Your unhappy friend 1880.
njOne year ago This morning, we assum-
cd The editorial management Of the Daily
Neacs Up to that time it had bern a neutral
paper, and had but few regular subscribers, =
its circulation depending mostly on the caprics
of the public, or the importance Of the news
each days issue contained. Our first object
was to effect change in this particular, and
give the paper more permanent circulation
by obtaining regular subscribers; we have ac-
compshed this, and the Nelrs now goes reg
ular!y every morning into majority of the
families Of the place.
We at once made it Wing paper as twas
well known by those who knew US that we
wee thoroughly Wing in sen iment, ,and as wo
intended to express honest and candid opinions
on all topics, we most of all desired to be at
liberty TO speak boldly on political matters.
Our chief desire has been TO give high
moral tone and permanent cha racter to the pa
per and it's present circulation, together with
the approving words which have been spoken
to u.s. relative to our editorial course, not only
hy friends. but by those who were strangers
to us, aflords satisfactory evidence that our Of.
forts have MT been unavailing.
We have endeavored TO furnish the latest
intelligence of every kind, and to chr onicle all
transactions of a local character, in such a
manner as to give satisfaction in all respects.
Our editorial remarks have been very general =

Papers are furnished at so low price that
they circulate through all avenues and into

therefore be very cautious in TIE management
of their columns, and permit nothing TO go out
