PROSPECTUS.
The Portland Advertiser.

The .abolttionists Of this State, uniting under
the auspices of the Abolition founders Of the
Portland Daily Press, are making raid upon
the subscription list of the Advertiser, because
the latter paper has avowed its clear and un-
questionable opposition to .abolitionism as IN
Administration Policy-in whatever form ap-
pearing, or from whatever source proceeding (;
and also, because the Advertiser ayows itself
the organ of Conservative Republicanisni, as
contradistiuguished from abolition Repnbii-
canism. The Republican party has heretofore
known no occasion to inquire who OF their
number are .abolitionists, and who are Conser-
patire Republicans; that the time has now
come TO make this inquiry, and to take sides.
The total number of .dboliiionisis in Maine
Is not equal to the one.fourth part OF the sup
port of country newspaper. much less one in
yolying the large expenditures Of city paper.
They are the intolerant little party in the Un-
ion, to which Congress referred in their resolves
of July, 1861, as being "those persons in the
North who are too insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention or alarm
of any portion of the people OF the Republic"
But they are raving, intolerant, and hate the
Union as IL is, aud mean to destroy It..
II therefore becomes the friends OF Liberal
Principles, and of an Independent Press, to
contribute each his means and influence to re-
sist the schemes of Abolitonists, at every point,
and for every subscriber withdrawn from such
o press through their intolerance to add fro On
return.
We ask oil such friends of the course to
which the Advertiser Is pledged, to do their
part to sustain the independence and loyalty to
the Constitution of the Advertiser. and have
one Republican press in Maine that ddres to
oppose Abolitionism for the sake Of the Union.

the Independent Line of Telegraph, now being
rapidly constructed from New York City to

tantamount to furnishing our readers, daily,
