THE DAILY GLoBE
AND
THE CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE
In surrendering my interest IN the organ
of great political party, cherished the
purpose Of continuing The Congressional
Globe, and, if possible, in time, to perfect II
into full history Of the action OF Congress.
giving the debates accurately and fully with
the proceedngs-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 office might be combined with
that Of a regular newspaper; and it is certain
that the ayldiy Of The public for uews of the
less important kind greatly contributes TO
give wings 10 the weightier matter which
nav be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose OF per-
ecting the reports of the debates IN Congress
and giving them 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 intelligence
sent from the seat Of Government IN any
other form whatever II will even antlci
pate the scraps of news forwarded To cities
within two hundred and fifty miles OF Wash
ngton by telegraph. Before the events thus
Transmitted are published in the morning
pdpers, orinstance of the city OF n. 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 Congress each in succession Will take
notes during FIVE minutes; then retire, pre-
pare them Tor The Press, put them sl'P by
Slip in the hands of compositors; and thus.
while debate IS going on in Congress, II
will be put in type, aud in few minutes
after it is ended il will be in print. shall
ivy 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. IN. for the South, all the proceed
inqs of Congress up to the ordinary hour oil
adjournment. Thus The accurate debates a
Congress will reach the cities two hundred
and fifty miles from the Capitol b,fore ihelr
daily morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news | shall be care.
ful to gather from. remote sections OF the
country hy telegraph. | will obtain from
the Executive Departments, through official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
in them, and, through agents employed for
the purpose. all the city news OF coGse-
ouence in sufficient time 10 be put into the
the Globe and mailed in the Express Mali
trains In this way hope 10 create new
era in the dissemination Of news from
Washington Hitherto no newspaper has
attempted to give authentic accounts OF
things done at Washington before the pub
lie mind al a distance had received its first
impressions fem irresponsible telegraphlC
dispatches, or by letter writer's biased by
peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great a
center Of political interest during all the
year-,he proceedings OF the Executive De
paItments and the information collected by
Them even during the recess of Congress Is
of SO much Importance to the interests OF
every section Of the couDtry-that l shall
continue the publication Of the daily paper
permanently, with view TO become the
vehicle Of the earliest and most correct in
telligence.
1t is part Of my plan TO reduce the price
of the daily paper TO half that of similar pa
tion so as To invite advertisements. will
publish advertisements Of the Government
TO subscribers in the cities hope to sub
nit such terms as will induce them to ad-
vertise their business in eyery village
throughout the Union, where the Globe is
sent daily under the franks Of members @.

them a large number of copies
The installation Of new Administi alton
and 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 to
await the action of a Democratic Executive.
The new modelling of the tariff; the new
land system; the question OF giving home
sleads, and making every man freeholder
who may choose 10 become one; the approx
imaiIon of the Atlantic AMI Pacific oceans
by national railroad across The territory OF
the Union, reform in the Army, Navy, and
civil offices-all these great questions, with
a thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
multi:udes OF men and every State in the
UuioH, will, now being matured by public o.
pinion, come up for the Governments decis
ion. These new issues, cooperating with
old ones, coming up TO be dispnsed of by
new actors on the scenes at Washington,
will be apt to modify greatly, if not alter es
sentially, the party organizations of the
country.
To these elements of interest another is
llkelY to be introduced by the interposllion
OF the agitatons Of Europe. Alter nearly
forty years of peace in Europe there is an
evident restlessness that now seems iraught
with tendencies threatening war; and il war
comes, in all likelihood there will follow
such universal change that the United
States can scarcely hope TO escape its sor
tex. Inde ed, from late events it is apparent
that our Government: is already drawn into
European difficulties. These circumstances
are calculated 10 draw the public mind to
wards the next Congress with much expec-
talion.
The Daily Globe will be printed on fne
paper, double royal size, with small type,
(brevier and nonpareil,) at FIVE dollars

The Congressional Globe will also be prin.
