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 possi-
Bile, in time, to perfect i into full history Of the
action Of Congress, giving the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings-all stamped with
the verify of an official record. From the 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 regular
newspaper; and il is certain that the avdty OF the
public for news of the less important kind greatly
contributes 10 give wing TO the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news. 4, 5f
Having succeeded in my purpose Of perfecting
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 outstrip full and accu-
rate intelligence sent from the seat of Government
IN any other form whatever. il will even antic-
two hundred and ffymiles Of Washington by tele-
graph. 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 fthe previous night The process
by which this will be effected now lay before the
public, .3as ss s N .s$ . 4ss sf
will have corps Of sixteen Reporters in Con-
gress; each IN succession will take notes during
five minutes, then retire. prepare them for the

Congress, il 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 Congpess 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. 4 3Y s-sts.,4sFE
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 to create new era in the dissemina-
tion of news from Washington. Hitherto no news
paper has attempted 10 give authentic accounts of
things done at Washington before the public mind
at distance had received its first Impressions
form irresponsible telegraphic dispatches or by
letter-writers biased by peculiar views
Washington has now become so great 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 OF Congress is of so much importance to the
interests OF every section of the conntry--that
shall continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently, with avew to become the vehicle
ofthe earliest and most correct intelligence.
1t is part OF my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers; and
thus hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisements. Twill publish advertisements OF
the Government To subscribers in the cities
hope to submit such terms will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the Mon, where the Globe seat daily under
the franks OF members Of Congress, all of whom
take ii, and some ofthem 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 brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the Democratic
majority 10 await the action of Democratic Ex-
ecutlve. The new modelling of the tariff Il the new
land system the question Of giving homcsteads
and making every man a freeholder 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 ofices-al these great ques-
tions, with thousand minor ones deeply affecting
multtudes OF men and every State in the Union,
will, now being matured by public opinion, come
up for the Governments decision. These new
issues, cooperating with old ones, coming up 10 be
disposed OF by ,ew actors on the scenes al Wash
ngton, will be apt TO modify greatly, if not alter
essentially the party organizations of the country
N To these elements of interest another is likely
TO be introduced by the interpostion the agita-
tons of Europe. After nearly forty years of peace
in Europe there is an evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; and ifwar comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United States
can scarcely hope TO escape IFS vortex. Indeed
from late events il is apparent that government
is already drawni into European difficulties. These
circumstances are calculated 10 draw the public
mind towards the next Congress- with much ex-
pectation. ssffe ft N 3t57.,sfF s 4lft }.55
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on fine paper,
double royal size with small type, (brevier and
nonpareil,) at 1--WE dollars year. 81 ~
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will also be printed
on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size. each number containing sixteen pages.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE proper will be made
up fthe proceedings of Congress and the running
debates as given by the Reporters. The speeches
which members may choose TO write ont them
selves will, together with the messages of the
President of the United States. the reports of the
Executive Departments, and the laws passed by
Congress, be added in an Appendix. Formerly
received subscriptions for the Congressional
Globe and Appendix separately. But this has
not been found satisfactory, inasmich as il gave
an incomplete view Of the transactions in Con-
gress and therefore have concluded not to sell
them apart, considering that neghbors have the
advantage Of both by clubbing, in case individuals
shall find il too onerous 10 be at the charge ofboth
