Minnesota weekly times. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1859, 1855-06-12
ENLARGEMENT.

readers, THE DAILY ZINES appears before
them this morning in an enlarged form. This
is not of our own seeking, but that of our ad-
vertisers, who for the past two months have been
calling for more room, and at last though some
what reluctantly, we have obeyed their behests.
Wenow present our readers with the largest
Daily and Weekly paper printed in this Terrific
ry, and we are in hopes during the ensuing sea-
son, to add such features to our journal as will
make it second to no other paper this side Of
the Atlantic cities. - tl..r
We should indeed be ungrateful did we not
at this time cordially thank the people of Min
nesota, and especially the citizens of st. Paul
for the liberal manner in which they hnKe pat
ronized us, and the uniform kindne9y with
which we have been treated by them, although
we have had occasion to differ with many of
them on questions which were Of vital impor-
tance to the prosperity Of the Territory. We
feel very sure that that difference of opinion has
neither alienated their friendships nor warped
their prejudices, and if they have any inclina-
ton to continue with us in our journey, we will
endeavor TO regae the way with such inforina-
ton as will tend to benefit them and we trust
lead them to correct results, for we consider
Truth more potent than party or wealth, and
far more lasting than the deceptive bubbles Of
Falsehood. Our aim, our object is, to make
paper of which the citizens Of Minnesota may
we'll be proud, and we know of no way to do
this, but to pursue one path, and that path the
path of Right. This is the acme Of our aspi-
rations, for we long since learned that dabbling
in politics in Minnesota, requireda a conscience
composed Of more elastic elements than ours
possessed, and we have no particular desire,
therefore, to be hitched on to the tag-end Of any
party, Notwithstanding the principles of that
party may be in unison with olu own.
AS hitherto, we shall expose wrong where
ever it may exist believing that the interests of
the whole People is paramount to the interests
or ambition Of greedy politicians, and if we are
sustained in our course, as we believe we shall
be, political parties must and will become more
respectable, for as fast as Old, trickey, skulldug
gers are laid on the shelf, as some of them
have been and will be, new and better men
will take their places, and to this end, God
hasten the day.
1t will be observed that with our enlarge
ment we have added new and beautiful type,
both in our editorial and advertising columns,
and which we cannot but believe will be high
ly acceptable to our readers. The commercial
part Of our paper will receive greater attention
than hitherto, and with that industry which is
requisite for the success Of any enterprise, we
hope to continue the acquaintance Of our old
friends and to add some new ones
