with the proceedings-a stamped with the VERT,
oi official record. From the passage in the letter
ot General Washington, which have quoted. il
will be perceived that he thought this office niyhi
be combined with thnt OF n regular newspaper; and
is certain that the avidity of the public for news OF
the less important kind grerty contributes to give
wings to the weighier matter which may be called
Congressional news
! Having succeeded in my purpose Of perfec,inr
the reports Of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, now propose TO send theln
abroad, In connection with the news of the day, in
suc haste shall outstrip full and accurate intci.
genee sent from the seat OF Government in any 9th
form whatever II will anticipate the scraps
Of news forwarded 10 cities within two hundred and
fifty miles OF Washington by telegraph Before the
events thus transmitted published in the morning
papers, Qor instance, OF the city Of New York; the
Globe containing them will have reached the post
Office Of that city by the Express Mail Of the pre-
vious night. The process by which this will be ef
tected now lay before the public.
Twill have a corps OF sixteen Reporters in Con-
gress; each in succession will take notes during five
minutes, then retire. prepare them for ne Press put
them slip by slip in the hands OF compositors and
thus while debate going in Congress, it will
be put in type, and ina few minutes after il is ended
it will be in print. shall by this means be enabled
TO send BY the Express Mail Of O'Clock p m for the
East, West and North, and by that Of 9oclock p IN.
for the South, all the proceedings ofCongress up to
the ordinary hour OF adjournment. Thus the
debates OF Congress will reach the cities two hun
dred and fifty miles from the Capitol before their
ualy morning pnpers are liSclrculutlon.
The miscellaneous news l shall be careful to
gather from remote sections OF the country by
telegraph | will obtain from the Executive De.
partments through official sources, the matters of
moment transacted in them, and, through agents
employed for the purpose, all the city news OF con-
sequence in sufficient time 10 be put into the Globe
and mailed in the Express Mail trains. In this way
\ hope to create new era In the dissemination of
news from Washington, Hitherto no newspaper
has attempted to give authentic accounts OF things
done at Washington before the public mind at dis
ance had received tshrst impressions from rrespon.
sibe tecgraghic dispatches, or by letter-writers
biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become go great center Of
political interest during all the year--the proceedings
of the Executive Departments and the information
collected by them even during the recess Of Con-
gress is of so much Importance to the interests of
every section of the countrythat | shall continue
the publication of the daily paper permanently, with
view to become the vehicle OF the earliest md most

II is part OF my plan to reduce the price OF the

and some OF them large number Of copi,s.
: The installation OF a new Administration and
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public ufiairs the result Of the next session
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the Democratic
majority TO await the aciion OF Democratic Ex-
oc1tive The new modelling oil the tariff; the new
land system; the question Of giving homesteads and
making every man treeholder who may choose to
become one, the approximation OF the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans by national railroad across the ter.
rtory Of the Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and
civil Offices all these great questions with thous
and minor cnes, deeply affecting mulitudes Of men
and every State in the Union, will, now being
matured by public opinion, come up for the Govern
ment's decision. These new issues, cooperating
with old ones, coming up be disposed Of by new
actors on the scenes at Washington, will be apt 10
modify greatly, il not alter essentially the party
organizations Of the country
TO these elements Of interest another is likely to
be introduced by the interposiiOn Of the agitaons
OF Europe. Alter nearly forty years Of peace in
Europe there is an evident restlessness that now
seems traught with tendencies threatening war; and
il war comes, in all likelihood there will follow such
hope TO escape its vortex. Indeed, from late events
il is apparent that our Government is already drawn
into European difficulties. These circumstances are
calculated to draw the public mind towards the next
Congress with much expectation. ...
