EEOPHE w G NTrIInI COM


Az Dover, the Capital of the State of Delaware.
HAVING been in successful operation since
n Il the lst of March, 1858, constantly increas-
ing in circulation, the REPORTER can no longer
be considered &c an airy nothing" but it has
won its way into popular favor and achieved for
itself ''a local habitation and a namc;'' and it
affords us much pleasure to announce that it is
now permanently and durably established, enjoy
ing large share of the patronage and the favor
of the People and the Democratic Party of
Delaware. Before the idea of the r EPoRTER
was entertained at all, we often expressed Won
der that there was no paper published at the
capital of the State and we felt sure that if one
were started here, it would, from its central
position, possess advantages over all other
papers i'll the State which none other could
equal; and, if judiciously and with enterprise
conducted, it would necessarily become
THE STATE PAPER.
When it fell to our lot, by solicitation, ready
encouragement and otherwise, to tempt trial
of the idea, we did SO; and the opinions we
then entertained have become u fired fact.
Success has been the reward Of all our efforts.
