49,
Both of the above named papers will labor to
incucate in no dictaora spirit sound political prin-
State, and of the City of Portland as its interests
Irvine with, and inseparabe 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 than one year, has
indelbly impressed himself upon the nations heart
as an incorruptibe patriot an infexible Chief Mag
istrate and an honest man; the ability of whose adj
minisration is most signaly exhibited, not only in
the matches operations of our army and navy, but
in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this
gigantic rebellion, our Government securities are
selling at premium 1t will zealously labor cx-
hbit and defend sound Republican principles and
nasmuch 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 triumphantly indicated its claim to a
just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast
in its devotion TO the Union while other organizations
have so generally become infected with a disloyal
spirit, and nasmuch is the only party which at
ciples underlying all free Governments, the PRESS
will cordially sustain the organization of that party
not with design to foster partizan spirit but
in the full consciousness that it embodies the true
principles upon which government rests and af
fords the only available means Of accomplishing such
results as lofty patriotism imperatively demands
1t will neither seek nor endorse any compromises
with men in rebellion against the laws of the land
but viii nculcate loyalty to the great central idea of
all true dcmocracy-that the majority must govern
Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery it
may be proper TO say, that while the PRESS will sane
ton no interference with the constitutional or legal
rights of loyal men, it will neither apologize for an
evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our
national character attempt TO resist the tide of
events that destined to sweep from existence
an institution which is the greatest anomaly in free
government. The emancipation of slavery in the
federal Capital, the cooperation of the Federal with
the loyal State governments to gradual ema-
cipaton, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all
other constitutional looking to a peaceful
removal of greatest moral political and social
evil will find in the PRESS generous and hearty
support.
While thus distinctly announcing the general course
proposed for the PRESS and intending that alike in
war and in peacc-in countrys peril and in its
do not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon.
esty differed, and that, coming by different routes
they now find themselves travelling parallel roads;
and, instead of seeking to 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 will
be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best
interests of the city and State Its Local Depart
ment will in case be neglected Particular atten-
ton will be given to the Commercial and Maritime
interests II will be the aim of its conductors to make

ded energies to the work before Them and labor to

one that shall be true to the popular instincts.
