DAILY PRESS q !,
an
A Paper Enlarged to the size ofthe largest
New England Dailies.

New England Dailies.
The enlargement Of ppr daily edition il equivalent
to the addition ofibetweenthree and fonr columns to
Its size. nThfs addihbh space will be devoted to de-
tails OF events, which we have heretofore
been obliged 10 give in brie and to selections from
current literature, grave Oh gay such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
-Wkat the character Of the paper thus enlarged viii
be, its past history will show. The PRESS was
tabshed primarily to represent the Republican parT

party of the State to remain voceess in this city,
The PRESS will continue to defend the principles of
the Liberal party Of America. The war has closed
one great cycle FL our national history-the cycle
during which aristocracy at the South and democra-
cy at the North grew up side by side, period of
jealousy and conflict resulting in appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy ofthe democratic prin
cple. We have entered state of transition, which
seems likely to prove longer than most of us antci
pated. The PRESS will insist upon settlement
which will secure the fruits of our victory. Nothing
is settled TIN II is settled right We must have de-
mocracy at the South as well as at the North-equal
rights for all secured by equal laws freedom of
speech, freedom of the press, impartial suffrage. OF
the profound convictions of the Republican party OF

The present year will probably witness the extern
sion Of the telegraph round the world The compile
ton OF that great enterprise will compel change,
which has already begun, in the management OF
newspapers. The leading features of the worlds
history WIKI be registered from day day by the
egraph. The expense of special dispatches from all
parts of the world will prove too great for single
newspapers, and correspondence will regain some
thing OF its old Importance. Newspaper associations
or news agents will assume the task of furnishing
the daily dispatches, while correspondents will fur
nish details explanations and illustrations, by mail
The Atlantic Telegraph has already DESTROYED the
system by which our foreign has for years been
furnished by steamer, and already the Tribune has
its special correspondents established in almost
every capital in Europe. We cannot rival the feats
New York jcurhatis but We must be governed by the
same considerations. q, s.rr &C go aa:io s35n
