THE CONGRESSIONAL

THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.
In surrcndcring my intciest in the organ Of
great political party cherished the purpose
OF continuing the Congressional Globe and,
IL possible, in lime, TO .Iciicct it into full |
history OF the action of Congress- giving the
debates accurately and fully with the proceed.
ing,-all stamped with the verify Of an official
record From The passage in the letter OF
General Washington, which have quoted, 1t
will be- perceived that he thought this office
might be combined with that OF a regular
newspaper; and ii is certain that the avidty
OF the public for news of the less important
kind greatly contributes TO give wings 10 the
weshtier matter which may be called Congress
sional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose OF perfect
ing the reports OF the debates in Congress and
giving them the official stamp, now propose
40 send Lcm abroad. in connection with the
news of the day, in such haste us shall out
sirip iull and accurate intelligence sent from
the seat Of Government in other form what
ever. 1t will even anticipate the scraps of
news forwarded to cities within two hundred
and fifty miles Of Washington by Telegraph
Before the events thus transmitted are pub
lished in lhe morning papers, tioi instance, of
the city Of New York; the Globe containing

city by the Express Mail Oi the pIcvions night
The process by which his will be effected /

Congress each in succession will take notes
during rve minutes, then retire. prepare them
for the Press,put them slap by slip in the hands
of conposiIors, aud thus, while debate is
going on ia Congress, 1t will I've pat Al tyre,

Congress will reach the cities two hundred

The miscellaneous news shall bc careful 10

ATE nee ea in the dissemination Of news
from Washington. Hitherto no newspaper
has attempted TO give authentic accounts Of
things done at Washington before the public
Iaind at distance had received its first impres
si0ns from irresponsible telegraphic dispatches,
or by Letter writer's biased by pecu lar views.
Washington has now become SO great CEN
tire of political interest during all the year
the proceedings of the Executive Departments
and The information collected by 'hem even
during the recess Of Congress is Of So much
importanc" TO the interest of every section OF
the country-that shall continue the publica-
tion Of the daily paper permanently, with
view TO become the vehicle Of the earliest and
most correct intelligence.
Ii is part OF my plan 10 reduce Tie price ol
the daily N half that of tho similar 1ailv
+ papers, and thus hope TO extend its circula-
tion so rs 10 invite advertisements ] will pub
lish advertisement for the Government. To
subscribers in the cities hope to submit such
terms as will induce them 10 advertise their
business in every village throughout the Un-
ion, where The Globe is sent daily under the
| franks OF members Of Congress, all OF whom
take it. aud some of them a large number of
copies.
The installation OF a new Administration
and new Congress roriends much change in
the course Of public affairs the result OF the
next session. Many vast interests which were
brought up in che last Congress were laid over
by the Democratic majority to await the action |
OF Democratic Executive. The new model !
f ing OF the tariff; The new land system the |
question of giving homesteads, and making ey- |
cry man freeholder who may choose TO be- |
come one the approx imation of the Atlantic |
and Pacific oceans by a national railroad a. |
cross the territory of the Union; reform in the |
Army, Navy, audcivil ofhces-al these great |
questions, with a thousand minor ones, deeply /
affecting multtudes ol men and every State |
10 the Union, WILL now being maiured by pub |
lie opinion, come up for the Governments de- |
cision. These new issues, cooperating with |
old ones, come up 10 he disposed OF by new ac
tors on the scenes at Washingi on, will be apt
to modify greatly, il not alter essentially, the |
party organizations Of the country.
To these elements OF interest another is like |
ly to be introduced by the interposition of The |
ngiiations Of Europe. After nearly iorty years
oil peace in Europe there is an evident restless
ness that now seems fraught with tendencies
threatening and il war comes, in all lkeli- |
hood there will follow such universal change
that the United States can scarcely hope to |
escape its vortex. Indeed, from late events 1t
is apparent that our Government is already
