PORTLAND.
BY N. A. FOSTER q CO.,
J. 7. GILMAN. Editor.

In starting the PORTLAND DAILY PRRss the
Proprietors were influenced by what they be-
heyed 10 be n demand of the LOYAL public septi-
ment Of the State, and the generous reception
which 1t has met with, and the unexpected meas
ure Q. success which has uniformly attended it
thus FAR, AFFORD the most satisfactory evidence to
the proprietors that they did not misconstrue the
pubic demand. The Press has been in existence
out one year and a half, and though it was COM
meneed with no previous canvassing, and with
the neid, to superficial Observer fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedenss, 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 aud respect most encouraging IN
the propretors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants BY max
ing such paper a. shall be deemed public ne
eessity by the loyal people Of Maine.
Though the Pass has had a success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations Of its
projectors, and though comparatively few SUBJ
scribers have been heard to complain of its ae-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
Improvement have come to the notice of its pro-
prietors, and though il may have been all they
could afford to make il 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-
terprise, the wealth, the public spirit and the
asst increasing population of Portland demand.
uad 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 aayerfisemsnf than her num-
crous merchants and manufacturers have as vet
claimed for its accommodation; while the great va
riety and importance OF the news of the day-For-
eign and Domestic, Civil and Military -imper-
atively calls for more attention than the patron
age actually enjoyed BY any paper in the State
would Justify bcstowing upon IT, The Proprie-
tors Of the PaKss reposing implicit trust in the
good sense and the liberality Of the people Of
Maine, 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

MONMOUTH, Ill, Oct. 21.
G. L. Vallandigham, in his speech at
Monmouth to-day, made substantially the
following statement:
"The Democratic party are in favor Of
reconstruction of the Union on the basis of
the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of
I79s, Estate Governments. We are op-
posed to eertrGLisation of po,0eT IN one Gov
ernn1ent extending from tie Attantie to the
Pdcltie, which would be one of the worst
despotisms on earth. We are in favor Of
reconstruction of the Union on the priuci-
pie of State Sovereignty, Gth0 same as the
Montgomery Rebel Constitution. AND
HENCE WE STRUCK OUT OF THE CHICAGO
PLATFORM THE IDEA OF A RESTORATION
OF THE UNION ON THE BASIS OF THE tsD-
ERAL UNION OF THE STATES, and inserted
in lieu thereof, upon the basis of the Fed
eral States
This is substantially his statement, and
very nearly his exact language, as can be
proven by large number OF intelligent
witnesses of both parties and the statement
win not probably be denied. took care
to compare my understanding OF the state
men with that OF number of others of
both parties, at tho time, and found that
we all understood him alike.

The Growing Peace Sentiment in the
south.


The Growing Peace Sentiment in the
south.
1t is becoming daily more evident that
there is in existence in the rebel states q
growing desire for peace which will ripen
rapidly into a readiness to submit
to the authority of the Government
whenever the people shall be freed from
the terrible despotism of the rebel armies.
There is not, in our estimation, the least
doubt that the people of the South, wearied
out with this cruel war, would gladly re
sumo their places In the Union if the rebel
armies were once disorganized. The evid-
ences Of this growing desire for Peace, are
found in the fact that the fierce extremists
Of South Carolina, hnd it necessary to at
tempt to check its progress. The letters of
Stevens and Boyce, both Of which indicate
readiness for reconstruction, are condemned
by the Charleston Mercury as presaging
still stronger desire for peace and reunion.
The si-- s,o9anA-s zhn issued their manifes-
to declaring that they must stand by the
rebellion. virtually admitted the weakness
of their cause. The Alabama Legislature,
summoned together in special session to
provide means for the defense of the state,
qoted that if any citizens of that state
should be unjustly pressed into the rebel
service, the irnpressing agent should be
punished with death. These are all good
symptoms ofthe coming downfall Of the
rebellion.

The r.be1 rhnnLsrtrInr psr.

JEFF Davis has appointed the 18th day Of
November SIS day f.r the thanksgiving Of
the people of the Confederate States of
America" He is constrained to call upon
the people in view of the Hmany signal vic.
tories" with which his arms have been
crowned, by which We presume he means
those he has recently achieved in the
Shenandoah, at Atlanta, south of Peters
burg, and in Mobile Bay. The rebels are
next TO be thankful afor the fruitful fields
with which they have bees blessed" and
finally because 'tHe has inspired our hearts
and strengthened our arms in resistance
to the iniquitOus designs of our enemies"
We fear that Mr.. Jefferson Davis has
mistaken the inspiration of the devil for
that from above and mistakes the amount
of strength and Inspiration which yet ami
mate the people of the South. His recent
confessions at Macon put the lie upon the
professions he makes in his Proclama-
tion.
We think the 10th of November will be
a suitable day for the people of the South.
They can then give thanks for the reelec-
tion of Abraham Lincoln, and for suudry
victories, which may be achieved before
that time by Sherman, Grant, Sheridan
and Admiral Porter. All these they may
be devoutly thankful for as promising their
speedy delivorance from the despOtism Of
this same Davis.

FROM REV. JOHN MOTT, l
ProrEssoR @rs UNION Co11Eer, soursrorlDT.

Since I first publicly acknowledged the
great benefit which I received from the
skillful treatment of DIR. Lighthill, in re-
gard to my hearing, letters of inquiry have
incesssntly poured upon me from all parts
OF the country from parties desiring to
learn the particulars of my case, and 1 am
indeed surprised at the number of individ-
uals who are affected similar to the manner
in which have been, and therefore feel it
more and more sacred duty which 1 owe
to those sufferers, to direct them to proper
and reliable source to obtain the benefit
they SO much covet, and which so many af-
licted ones have hitherto sought in vain,
just as I had done previous to applying to
DR.. Lighthiu.
I had had from infancy one very deaf
ear which always discharged more or less
offensive matter, and was the source of the
greatest annoyance and discomfort to me.
Last year the other ear also became dis
essed, and both ears discharged a yellow
matter, very profuse and highly offensive.
My hearing became very much impaired
and the discharge produced the greatest
debility of both mind and body and de-
preston of spirits. applied tony family
physician and other practitioners without
deriving any benefit and almost despaired
of being restored to health, when provi-
dentially, I applied to DR.. LighthiIl. |
Under his treatment my ears began to i'm
prove at once, and continued to do so, IN
til, in a comparative short time, both ears
were healed, the discharge removed, and
my hearing restored. At first 1 feared the
cure would not be permanent, or that the
stoppage of discharge of so long standing
might prove detrimental to my general
health, fear which find a great many
in regard to the removal of dis
charge from the ear. My experience, how
9ver, has proved cOnclusively that my ap-
7rehensiOns were entirely groundless in
10Th respects, for both ears are as well, and
ny hearing as good at present, as the day
left off treatment, and the stoppage of
he discharge, instead of proving detrimen-
al to my health, has given me the highest
lastieity and vigor of body, and flow of
pirits not experienced for a long time
revious.
I wish the above statement might serve
general answer to those interested, but s
lould ono or the other desire to applv to
ie personally or by letter, 1 will cheer
lily satisfy all reasonable demands upon A
y time.
I avail myself of this opportunity of c
yain pablicly expressing my deeply felt
attitude to DR.. Lighthill, whom esteem :
gentleman and man of science, in
HON the highest confidence msy be
aeed.

that Lincoln would be elected by a great
