In starting the PORTLAND DAILY Press the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
lieved 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 il
thus far afford the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
public demand. The PRESS has been in existence
but one year and a half, and though it was COM
menced with no previous canvassing, 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 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 a public ne
cessity by the loyal people of Maine.
Though the Press has had success far ex-
ceeding the most sangune 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 to 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
