THE DAILY GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
In surrendcring my interest in the organ
Of great political party, cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional
Globe, and, { possible, in time, 10 perfect II
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 III
the leilel Of General Washington, which
have Quoted, it will be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with
that Of regular newspaper; and 1t is certain
that the avdity of the public for news Of the
Eless important kind greatly contributes to
give wings TO the weightier matter which
NAV he called Congressional news
|
fectino the reports of the debates in Congress
and giving them the official stamp no"
nronose TO send them abroad, in connection
with the news of the day, in such haste as
shall outs,rip full and accurate intelligence
sent from the seat OF Government IN any
other form whatever. IT Will even anlici
pate the scraps of news forwarded 10 cues
within two hundred and fifty miles oil W ASH
ngton by telegraph. Before the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (fur instance, OF the city oil n. Ork)
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
l the public.
! will have a corps OF sixteen Reporters
in Congress each III succession Will take
notes during FIVE minutes; then retire, pre-
pare them Tor the Press, put them slip by
Slip in the hands of compositors; and thus
while debate is going on IN Congress II
will be put in type, and in lew minutes
after il is ended it will be in print. shall
hy this means be enabled to send by the
EXPRESS Mail Of O'Clock p. nj. tor the
East, West, and North. and by that oi . o
clock D. IN. for the South, all the prnceed
, ings of Congress up to the ordinary hour o
, adjournment. Thus the accurate debates o
Congress will reach The cities two hundred
and fifty miles from the Capitol btiore the!
, daily morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news shall be care
ful to gather from remote sections OF tht
country by telegraph. | will obtain iron
, the Executive Departments, through ofhcla
sources, the matters OF moment transacted
in them, and, through agents employed 10
the purpose: all the city news oil conse
uuenCe in sufficient time TO be put into tht
, the Globe and mailed in the Express Mai
trains In this way hope 10 create new
era in the dissemination of news iron
! Washington. Hitherto no newspaper ha'
attempted TO give authentic accounts o
things done at Washington before the pub
lie mind at distance had received its frs
impressions fom irresponsible telegraphl'
dispatches, or by letter-wrlters biased b!
peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great
! center Of political interest during all th'
year-the proceedings Of the Executive De
partments and the information collected b.
. them even during the recess Of Congress j
OF so much importance TO the interests o
every section of the c0untry-ihat | shal
continue the publication Of the daily pape
permanently, with a view to become tn
. vehicle Of the earliest and most correct in
teliqence.
1t is part OF my plan to reduce the prc
Of the daily paper 10 half that OF similar pa
' pers and thus hope to extend It's circula
, ton so as to invite advertisements. | vii
publish advertisements Of the Government
To subscribers in the cities hope to sub
} nit such terms as will induce them to ad
yertise their business in every villag
, throughout the Union, where the Globe i
sent daily under the franks of members o
Congress, all of whom take it, and some q
them large number Of copies
; The installation of new Administrator
and new Congress portends much chang
I in the course of public affairs as the resul
of the next session. Many vast Interest,"
which were brought up in the last Congres
were laid over blythe Democratic majority Il
y await The action of Democratic Executive
: The new modelling of the tariff; the nev
land system; the question of giving home
steads, and making every man ireeholde
who may choose TO become One; The approx
imatlon Of the Atlantic AMI Pacihc ocean
by a national railroad across the territory O
;, The Union, reform in the Army, Navy, an
civil of1ices-all these great questions, wit
a thousand minor ones, deeply atfectin
i muti.udes of men and every State in til
c Uuion, will, now being matured by public o
n pinion, come up for the Governments decis
: ion. These new issues, cooperating wit
g old ones, coming up to be disposed of b
new actors on the scenes at Washington
$ will be apt to modify greatly, if not alter es
sentially, The party organizations of tn
: country.
5 To these eleme MS OF interest another
lsely to be introduced by the inierpositio
;, ol the agitations of Europe. After nearl
! forty years of peace in Europe there is a
i evident restlessness that now seems iraugh
d with tendencies threatening war; and II wa
i comes, in all likelihood there will folloN
S such universal change that the Unite
n States can scarcely hope to escape its vol
?. tex. Indeed, from late events ii is aPparer
II that our Government. is already drawn in,
S European difficulties. These circumstance
d are calculated 10 draw the putlic mind to
II wards the next Congress with much expec
Y tation.
