give our patrons more reading matter urge
us to enlarge the Daily Journal We are
making the necessary preparations, and an
ticipate enlarging so soon as our present stock
ofdaily paper is exhausted. As this enlarge
ment will be accompanied by much addition
al expense, and without any increase in price
of subscription we hope the public will ex-
hibit the proper spirit of encouragement In
return, and thus prove to US, that whenever
we may feel ike increasing our already heavy
expenses to please them, we can DO so with
certainty of meeting spirit OF reciprocauon'

Daily Journal will otherwise be improved IN
its typographical appearance.
We are now endeavoring to secure the ser
vices of an experienced and competent Assis-
tant Editor when the commercial depart
nent of the Journal shall receive that atten-
ton demanded by the Importance oil the snip
ping interests and large wholesale business oil
Evansville. At present, our individual du-
ties are so multifarious and engrosslng, that
we are utterly prevented from giving com
mercial matters that attention their lmpor-
lance seems to require. But to perfect the
Journal-to make 1t all a good business, fam
lily and political paper should be-must be
the work of time. and the result OF patronage.
Our patrons may rely upon this fact-that
the Journal shall always be as good paper
as it's patronage will admit. If, in any de-
partment. it seem not fully what it should be,
the way to secure the object is to increase our
patronage sufficient to justify the improve
ment.
To please all, is not our intention. Indeed,
were we so fortunate as to succeed Ill this
impossbility, we should suspect our own VIZ
tue. But, so far as we can learn. the readers
of the Journal seem satisfied with the paper.
To those, if there be any, who do not like it,
we invite comparison of the Journal with
the other Dailies Of Indiana, and with the
majority of the larger city Dalies. Person
ally, we write every paragraph OF editorial
and the Journal has GllUGys its just proper
ton of original matter. Yet this is but a
small portion of our duties, which are connec-
ted with the books, correspondence, mailing
of papers. and the mechanical departments

yet we ask comparison Of the Daily Journal
with the majority of these city sheets. The
only thing we have to complain of is, that we
have no time for the examination of docu-
ments in disputed political positions or ques-
tons, even on points most easily susceptible
of proof-nor to collect those statistics so i'm

of that, reminds US that this is the very time
for subscribing to the Journal and patronizing

then lberally-for one good Daily paper is
worth more to young and growing city like
this, than two or half dozen bad ones We
doubt whether Evansville can support two
Dailies at this time so literally, as to enable
the publishers TO make such papers as will
dohonor to the city. We have no fears from
opposition, for the best paper will be the best
patronized-and the experience of our late
contemporary fully proves, that no other than
good papers qoiU be patronized. No opposi-
ton paper at this time can be kept up to
level with the Journal without heavier loss
to the publisher than many men would be
willing to bear. We acknowledge egotism.
