THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.


In surrcndcring my interest in the organ of great
political party, cherished the purpose of continu-
ing the Congressional Globe and, il possible in time
10 perfect it into tull history ol the action OF
Congress, giving the debates accurately and fully
with the proceedings-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 regular newspaper; and
it is certain that the avdity OF the public Tor news Of
the less important kind greatly contributes TO give
wings to the weighlier matter which may be called
Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perlecing
the reports OF the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, now propose TO send them
abroad in connection with the news OF the day, in
such haste shall oulstrip full and accurate nelli
gence sent from the sent Of Government in any 9th
er form whatever. 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 published in the morning
papers, (or 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.
tccted now lay before the public.
! will have "A corps OF sixteen Reporters in Con-
gress; each in succession will take notes during five
minutes then retire, prepare them tort he Press, put
them slip by slip in the hands OF conpostors, and
thus, while debate is going on in Congress, il will
be put in type, and in 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 mud North, and by that Of 9u'clock D. m
for the South, all the proceedings olCongess up U
the ordinary hour OF adjournment. Thus the accurate
debates OF Congress will reach the cities two hun.
dred and fifty miles from The Capitol before their
daily morning papers are nscirculallon.
khe miscellaneous news l shall be careful to
gather from remote sections OF the country hy
telegraph. | will obtain from TIE Executive De-
parments, through official sources the matters oi
moment transacted in them. and, through agents
employed or the purpose all the city news OF con-
sequence in sufficient time TO be put into the Globe
and mailed in the Express Mail trains In this way
hope " create q new era in the dissemination ol
news from Washington. Hitherto no newspaper
has attempted TO give authentic accounts OF things
done ot Washington before the public mind at dis.
tance had received isrst impressions from irespon.
sible telcgraghic dispatches, or by ictterwrters
biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become 90 great center ol
political interest during all the yehrthe 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 o
every section OF the country-that shall continue
the publication of the daily paper permanently, with
view TO become the vehicle the earitst aud most
correct intelligence
ID is part OF nv plan TO reduce the price of th,
daily paper TO hu that OF similar daily papers; and
thus L hope to extend its circulation so MS TO invite
risements l will publish advertisements o
| the Government. To subscribers in the ciies
hope 10 submit such terms as will induce them Il
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 IL
and sbme OF them large number Of copls 5.
