giving tie debates accurately and fully with
lhe proc eednes-all stamped with the verify
nf an official record. From tie passage in
lhe leuct of Geuerai Washington, which ]
have quoted, il will be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with
that of a regular newspaper; and it is certain
hat the avldity of the public for uews OF the
less important kind greatly contributes 10
give wings TO the weighiier matter which
may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded 10 my purpose OF per
fecling The reports Of The debates in Congress
aud giving them the official stamp, | now
propose to send them abroad, in connection
with The news of The day, in such haste as
shall Cuis,rip lull and accurate intelligence
sent from lhe seat OF Government in any
other form whatever. 1t will even antic
pate the scraps OF news forwarded 10 cities
within ~ 0 hundred and fifty miles OF Wash
lngton by telegraph Before the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
papers, {.ur instance. OF The city OF \. York J
lhe G lot e containing them will have reached
he pest Office OF that city by the Express
Mail of tie previous night. The process by
which this will Ge effected now lay telore

VIII have a corps OF sixteen Reporters
in Congress each in succession will take
notes during FIVE minutes; then retire, pre-
pare Them lor the Press. put them slip by

qnence Ia sufficient time 10 be put into the

era in lie dissemination of news from
Washington. Hitherto no newspaper has
attempted to give authentic accounts OF

Impressions Lom Irresponsible lelegraplic
dispatches, or by letter writer's biased by

Washington has now become so great

paTimenis and The information collected by
them even during the recess OF Congress is
of so much Importance 10 The interests ol
