THE DAILY GLOBE AND CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE.
In surreudcring my interest in the organ Of u
grOnt political party, cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, and fC pos
sble, in time, TO perfect it into full history of
the action of Congress, giving the debates aeon
rately and fully with the proceedings-nll stamp
ed with the verify of an official record. From
the passage in the letter of General Washington,
which have quoted, it will be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with that
of regular newspaper and it is certain that the
iavidt of the public for news of the less impor-
tant kind greatly contributes to give wings to the
wcighter matter which may be called Congress
siOnal news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of Perfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, l now propose to send
them abroad in connection with the news OF the
day in such haste shall outStrip full and accu-
rate intelligence sent from the seat government
in any other form whatever. 1t will even antici-
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities 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 Y ork. the Globe containing them
will have reached the post Office of the city by
th' Express Mail of the previous night. The
process by which this will be effected now lay
before the public.
l will huve n corps of sixteen Reporters in Con-
pnch i'm will tnlr rurinp
five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
press, put them clip by slip in the hands of the
compositions, and thus, while debate is going
on in Congress, it will be put in type, and in
few minutes after it is ended it will be in print
shall by this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail of o'clock, P, NJ, for the East,
West, and North, and by that of 9 o'clock 2. NJ,
for the South, all the proceedings Of Congress up
to the ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the
accurate debates of Congress will reach the cities
two hundred and fifty mics from the Capitol be-
fore their daily morningepaPers are in circuia-
ton.
The miscellaneous news 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. end through
agents employed for the purpose, all city news
of consequence, IN sufficient time tn be put into
the Globe and mailed in tho Express Mail trains.
In this way, hope to create u new era in the
discrimination OF news from Washington
Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to give au
thentic accounts of things doue at Washington,
before the public mind at diStunc" had received
its first impressions from irresponsible" telegraph
ic dispatches, or by cttcr-writcrs biased by pecu-
lihrviews.
Washington has now become SO great a centre
of political interest during all the Year-thc pro
ceedings of the Executive Departments and the
information collected by them even during the
recess OF Congress is of much Importance to
the interests of every section of the country
that | shall continue the publication of the daily
paper permanently. with view to become the
vehicle of the earliest and most correct inteli
gence.
If is part of my plan TO reduce tn" price of the
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers,
and thus hope to extend it's circulation to
invite advertisements. | will publish ADVERTISE
rnents of the Government. To subscribers in the
cities hope to submit snch terms rs will induce
them to advertise their business in every village
throughout tho Union, where the Globe is sent
daily under the franks. of members of Congress,
all of whom take it, lund some of them large
number of copies.
The installation of Il new administration and
new Congress, porlcnds much change in the
course of public afEtirS the result of the next
session. Many vast interests which were brought
up i'll the last Congress were laid over by the
Democratic majority to await the action of II De-
mocratIc Executive. The new modelling of the
thrift; the new land system the question of gil
wing hOmesteads and making every man free
holder who may choose TO become one the ap-
Proclamation OF the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by
national railroad aero. the territory Of the
Union; reform il tie army, navy, and civil otfi-
ccs-all these great questions, with thousand
minor On"s, deeply affecting muititudcs of men
and every State in the UuiOu, will, now being
III TT c by public opinion, come up for the CO.
VrrnmCut's decision. These new issues co-ope-
rating with old ones, coming up to be disposed
Of by new actors on tue scenes at Washington,
will be apt To modify greatly. if not alter essen
TALLY, the party organizations of the country.
To these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interpOsition Of the agi-
tatIon Of Europe. After nearly forty years of
peace in Europe there is an evident restIessness
that now seems fraught with Tendencies threat
ching wTr: and If war comes. i'll all likelihood
there will follow such univcral change, that the
t ulcd States scarcely hope to escape the
OrteX. Indeed, from late events it is apparent
that our government is already drawn into Eu
rOpean difficulties. Thscss circumstances are
calculated to draw the public mind towards the
next Congress without much expectation.
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size, W it'll small type, (breyier and
nunparcil) at five dollars u year.
The Congressional Globe will also be printed
on double royal sheet, in book form, royul
Tuurto size, each number containing sixteen pa
gcS. The Congressional Globe proper will be
made up of the proceedings OF Congress and the
running debatcs Us given by the Reporters. The
speeches which members may choose to write
out themselves, together with the messages of
the President OF the United Suites. the reports of
the Executive Departments, and the laws passed
by Congress, be added in Appendix. For
mcrly | received subscriptions for the Congress
sionul Globe and Appendix separately. But this
has not been found satisfactory, inasmuch as it
gave an incomplete view of the transactions in
Congress, and therefore, have concluded not to
sell them apart, considering that neighbors can
have the advantage of both by clubbing in case
an individual shall ind it too onerous to be at the
charge of both.
