The Portland daily press., 1862-06-30


State. and of the City Of Portland its interests
twine with, and inseparable from. those Of the
State.
Politically, the Press will give an earnest cordial
and generous support to the administration of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, who in Rtle more than one year, has
indebly impressed hi11self upon the nations heart
an incorruptibe pasret, inneSible Chief Mag
istrate and honest tim the ability of whose ad.
ministraon is most d aally exhibited, not ,ony in
the matchess operatiosSof our army and navy. but
in the unparalleled fx that, in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion out Government securities are
selling at premium. il viii zcalously labor to ex-
hibit and defend sou4 Republican principles, and,
inasmuch political ssxanizations have become
necessity in carrying Fslo effect great principles of
political economy, and inasmuch the Republican
party which, in the brchaper of its history already
written, has successfully rented the allegation of its
enemies that its desias and tendencies were Sec
tional, and triumphanay vindicated its claim to a
just and liberal Natiohality, has remained steadfast
in its devotion to the Jon while other organizations
have so generally become infected with disicyal
spirit. and inasmuch aG1t II the only party which at
present seems compete9to conserve the great prin-
cipes underlying all re Governments the PREss
will cordially sustain te organization of that party
not with design to ater partizan spirit but
in the full coniciousntss that it embodes the true
principles upon which<our government rests and af.
fords the only ayaabf means of accomplishing such
results as lofty patlptism imperatively demands.
1t will neither seek endorse any compromises
with men in rebellion against the laws of the land
but will inculcate loyas to the great central idea Of
all true democracy-th&t the majority must govern.
Upon the exciting question Of Domestic Slavery it
may be proper to say eat while the PREss wl sanc-
ton no interference WI the constitutional o. legal
rights of loyal men. Pill neither apologize for IN
evil which constituted the fouiest blot upon our
national character, nd attempt to resist the tide of
events that seems destncd to sweep from existence
an institution which ske greatest anomaly in free
government. The emancipation of slavery in the
federal Capital the cooperation of the Federal with
the loyal State governqens, to gradual
cpation, as proposed ~ President Lincoln, and all
other constitutional Measures looking to peaceful
removal of our creates moral, political and social
evil" will find in the PREss a generous and hearty
support.
While thus distinctly announcing the general course
proposed for the PRESS and intending that alike in
war and in peace-in our country's peril and in vs.
triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, "a
do not lose sight of the fact that true haze hon.
estly differed, and that, coming by different routes
they now find themselves travelling parallel roads;
and instead of seeking 10 widen the differences be-
tween those who are required by common patriot
ism to act in concert the PRESS will labor hopefully
to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act
ion amoug all loyal men.
Aside from its political department the PRESS win
be earnestly devoted TO the advancement of the best
interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart.
ment will in be neglected. Particular atien-
ton will be given to the Commercial and Maritime
interests II will be the aim of its conductors make
it an indispensable institution Of the State, and ge-
nia and welcome visitor in every workshop, count

known TO the people of Maine. will give their undvi-
ded energies to the work before them. and labor to
make such paper the city of Portland the State

one that shall be true to the popular instincts.
