In starting the PORTLAND DAILY Press the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
lieyed to be demand of the loyal public senti-
ment of the State, and the generous reception
which it has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniformly attended it
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not mscons.rue the
public demand. The Pass has been in existence
but one year and half, and though it was com
menced with no previous canyassing, and with
the field, to a superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history it has
gained a circulation never before attained by any
daily paper in the State, and hold upon pub
lie confidence and respect most encouraging TO
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such paper as shall be deemed public ne
cessty by the loyal people of Maine.
Though the PREss has had a success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ac-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
improvement have come 10 the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though it may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbitant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie
tors have long felt that it is far short of what
leading journal in the commercial and financial
center of the State should be; and that the en-
terprisc, the wealth, the public spirit and the
asst increasing population of Portland demand
and should therefore sustain, such efforts as are
necessary to make paper commensurate with
the growing importance and commanding posi-
ton of their city.
The Business of this city should demand much
more space for its advertisement than her num-
erous merchants and manufacturers have as yet
claimed for its accommodation; while the great va
riety andimportanceof the news of theday-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atiyely calls for more attention than the patron
age actually enjoyed by any paper in the State
would justify bestowing upon it. The Proprie-
tors Of TIE PREss, reposing implicit trust in the
good sense aud the liberality of the people of

terprises having for their object the promotion of

The French PrOtectOrate Over
CambOdia.

The French journals have given us very scanty
information about the doings OF their military
forces and d~iplomatists in Cochin China during
the lasr three wears. We have been told that
China for insults or violence offered 10 some Cath
Ole missionaries of French birth and that salts
faction was not given and that the French troops
took Saigon, the principal port of the country.
and that a French colony was established there.
These statements cover nearly ali the main points
of the information laid before US.
By late advices we learn that peace has been
concluded, that the Emperor Napoleon has
assumed a prutectorate over CaLlbOdia. and that
he has declared his intention OF building up a
nucleus there for French influence and military
power. We may Justly presume that the pro-
tectOrate over Canbodia will be similar to chat
over the Society Islands the native Princes will
retain their titles and nominal power 50 long as
they pay obedience to the orders OF the French
Governor.
Our knowledge of Cochin China, which in
cludes CambOdia, Is limited. The country has been
closed against Europeans, or has offered fewer
attractions 10 traders and missionaries than China
and other neighbOring lands. The people are not
So intelligent, or 50 skillful in the mechanic arts,
as the Chinese their territory is much smaller,
and their trade and wealth less. But then, Cochin
ChIna had the advantage of presenting a field for
French conquest without Interfering with the
trade of Great Britain or the United States.

France has now three colonies in the Pacific

not To French colonies. SO it has been in the
past So it will probably be in the future. Until

A Happy Home.

tant era in the history of man and wife. Gene

late their views and their desires. or else, conjur-

animosities forever afterwards.

Wise, in his Bridal Greetings, ''ofa bridegroom
who gloriei in his eccentricities. He requested
his bride to accompany him into the garden, q
day or two after their wedding. He then drew
a line over the roof of their cottage. Giving his
wife one end of it he retreated to the other side,
and exclaimed
Pull the line
u can't, she replied.
d" But pull with all your might still shouted
the whimsical husband.
But in vain were all the efforts of the bride TO
pull over the line, Sd long as her husband held
the opposite end. But when he came round, and
they pulled 1T the same end, it came over with
great ease
:. There - as the line fell from the roof, :. YOU
see how hard and Intellectual was our labor when
we pulled in opposition 10 each other but how
easy and pleasant 1t was when We pulled to-
gethcr, 1t will be so with US through life.
In this illustration, homely as it may be,
there is sound philosoI by. Husband and wife
must mutually bear and concede, if they wish to
make home q retreat of JOY and bliss. One
alone cannot make home happy. There needs
unison of action, sweetness OF spirit and great
fOrbearance and love in both husband and wife,
to secure the great end of happiness in the do
nestle circles.
Home Is no unmixed paradise of sweets; the
elements of peace and true happiness are there,
and SO, too, are the elements of discord and
misery ; and it needs only the bitter spirit of the
world without TO make 1T a pandemonium. or
the loving genius of harmony TO make it the
prOmpter of every atiectionare impulse
