ENLARGEMENT OF THE DAILY EX-
PRESS

ENLARGEMENT OF THE DAILY EX-
PRESS.
We present to our readers, this evening, the
Daily Express. greatly enlarged and improved
The Express is now the largest daily sheet pub
lished in the state, and in mechanical beauty,
will vie with any paper published in the North
West. We have m,de such arrangements
East, North and South, as to give our readers
the benefit Of the latest news and the most en-
ter'aining gossip,and we may confidently assure
them that no pains viii be spared to render the
Express, what we feel assured it always has
been. an acceptable evening visitor.
Having obtained for the present the services
of Capt. Z. Vanmetre, who is gentleman of
high character and atlainments, to aid us in the
editorial management of the paper; of gentle.
man, who has no superior in the West as Fore
man and Andrew keesecker, who has wide
reputation as a mechanic and especially as a
FRESHMAN, we can assure this public that there
will be no efforts left untried, to make the Daily
Miners Express superior in political, commercial
and miscellaneous matter and in mechanical ex-
ecution, to any journal in the State.
The rapidly increasing settlement and pros
perity of our young state and the growing im-
provements and business of our City, elciting
as they do, the attention and admiration of a
| large class of strangers and commanding an
envlable notoriety abroad, are to a considerable
extent, due to the untiring tf,rts and assiduity
of the journalists of the State. As an obscure
and modest member of the profession, we claim
nothing for the part we have acted in this glori-
Gus field of honorable toll, because we have
but discharged simple duty we owed to the pub
lie; and, in faithfully and boldly discharging
that duty, if we have been placed in positions of
antagonism to any considerable portion of our
fellow citizens all desire or expect, is, that
the same degree of mognanimity may be extern
ded to us in the enunciation of opinions honest
| ly entertained, that we cAeerfully accord to
| others. All cannot agree in opinion. Some
view things through one medium of thought
and some through another, while both classes
are equally sincere aud DESTROYS of arriving at
correct conclusions. 1t is honorable to differ in
opinion, and it is but justice to respect that DIFF
ference. What has been substantially our
course heretofore, will be our course hereafter.
The improvements which we have made in our
sheet and the additional reading matter which
we propose to supply regularly, have involved
an outlay of considerable means, w hch W trust
will be appreciated by the public and come
| back to us in the shape ofinereased subscriptions
and advertising patronage.

or return the paper to the carrier a. he passes
In this eonnecton we may remark, that CON-
plants have come to our knowledge, that our
carrier fails to leave the papers regularly This
shall be remedied just soon as we can procure
an other person TO discharge this duty, which

To those who are anxious to extend their
business by advertising, we would recommend
to them the enlarged Daily Miners Expressl
Too many fortunes have been made BY adverti-
sing, to justify doubt among sagacious business
men, that whatever is expended in this way, is
judiciously invested. 1t is the medium, and al.
most the only medium, by which the Merchants
of the East and South, are brought in connec-
ton with the Merchants of this City, and the
