Enlargement, of the Union and Journal,

We have made arrangements for the enlarge
ment Of the Union and Journal, to take effect
the 81 week in May. The added size to be
given to the paper will be equal to about six Of
Its present columns.
Several reasons have concurred to induce us
to incur the expense of the change. which will
add several hundreds Of dollars annually to the
expense o. its publication, prominent among
which is the desire we have to give our readers
. Ct, alter amount Of political and miscellaneous
reading. The near approach Of the canvass for
the Presidency has brought with il an earnest
desire on our part, to give our readers oil the
political intelligence in our power to circulate.
In the great struggle, over the threshold OF
which the country is about crossing, we have
an interest greater than we have ever felt in
any preceding contest. We believe that the
safety and prosperity of our country and the
permanence of Its free institutions. can only be
preserved through the speedy ascendancy Of
republican ideas in the administration of our
government; and we mean to do what lies in
our power to convince the people Of the cor
rectness Of republican views, and to urge them
to their practical enforcement through the
ballot boxes. Strange and startling doctrines,
atwar with the fundamental principles on which
our government is based, are promulgated by
. Sham Democracy whose leaders defantly
dscaretkai IL the will ofthe people, as expressed
through the ballot boxes, does not accord with
their wishes. they will light the torch Of civil
war, and discover the Union. We wish for
more space to give the people information of
the purposes of these consplrators against the
peace and safety the Union. Privileged
classes not content with the unequal adyanta-
ges which the constitution now gives them in
representation, are demanding new concessions
and privileges unheard of before in the history
Of the country. and calling for the exercise of
political duties as repugnant to common
humanity as they are subyersiye Of the spirit
and letter Of the organic law OF the government,
and We want wider margin to give the public
information Of the scope OF these demands, and
the nature Of these prcposterous demands Of
the privileged classes.
We have also desire to make the Union
and Journal equal in sire, rs well rs in other
particulars, to the papers published in the larger
towns and cities Of our State. Tho business Of
our place. which was depressed for several
years. has become active again, and with this
increase. has naturally come a larger demand
on our columns for advertising. to NEE. which
