In starting the PORTLAND DAILY PREss the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
lieved to be demand of the loyal public septi-
lhent OF the state, anu the generous reception
which it has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure of success which has uniforaly attended Il
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence 10
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and half, and though it was COM
menced with no previous canvassing, and with
the field, to 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 apv
daily paper in the State, and a hold upon pub.
lie confidence and respect most encouraging to
the psoprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such paper as shall be deemed public ne
cessity by the loyal people of Maine
Though the Press has had 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 it.
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 patroaage yet the proprie
tors have long felt that it Is far short of what
leading journal in the commercial and financial
oeheei vi ,he cthte shodiu be; anu that the en-
terprise, the wealth, the public spirit and the
ast increasing population of Portland demand,
dnds 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 forits accommodation while the great va
rlety and importance of the news of the eday-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atiyeiy 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 the Pass, reposing implicit trust in the
good sense and the liberality of the people of
Name, and their willingness TO sustain all en-
terprises having for their object the promotion of
our common veal, hope the day is not far dis
tant when they may, with full confidence in sue
cess, make
