The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1862-07-24

Both of the above named papers will labor to
incueate, in dicatoral spirit sound political prn
cipes and to promote the material interests of the
State, and of the City of Portland its interests
Irvine with, and are nseparable from, those of the
State.
Politically, the Press win give earnest cordial
and generous support to the administration of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN, who in little more than year, has
indebly impressed himself upon the nations heart
an incorruptble patriot, infexible Chief Mag
istrate, and honest man. the ability of whose adj
ministraon is most signally exhibited, not only in
the matehless operations of army and navy, but
in the unparalleled fact that in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion, Government securities are
selling at premium. 1t will zealousy labor to ex-
hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and
inasmuch as political organizations have become
necessity in carrying into effect great principles of
political economy and inasmuch as the Republican
party which, in the brief chapter of its history already
written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its
enemies that its designs and tendencies were Sec
tional, and trinmphantly indicated its claim to
just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfst
in its devotion to the Union while other organizations
have generally become infected with a dsloval
spirit, and inasmuch ii is the only party which at
present seems competent to the great prin-
ciples underlying all free Governments, the PRESS
will cordially sustain the organization of that party
not with design TO foster mere partizan shirt but
in the full consciousness that II embodes the true
principles upon which our government rests and af
fords the only available means of aceomn,isbin snch
results as lofty patriotism imperatively demands
1t will neither seeknor endorse any COMPROMISES
with men in rebellion against the laws of the land
but will nculcate loyalty the great central idea of
