PROSPECTUS.
The Portland Advertiser.

The .fbolitionists Of this State, uniting under
the auspices of the Abolition founders of the
Portland Daily Press, are making raid upon
the subscription list Of the Advertiser, because
the latter paper has ayowed its clear and un-
questionable opposition to .dbolitioRism as m
Administration Policy-in whatever form ap-
pearing, or from whatever source proceeding /;
and also, because the Advertiser ayows itself
the organ of Conservative Rspu6iieanism, as
contradistiuguished from abolition Rspubii-
canism. The Republican party has heretofore
known no occasion TO inquire who OF their
number are .f5olitioaisis, and who are Conssr-
ratirs Republicans; that the time has now
come to make this inquiry. and to take sides.
The total number Of .fboiitionists in Maine
Is not equal TO the one.i0urth part OF the sup
port OF a country newspaper. much less one in
volving the large expenditures Of city paper.
They are the intolerant little party in the I'M
ion, to which Congress referred In their resolves
of July, 1851, as being "those persons in the
North who are too insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention OF alarm
OF any portion Of the people OF the Republic"
But they are raving. intolerant, and hate the
Union as il is, and mean TO destroy Il.
II therefore becomes the friends Of Liberal
Principles, and Of an Independent Press, to
contribute each his means and influence to re.
sist the schemes Of Abolitionsts, at every point,
press through their intolerance 10 add tro On
return.
We ask all such friends of the course to
which the Advertiser is pledged, to do their
part to sustain the independence and loyalty to
the Constitution of the Advertiser. and have
one Republican press in Maine that ddrss to
oppose Abolitionism for the sake Of the Union.
A NEW FEATURE.
On and after the LIST Of January next, an edi-
ton of the Advertiser, on half sheet, will be
issued at noon, daily, ut tiro cents per copy. and
contain, phat no paper yet published at any
place has acknowledgements, by Telegraph,
Of the leading articles of the principal Morning
Papers in each Of the cities Of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and we hope to add, by
that time, Baltimore and the City Of Washing
ton These additions will be made as soon as
the Independent Line of Telegraph, now being
rapidly constructed from New York City to
Washington, and from Boston to Portland /,
shall have been completed. This will be almost
tantsmount to furnishing our readers. daily,
with a copy Of each Of those distant city pa
pers.
II will add several thousand dollars per an
nun to our expenses, and we trust generous
public will uphold the enterprise at least, We

It has become evident that, so far as

Pope's transfer here at this time is likely
% prove rather an injury to him than
otherwise IfStonewal jackson had re-
mained in the Valley, and if the disaster
bsfore Richmond had not overtaken US,
Pope TouldhRye had brilliant field. Com
bining the scattered forces Of the flock Of
Major Generals, he eonld have inaugurated
the offensive, driven Jackson to Richmond
OF surrender, cleared the Valley, and come
in in time to give Richmond the coup d.
grace and rob Mcclellan Of half the GLORY
Of its fall. Now everything is changed
and delayed by McCIelan's battles; his
plans are completely destroyed; his op-
portunity for an independent command
seems fading; and instead Of being
promptly in the field, he is still detained ia
Washington, and in consultation with the
War Department. At best the prospect be-
fore him now promises only a call TO- CD
operate with Mcclellan, joining him at
onee with forces by water, or in lieu Of
that, to wait here to defend Washington.
