THE DAILY GLOBE
| AND
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
In surrendering my interest in the organ
of great political party, | cherished the
purpose OF continuing the Congressional
| Globe, and, if possible, in time, TO perfect il
Iuto full history of the action Of Congress.
giving the debates accurately and fully with
The proceedings stamped with the verify
Of an official record From the passage 10
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 ii is certain
that the avldity of the public for uews OF the
less important kind greatly contributes TO
give wings TO the weighiier matter which
may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose ol per-
fecting the reports Of the debates in Congress
and giving them the official stamp, | now
propose 10 send them abroad, in connection
with the news of the day, in such haste as
shall ouisirip full and accurate intelligence
sent from the seat of Government in any
other form whatever 1t will even antici.
pate Tie scraps Of news forwarded to cities
within two hundred and fifty miles OF Wash
Ington by telegraph. Before the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (tor instance, of The city of n. York }
the GIote containing Them will have reached
The post office OF that city by the Express
Mail of the previous night The process by
| which this will be effected | now lay before
the public.
! will have a corps Of sixteen Reporters
in Congress each in succession will take
notes during FIVE minutes; then retire, pre-
pare them for the Press. put them slip by
slip in the hands Of compositors; and thus.
while debate is going on in Congress. IL
will be put in type, and in few minutes
after il is ended ii will be in print. l 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 o.
clock p IN. for the South, all the proceed
ings Of Congress UP TO The ordinary hour OF
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates o
Congress will reach the cities two hundred
and fifty miles from the Capitol before thelI
daily morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news | shall be care
ful TO gather from remote sections of the
country by telegraph. 1 will obtain from
the Executive Departments, through official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
in them, and, through agents employed for
the purpose. all the city news Of conse- |
quence in sufficient time to be put into the
the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail |
trains. La this way hope 10 create new |
era in the dissemination Of news from
Washington. Hitherto no newspaper has |
attempted 10 give authentic accounts OF
things done al Washington before the pub

Impressions fom irresponsible lelegraphic
or by letter writer's biased by

Washington has now become so great
