THE GLOBE.
IINHE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CON-
Il GRESS, AND NEWSPAPER FOR THE
PEOPLE.-It will be seen by the annexed ex-
tract from letter of General Washington, to
David Stewart, dated New York, 18th March
1890, that the idea of such paper as l pro-
pose to make the Globe, originated in the mind
of the Father of his country He said:
at is to be lamented that the editors of the
different Gazettes in the Union do not more gen
orally and more correctly (nstead of stuffing
their papers with scurrility and nonsensical de-
clamation, which few would read if they were
appraised of the cohtents) publish the debates
in Congress all great national questions
The principle upon which the difference of O.
pinions ARISES, as well as the decisions, would
then come fully before the public, and afford
the best data for its Judgement. u Spark wri-

THE DAILY GLOBE AND THE CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE.-In surrending my interest in the or
gan of a great political party, cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional Globe,
and, if possible in time, to perfect it into full
history of the action of Congress, giving the
debates accurately and fully with the proceed
ings-al stamped with the verify of an official
record. From the passage in the letter of Gen
eral Washington which have quoted, it will be
perceived that he thought this Office might be
combined with that of a regular newspaper
| and it is certain that the avidity of the public
for news of the less important kind greatly con-
tributes to give 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 the official stamp, now propose to send
them abroad, in connection with the news of
the day, in such haste as shall outstrip full and
accurate INTEL igence sent from the seat Of gov
ernment in any other 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
papers, (for instance of the city of New York, y
the Globe 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 corps of Is reporters in Con-
gress; each in succession will take notes during
five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
compositors, 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.
I shall bv this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail of 5 o'lcock, P. M, or the East,
West, and North, and by that of o'clock, P. M,
for the south all the proceedings of Congress up
to the ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the
accurate debates of Congress will reach the cit
les two hundred and fifty miles from the Capt.
tol before their daily morning papers are in cir
culation
The miscellaneous news shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by
| telegraph / will obtain from the Executive
Departments, through official sources, the mat
| ters moment transacted in them, and, through
agents employed for the purpose, all the city
news of consequence in sufficient time to be put
into tho Globe and mailed in the Express Mail
trains. In this way hope to create new era
in the dissemination of news from Washington.
Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to give
authentic accounts of things done at Washing
ton before the public mind at a distance had re-
ceived it's first impressions from irresponsible
telegraphic dispatchers, or by letter-writers
biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become SO great cen
ter of political interest during the year-the
proceedings of the Executive Departments and
the information collected by them even during
the recess of Congress is of so much impor-
tance to the interests of every section of the
country-that I shall continue the publication
of daily paper permanently, with a view to
become the vehicle of the earliest and most cor
rect intelligence
1t is part of my plan to reduce the price of
the daily paper to half that of similar daily pa
pers: and thus hope to extend it's circulation
so as to invite advertisements. will publish
advertisements Of the Government To sub
scrbers in the cities hope to submit such terms
as will induce them to 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 It, and
some of them large number of copies.
The installation of new Administration and
a new Congress portends much change in the
course of public affairs as the result of the next
session. Many vast interests which were bro't
up in the last Congress were laid over by the
Democratic majority to await the action of a
, Democratic Executive. The new modelling OF
+J,o ba now land SvSton. tho oueStiOn Of
giving homesteads, and making every man a
freeholder who may choose to become one; the
approximation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
bv national railroad across the territory of the
, Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and civil of
fces-all these great questions. with thousand
minor ones, deeply affecting muitltudes OF mer
: and every State in the Union, will, now being
matured by public opinion, come up for the
: Governments decision. These new issues, CO
operating with old ones, coming up to be dis
, posed of by new actors on the scenes at Wash
ington, will be apt to modify greatly, if not al
r ter essentially, the party organizations OF the
country.
t To these clements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interpositlon Of the agi
tatlons OF Europe. After nearly forty years o
