The Portland daily press., 1862-07-29

The Press-What has been said Of IL.
1t is now day or two more than month
since the first number of the Portland Daily
PRESS was given to the public. Every day
we are asked what success it has met with, and
what are its prospects. We are gratified to be
able to say to those who take any interest in
its prosperity, as well as to those who would
probably shed no tears over its early death,
that the success of the enterprise thus far ex-
ceeds our most sanguine expectations, and
that its prospects are decidedly fattering.-
Without Boosting, we express it as our unqual-
flied and deliberate opinion, based on very sat
isfactory data, that already the readers of the
Press are as numerous as those of any morn
in daily in the city or State. We do not claim
that, in the limited period of one month, we
have secured as large list Of actual subscri-
bers some other papers may have, but in
this regard we do not believe the Press is far
behind, while in transient sales it is far ahead
of any other morning paper, and on its ratio
of weekly increase, we will bet large figure,
provided such game shall become legazed
by the moral and civil law givers. The first
day of January next, We have stented ourselves
to have list far outnumbering that Of any
other daily in the State, and with the assist
ance of kind friends ,ce ,ciu perform the
stent
To show the generous spirit in which our
new enterprise has been greeted by the press,
we copy below a few notices selected at ran
dom. On another occasion we will give another
instalment.
1t presents very neat typographical appear
ance-its Introductory, especially and other
editorials, are carefully written, and its gener-
al reading well selected and agreeable. The
Press, we learn, is TO be made one of the insti-
buttons of the city, and we suppose the espe-
cial institution of the Republican party -
Portland Courier.
The well known ability of its editorial corps
Is guaranty for the high character of the pa
per, which is well sustained by the initial num-
Der. 1t compares favorably with any daily in
New England, and we have no doubt win be
well sustained, although the enterprise is nee
essariy an expensive one. 1t has our best
wishes Bangor Wing.
In the whole arrangement of the paper there
are marked signs of talent and industry and the
enterprise exhibited in the number before is
enough to insure its success. In politics it will
be squarely Republican, and will give a warm
support to the present National Adminstra-
tion.-lSomerset Farmer.
The paper is of large size and is made up
with good taste and printed on new type. That
the Press Is ably conducted needs no other
guaranty than the names of the editors. A
glance over its well filled columns will give the
assurance that the Press is TO be "live" pa
per.-lHoulton Times.
THE DAILY PRESS is the name of a very
handsome and very excellent journal lust start
ed at Portland, Maine. John r. Gilman and
Joseph b. Hall are the editors 1t has those
peculiarities that promise long life and pros
perity, and we sincerely hope the promise will
be realized Worcester Spy.
1t is a large sheet, presents a fine appear
ance, and is filed with able and spicy matter.
Messrs. Gilman and Hall have had much expe-
rience as Editors and are distinguished as able
and brilliant writers. They cannot fail to make
their paper one OF the best.-[Gospel Banner.
The first issue gives marked proof of the
ability of the editorial corps. The salutatory
is conceived in Gilman's best vein, and his en-
ergy and versatility are stamped in unmistak-
able language on the well filed sheet. The
printer has done his part in excellent taste and
manner, and throughout the Portland Press
exhibits enterprise and determination. In
politics it will be Republican, and give cor
uidi support 10 Nalioudi
