letter of General Washington to David Stewart,

orlgnatedi in the mind ofthe Father OF his Country.

Gazettes in the Union do not generally

TnE DAILY GLOBE AND The CONGRESSIONAL. GLOBE
| In surrendermg my interest in the organ of a
great political party, | cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe and, ii possi-
bic, IN time TO perfect il into full history of the
action OF Congress- giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings--ull stamped with
the verify OF an official record From tn passage
| in the letter OF General Washington, which / have
| quoted, II will be perceived that he thought this
office might be combined with that of a regular
newspapers and 1t Is certain that the avidty Of the
| public for news OF the less important kind greatly
contributes 10 give wing 10 the weightier matter
| which may be called Congressional news.
| Having succeeded in my purpose Of periecting
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 us shall outstrp full and accu7
rate intelligence sent from the seat OF Government
| IN any other form whatever. 1t will even antci-
pate the scraps of news forwarded 10 cities within
two hundred and fifty miles OF Washington by tcle-
| graph Before the events thus transmitted are
published IN the morning papers, (ior instance of
the city OF New York; the Globe containing them
VIII 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 Con-
| Sress each IN succession will take notes during
| five minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands Of COM
posltors and thus, while a debate is going in
Congress, II will be put in type and in few min
utes after il is ended il 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, 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 cities two hundred and
fifty miles from the Capitol before their daily morn
| ing papers are IN circulation. ..,
| The miscellaneous news shall be careful TO
gather from remote sections Of the country by tele
graph will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through official sources, the matters of mo-
ment transacted in them, and through agents
employed Tor 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 10 create a new in the dissemina-
tion OF news from Washington. Hlherono news

| things done at Washington before the public mind

leiter-writers biased by peculiar views.
! Washington has now become great a centre
| OF political interest during all the year-the pro
ceedings of the Executive Departments and the
| information collected by them even during the re-
| cess oi Congress is Of so much importance 10 the
| interests OF every section of the counlry--that
shall continue the publication Of the daily paper

of the earliest and most correct Intelligence
| 1t is part OF my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper 10 half that of similar daily papers; and
thus hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
| advertisements. | will publish advertisements of
! the Government To subscribers in the cities
! hope TO submit such terms as will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Union, where the Globe is sent daily under

take il, and some ofthem large number of copies
The installation OF a new Administration and
new Congress portends much change in the course
OF public affairs the result of the next session.
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress laid over by the Democratic
majority to await the action ofa Democratic Ey-
| ecutve. The new modelling Of the tariff ; the new
land system the question Of giving homesteads,
ana making every man treeholder who may
choose to become one the approximation of the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a national railroad
across the territory OF the Union reform in the
Army, Navy, and civil ofiices--all these great ques-
tons, with thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
niultltudes OF men and every State in the Union.
WILL now being matnred by public opinion. come
up for the Governments decision. These new
issues, cooperating with old ones coming up 10 be
disposed OF ny 'ew actors on the scenes at Wash
lnSton, will be apt TO modify greatly, if not aier
essentially the party organizations OF the country.
10 these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the inerposition of the agita-
tons OF Europe. After nearly forty years of peace
in Europe there is an evident restessness that
now seems traught with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope to escape its vortex Indeed
from late events il is apparent that our government
is already drawn into European difficulties. These
circumstances are calculated 10 draw the public
| mind towards the next Congress with much cx-
pectation.
