The Portland daily press., 1862-06-27

Both of the above named papers will labor to
incucate in dicaoral spirit sound political prin.
cipcs and to promote the material interests of tho
State, and of the City of Portland rs its interests
twine with, and are inseparable FROM those Of tho
State.
Politically the PRESS win give an earnest cordial
and generous support to the administration of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, who In little more than one year, has
indeibly impressed himself upon the nations heart
as an incorrupble patriot, inhexible Chief Mag
israte, and an honest man; the ability Of whose ad-
ministraton is most sgnally exhibited not Ionly in
the matchless operations of army and navy, but
in the unparalleled fact that in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion our Government securities are
selling at premium. 1t will zealously labor to cx.
hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and
inasmuch as political organizations have become a
necessity in carrying into effect great principles of
political economy, and inasmuch as the Republican
party which, in the brief chapter of history already
written has successfully refutod the allegation of its
enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec-
tonal, and triumphanty ivindicated its claim to q
just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast
In Its devotion to the Union while other organizations
have SO generally become infected with a disloyal
spirit and inasmuch ia the only party which at
present seems competent to conserve the great prn
ciples underlying all free Governments the PREss
will cordially sustain the organization of that party
not with design to foster partzan spirit but
in the full consciousness that it embodies the true
principles upon which government rests, and af
fords the only available means of accomplishing such
results as q lofty patriotism imperatively demands
1t will neither seek nor endorse any compromises
with men in rebellion against the laws of the land
but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of
all true democracy-fhat the majority must govern.

may be proper to say, that whilc the PRESS will sane
ton interference with the constitutional or legal
rights of loyal men, it will neither apologize for an
evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our
national character, attempt to resist the tide of
events that seems destined to sweep from existence

government. The emancipation of slavery in the
federal Capital, the cooperation of the Federal with
the loyal State governments, to gradual eman

other constitutional measures looking TO peaceful
removal OF our greatest "mora political and social
evil" will find in the Press generous and hearty
support.
While thus distinctly Announcing the general course
proposed for the PREss and intending that alike in

do not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon.
