The PORTLAND DAILY Press Is intended to be
enterprising vigorous and lire Daily Morning
Paper containing the latest and fullest news by mail
and telegraph.
THE MAINE STATE PRESS
Is large. wel-flled carefully edited, and neatly
printed weekiy paper intended specially for general
circulation throughout the State
Both of the above named papers will labor to
inculcae in dictatorai spirit sound political prn-
cplcs and 10 promote the material interests Of the
State and of the City of Portland as hs interests
twine with, and are nseparable 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
indelibiy impressed himself upon the nations heart
As incorruptble patriot, infexible Chief Mag
istrate, and honest man; the ability Of whose ad-
niiuistfutcu B mo>t 1kuuIfy cxHiute0, not only IN
the matchiess 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 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 4he 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 vindicated its claim to q
just and liberal Nationality has remained sfeadfhst
in its devotion to the Unonwhle other organizations
have SO generally become injected with . disloyal
spirit, and inasmuch II Is the only party which ct
present seems competent to conserve the great prn-
cipcs 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 1t embodies the true
principles upon which government rests, and AZ
fords the only available means Of accomplishing such
results as LOFTY patriotism impcrstivcly demands
1t will neither seek endorse any compromises
with men in rebellion against the laws Of the land
but viii nculcate loyalty to the great central idea Of
al true democracy-that the majority must govern.
Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, IL
may be proper say, that while the PRESS will sane
hon nv Win cODstltutIuuul OF regal
rights Of loyal men. 1t will neither apologize for an
evil which constitutes the foulcst blot upon our
national character attempt resist the tide Of
events that seems destined 10 sweep from existence
an institution which Is the greatest anomaly in free
government. The emancipation of slavery i'm the
federal Capital the cooperation Of the Federal with
the loyal State governments secure gradual eman-
cipatiou. as proposed by President Lincoln, and all
other constitutional looking to q peaceful
removal Of greatest moral political and social
evil, win find in the PRKss generous and hearty
support
While thus distinctly announcing the general course
proposed for the Press and intending that, alike in
war and in peaee-in our eountrys peril and In its
triumph, II shall speak with no uncertain voice. we
do not lose sgnt 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 dill rsnces be-
tween these who required by q common patriot
ism to act in concert the PRKss will labor hopefully
to encourage unity Of purpose and harmony Of act
