in surrenderIng my interest IN the organ Of q
great political party, cherished the purpose OF
continuing the Congressional Globe, and. il
possible. IN 'ime u perfect II into full history
OF the act'on OF congress, giving the debates;
accurately and iully with the proceedings-all
ampcd Win the verify OF an official record.
From the passage IN the letter OF Gen. WASH
inyton. when l have quoted. It will be per-
cevcd that nc thought this Office might be:
combined with That OF regular newspaper ;and.
1t IS Certain that the avidity Of the pubic for
news Of the less important kind, greatly con-
tributes toglve wings to the weightier matter
which may be called congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose Of perfect.
ing 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 cay, in such haste as shalt outstrip full
and accurate intelligence sent from the seat Of
Government in any other form whatever. 1t:
will even anticipate the scraps Of news for
warded u cities within two hundred and fifty
miles of Washington by telegraph. Be- ,re the
events thus Transmitted are Published in the
morning papers, for instance, Of the city Of
New York, the Globe cOniainin, them will
have reached the post Office of that city by the
Express Mail of the previous night The pro-
cess by which this Will be- clfoc.el ! n)w lay
before the public.
Twill have corps Of sixteen reporters in
congress; each in succession will take notes
during five minutes then retire, prepare them
for the press; pat them slip by slip in the hands
OF compostors, ani thus, while debate is 60
ing on in congress, it will be pit in type, and
in few minutes after it is ended il will be IN,
print. shall by this means be enabled to send
by the Express Nail of 8 O'Clock p. m. for the
East West, and North, and by that Of clock
p m. ior, the south, all the proceedings OF cIn-
s,ess up I" tne ordinary hoar oi adJoarnmsIt.

in the dissemination of news from WASHINGTON.
Hitherto no newspaner has attemnt,tl to viy,.
authentic accounts OF things done ut Washing

Washington has now bec,m, so great Gen..
ter of political interest during nll the year-the
proceedings Of the Executive Departments and
the information collected by them even during
the recess Of congress is of SO much Importance
to the interests Of every section Of ths country
that Shall continue the publication OF the
daily paper permanently, with view TO be-
come tne vehicle VI 'he ea'Iiest aiu mSt cot-
rect Intelligence.
It's part OF my plan to reduce the price Of the daily
paper TO half that Of similar duly papors; and thus
hope to extend It's circulation so ns 10 invite adver
hsements. will publish advertisements Of the Co
vernnent TO subscribers In the cities hope to sub.
nit such terms as will induce them to advertise their
in every village tn rougou, the Union where
the Globe is sen, daily under tho franks of members
of Congress- all of whom take it, and some of them
large number of copies.
The installation ofa new Administration and q new
Congress- portends much change in the course of pub.
lie affairs a, tho result Of the next session. Many
vast interests which were brought up in the las, Con-
rres. were la,d over by The Democ ratio majority to
avail, the action Of Democratic Executive. The new
modsliup ofthc thrift; tho new land system; the ques.
ton of giving homes,eads, and making every man q
