THE DAILY GLOBE AND THE EcoNCBEssioNALGLoBE
In surrcndcring my interest in the organ of a.
great political party | cherished the purpose of
continuing the Congressional Globe, aud, IL posi-
bic in time, 10 perfect it into full history Of the
action of Congress, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the procccdings-all stamped with
the verify Of AN official record. From the passage
in the letter of General Washington which have
quoted it will be perceived that he thought this Of
flee might be combined with that of a regular news
paper; and it is certain that the ayidity of the pub
lie for news of the less important kind greatly con
tributes to give wings the weighter matter which
may he called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of porfecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp lnow propose 10 send them
abroad, in connection with the news Of the day, in
such hastcas shall outstrp full and accurate in
tclgence sent from the seat Of Government in any
form whatever. 1t will even anticipate the
scraps of news forwarded to cities within two hun
drcd and fifty miles of Washington by Telegraph
Before the events thus transmitted are published
in the morning papers, for 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 previous night. The process by which
this will be effected now lay before the public.
will have corps of sixteen Reporters in Con-
gross; 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 compositors,
and thus, while debate is going on in Congress, it
VIII be put in type, and in few minucts after it is
ended il will be in print. / shall by this means be
enabled to send by the Express Mail offs o'clock u.
NJ. for the East West and North and by that of
9oclock p. NJ. for the South, all the proceedings
of Congress up to the ordinary hour oladj djounment
Thus the accurate debates of Congress will reach
the cities two hundred and fifty miles from the Cap
ito before their daily morning papers are in circu-
lation.
The miscellaneous news shall be careful TO gath
cr from remote sections of the country by telegraph
| will obtain from the Executive Dcgartm6nts
through official sources, the matters of moment
transacted in them, and, through agents employed
for the purpose all the city news of consequence in
sufficient time to be put into the Globe and mailed in
the Express Nailtrains. In this way hope to create
new era in the dissemination of news fromS mSWash-
ington. Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to
give authentic accounts of things done at Washing
ton before the public mind Mt distance had re-
ccyed its first impressions from irresponsible cle-
graphic dispatches, by letter-writors biased by
peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great n center of
political interest during all the year-the procee-
dings of the Executive Departments and the infOr-
nation collected by them even during the recess of
Congress is of 30 much Importance to the interests
of every section of the country-that | shall con-
tinue the publication of the daily paper permanent
ly, with view to become tho vehicle of the earli-
est and most correctintelligcnce.
It's part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to hal that of similar dali papers, and
thus / hope to extend its circulation so as to in
vito advertisements. ] vii, 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
the franks of members of Congress, all of whom
take it, and some Of them large number Of cop
les.
The installation Of now Administration and
new Congress portcnds 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 were laid over by the Democratic ma
iority to await the action Of n Democratic Execu
tive The new modelling of the tariff; the new land
system; the question Of giving hOmesteads, and
making every man freehoder who may choose to
become one the approximation of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans by national railroad across the ter
rtory of the Union; reform in the Army Navy,
and civil ohces--all these great questions with Il
thousand minor ones, deeply affecting multitudes of
men and every State in the Union, will, now being
maturcd by public opinion, come up for the Gov
ernment's decision. These new issues, coopera-
ting with old ones, coming upto he disposed OF by
new actors on the scenes at Washington, will be
apt to modify greatly if not alter essentially the
party organizations of the country.
To these elements of interest another is likely to
be introduced by the nterposition Of the agtations
of Europe. After nearly forty years of peace in |
Europe there is an evident restlessness that now
seems fraught 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 it is apparent that our Government is |
already drawn into European difficulties These
circumstances are calculated to draw the public
mind towards the next Congress with much expec-
taton.
