THE DAILY GLOBE AND THE CosGRfssIoNA1
EIoBE.--In suiTending my interest IN the or
gan of a great political party, cherished the
purpose OF continuing the Congressional Globe
and If possible in time to perfect it into fu j
history of the action of Congress, giving the
debates accurately and fully with the proceed
ings-all stamped with the verify of an ofiica
record. From the passage in the letter of Gen
erai Washington which have quoted, it will be
perceived that he thought this office might be
combined with that of a regular newspaper
and it is certain that the avidity of the public
for news of the less important kind greatly con-
tributes TO give wings to the weighter matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose Of perfect
ing the reports of the debates i'll Congress and
giving the official stamp, now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of
tho day, in such haste as shall outstrip full and
accurate intelligence sent from the seat of gov
ernment in any other form whatever. 1t viii
even anticipate the scraps of news forwarded
tocities within two hundred and fifty miles of
Washington by telegraph Before the events
thus transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (for 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 previous night. The process by which this

accurate debates of Congress wilt reach the cit

culation.
The miscellaneous newsI shall be careful to
gather frcm remote sections of the country by
telegraph. / will obtain from the Executive
Departments, through official sources, the mat
ters moment transacted in them, and, through
agents employed for the purpose, all the city
news of consequence in sufficient time to be put
into tho 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 Washing
ton. before the public mind at distance had re-
ceived its first impressions from irresponsible
telegraphic dispatchers, or by letterwriters
biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great cen
ter of political interest during the year-the
proceedings of the Executive Departments and
the information collected by them even during
ttor 49, 70 Of
tance to the interests of every section of the
country-that / shall continue the publication
OF adaily paper permanently, with view to
become the vehicle of the earliest and most COR
rect intelligence.
. 1t is part of my plan to reduce the price of
the daily paper to half that of similar daily pa
pers; and thus hope to extend it's circulation
SO as to invite advertisements. | will publish
advertisements of the Government To sub
sGribers in the cities hope to submit such terms
as will induce them to advertise their business
in every village throughout the Union, where
the Globe is sent daily under the franks of
members of Congress, all of whom take it, and
some of them a large number of copies
The installation of new Administration and
a new Congress portends much change in the
course of public affairs as the result of the next
session Many vast interests which were bro't
up in the last Congress were laid over by the
Democratic majority to await the action of a
Democratic Executive. The new modelling of
the tariff; the new land system; the question of
giving yhomesteads, and making every man a
treeholder who may choose to become one; the
approximation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by national railroad across the territory of the
Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and civil of
tices--all these great questions. with a thousand
minor ones, deeply affecting multitudes of men
and every State in the Union will, now being
matfired by public opinion, come up for the
Governments decision. These new issues, CO.
operating with old ones, coming up to be dis
posed of by new actors on the scenes at Wash |
ington, will be apt to modify greatly, if not al
ter essentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements Of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interpositlon of the agi-
tations of Europe. After nearly forty years of
peace in Europe there is an evident restlessness
that now seem fraught with tendencies threat
ening war, and if war comes, i'll all Likelihood
there will be such universal change that the
u. States can scarcely hope to escape its vor-
tex. Indeed, from late events it is apparent
that our Government is already drawn into Eu-
ropean difficulties. These circumstances are
calculated to draw the public mind towards the
next, Congress with much expectation.
