Inc foRTLAND DAILY fREss Is intended to be
an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning
Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail
and telegraph.
THE MAINE STATE PRESS
Is a large, well-fled, carefully edited. and neatly
printed reeky paper, intended specially for general
circulation throughout the State.
Both Of the above named papers will labor to
incucate in dicaforal spirit sound political prin-
cpes and to promote the material interests of the
State, and of the City Of Portland its interests
twinc with, and are inseparabe 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 little more than one year. has
indebly impressed himself upon the nations heart
as an incorruptibe patriot, inncxible Chief Mag
istrafe, and an honest mani the ability of whose ad.
ministraton is most signally exhibited, not .only in
the matchless operations of 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 zealousy labor to cx-
hibit and defend sound Republican principles and,
inasmuch as political organizations have become

Pohucai ctouoin9s anu inA-uucu as .tuc Republican
party which, in the brief chapter of its history already
written, has successfully rcfated the allegation Of its
enemies that its designs and tendencies were Sec
tional, and triumphantly vindicated its claim to
just and liberal Nationality has remained steadfst
in its devotion to the Union while other organizations
have so generally become infected with disloyal
spirit and inasmuch it Ia 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 partizan spirit but
in the full consciousness that 1t embodies the true
principles upon which government rests and af.
fords the only available means Of accomplishing such
results as loffy patriotism imperatively demands
1t will neither seek nor endorse any compromises
with men in rebellion against the laws Of the land
but will nculcate loyalty to the great central idea of
all true democracy-that the majority must govern
Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery II
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 foulcst blot upon our
national character attempt to resist the tide of
events that seems destined to sweep from existence

government. The emancipation Of slavery in the
federal Capital the cooperation of the Federal with
cipaton as proposed by President Lincoln, and all
other constitutional measures looking to peaceful
removal Of greatest moral, political and social
evil" win 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 peace-in country's peril and in its
triumph, il shall speak with uncertain voice, we
do not lose sight Of the fact that true have hon.
estly differed, and that, coming by different routes
they 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 be neglected. Particular atfcn-
