THE ST. PAUL PRESS,

IdE 81. 5TAOo n000s
:: Daily, Trf-Weekly and Weekly,
7 S the only Union Journal at the capital
of the State, and enters its skitths Vol- :
ume with an established reputation as by
far the best newspaper published west OF Chi
cago II is sufficient proof OF the unri-
vailed and rapidly increasing popularity Of
the Press that in the short space ct four
years it has attained nearly treble the clrcu-
lation Of any other Newspaper published
in the S,ate-a fact of great importance to
advertisers This marvellol Is success is
owing not only to the fact that its political
sentiments are in harmony with those Of
the great majority Of the people, but TO its
great superiority over all its rivals in every
Department. Of newspa perintelligence, being
ALWAYS AHEAD IN NEWS,
And foremost in the discussion Of all sub
jects Of public interest, and in advocacy Of
all measures for the material Development
of the State. .---~-
1t has far more extensive and intelli-
gent War and State Correspondence than
any Minnesota journal, and better LEGAL
and Commercial Reporters and several
excellent Poetical and Literary contribu-
tors. 1t is, in short, 1 ~'..
The Best General Newspaper.
The Best State Newspaper.
The Best Local Newspaper.

Published in the State. And furthermore
the I,ess is n ucl, the largest Daily in Min
nosota, and publishes daily about one-thud
more Reading Matter than any other. 1t is

AS a Political Journal, the past course
of the Press is sufficient index to its fu-
ture. Devoutly believing that Slavery is
everywhere and in its very nature hostile
to Free Government that the Rebellion is
its natural and necessary offspring; and
that the extinction of this anti-Democratic
and anti National institution is an indis-
pensable condition of solid Peace or lasting
Union, the Press heartily approves and ear
nestly advocates all constitutional War Of
Civil measures looking to its entire extlrpa-
ton. rhe triumphant issue of the recent
Presidential elections established the assem-
dcncy of these principles in the future po-
li,ical life Of the Republic. As the recog-
nizei exponent Of the idea and politics
which are to control our State and Nation
al Administration. the Press may justly
anticipate large increase OF circulation
among the 25,OOO Union men of Minnesota
who have recently endorsed its principles
by their votes. We are about entering,
TOO, upon IL period of singular interest,
when irst-vate Newspaper, conducted
upon sound political ma ims. will be more
than ever a necessity in every loyal house
hold. The rebellion which began with Mr.
Lincoln election in 1860. seems destined
to expire with his reelection in 1864, aud
his first term will he hardly more memora-
hlc for the mayni- ude Of the military prob
Inns eucou, tc:ed and solved. in su',duirg
The rebellion. than will his second for the
grand political problems involved in the
FaciEcatiun and Reconstruction Of the iii
surgent States. 1t is important that the
journal which rec"rs:s the events Of the
mex, four years should he IL safe g:ide Of
oliticai action.
The Tri-Weekly Prs. contains nearly all

ma gnificeht she:'. containing usually from
twenty -four to tEi,1y columns of reading

The Weekly Press IS confessedly the Best
Family Journal published in tile State-
