The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1862-07-30

Both of the above named papers will labor to
ncucate in dictaoral spirit sound political prin-
ciples and to promote the material interests of the
State, and of the City of Portland as its interests
Irvine with, and inseparable 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
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
ministration is most signally 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, 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 a
necessity in carrying into effect great principles of
political economy, and inasmuch the Republican
party which, in the brief chapter Oft 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
just and liberal Nationality, has remained seadfast
in its devotion to the Union while other organizations
have so generally become infected with disloyal
spirit, and inasmuch it is the only party which at
present seems competent to the great prn-
cipes 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 our government rests and af-
fords the only available means of accommodated, s,,,
results as lofty patriotism imperatiyely demands
1t will neither seek nor endorse any comnromisos
with men in rebellion against the laws of the land.
but will incucae loyalty to the great central idea of
all true democracy-that the majority must govern.
