As q Political Journal, the past course
Of the Press 10 a sufficient index to its flu
t.ire. Devoutly believing that Slavery is
everywhere and in ite very, nature hostile
to Free Government; that the Rebellion is
ats natural and necessary offspring; and
that the extinction, Of this anti Democratic
and anti National institution is an indis-
pensable condition ofsolid Peace or lasting
Union, the Press heartily approves and ear
uestly advocates all constitutional War Of
Civil measures looking to its entire extirpa-:
ton The triumphant issue of the recent
Presidential elections establishgd the assem-
dency Of these principles in the future po-
liticaf life OF the Republic. As the recog-
liked exponent Of: the idea and politics
which are 10 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 . period of singular interest,
when q first-vate Newspaper, conducted
upon sound political maxims, will be more
than ever necessity in every loyal hou4e-
hold. The rebellion which began with Mr..
Linco(n O. election in 1860. seems destined
to expire with his re-electionin 1864, aud
his FIRST term will be hardly more memora-
blefor the magnisude Of the military prob
lens encountered and solved, in subduiug
the rebellion, than win his second for the
grand political problems involved in. the
Paci6eation and Reconstruction of the in
surgent States. 1t is important that, the
journal which records the events IF the
next four wears should be a safe geide Of
political action. IT,;
The Tri- Weekly Press contains nearly all
the matter published in our Daily. and is
sheet, containing usually from
twenty-fonr to. thirty columns OF reading
matter. ..... f.;..>r 49,
The Weekly Press is confessedly the Best
Family Journal published in the State
containing all the news: Of the week, and
the choicest Literary Selections, Tales, Po-
ctry, Political Intelligence, Local News.

The great advance in the cost of compo-
sition, paper, aud all the materials employ |
ed in Observation-Disclosures Of q newspaper,
compelled a slight advance in our snbscrip-
ton price in August last; and though the
cos, Of publication, has greatly increased
since then, We sill adhere to the terms
then'annoxnced, which will be- found an
nexed.
