THE MAINE STATE PRESS
Is large well-flled. carefully etted. and neatly
printed eey paper intended. specially for general
circulation throughout the State.
Both of the above named papers will labor to
nculcate in dctatoria spirit sound political prin-
cples and to promote the material interests of the
State, and of the City of Portland as its interests
Irvine with, and inseparable from, those of the
State.
Politically, the PRESS will give earnest, cordial
and generous support to the administration OF ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, who in little more than one year. has
ndelliby impressed himself upon the nations heart
as an incorruptible patriot infexble Chief Mag
strate, and an honest man; the ability of whose adj
minisration is most signaly exhibited, not Iony in
the matchless operations of our army and navy but
in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion, Government securities are
selling at premium. 1t will zealously labor to ex-
hbit 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 rs the Republican
party which, in the brief chapter of its history already
written has successfully refued the allegation of its
enemies that its designs and tendencies were Sec
tional, and triumphantly indicated its claim to q
just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast
in its devotion to the Union while other
have SO generally become infected with disloyal
spirit and nasmuch it is 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 mere partizan spirit but
in the full consciousness that it embodies the true
principles upon which our government rests. and af
fords the only available means of accomplishing such
results a lofty patriotism imperatively demands
