The DAILY GLOBE
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.

The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.
In surr endering my interest in the organ of a
great political party, cherished the purpose OF
continuing the Congressional Globe. aud, if pos
sible, in time. to perfect it into full history OF
the action of Congress, giving the debates accu-
rately and fully with the proceedings-all stamp
ed ith the verify of An official record. From:
the passage in the letter of General Washington,
which have quoted, il 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 impor.
tant kind greatly contributes to give wings to the
wegher matter which may be called Congress
sional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of periecting
the reports of the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, l now propose to send
them abroad, In connection with the news ot the
day, in such haste shall outstrip full and accu-
rate intelligence sent from the seat nj Government
in any other form whatever. 1t will even antici.
pate the scraps OF news forwarded to cities within
two hundred 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 pro-
cess by which this win be effected now lay be.
fore the public.
will have corps of sixteen Reporters in Con-
gress; each in succession will take notes during
lFe minutes, tnen TetUe, pTepdic tuem ioT tile
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of COM
positors, and thus, while debate is going on in
Congress- it will be put in type, aud in few nin-
utes after it is ended 1t 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 of9 o'clock p. m. for the
South, all the proceedings Of Congress up to the
ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the accu-
rate debates of Congress will reach the cities two
hundred and fifty miles from the Capitol before
their daily morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news | shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by
telegraph. will obtain from the Executive De-
partments. through official sources. the matters
ofmoment 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 Mail trains. In
this way hope to create new era in the dis.
semination of news from Washington. Hitherto
no newspaper has attempted to give authentic ac.
counts Of things done at Washington before the
public mind at a distance had received Its frs
impressions from irresponsible telegraphic dis
patches, or by letter-writers biased BY peculia,
views tti5f go
Washington has now become so great cente,
Of political interest during all the year-the pro
ceedings of the Executive Departments and the
information collected by them even during the r e
cess of Congress is of SO much Importance to the
interests Of every section of the country--that
shall continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently. with view to become the vehicle
Of the earliest and most correct ectinteligence.
