DAILY PRESS,
A Paper Enlarged to the size ofthe largest
New England DaiIies.

| A Paper Enlarged to the size Ofthe largest
New England DaiIies.
The enlargement of daily edition is equivalent
to the addition of between three and four columns to
its size This additional space will be devoted 10 de-
tails of important events, which have heretofore
been obliged to give in BRIEF and to selections from
current literature, grave or gay, such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be, its past history viii show. The PRESS es-
tablshed primarily to represent the Republican par
ty of Maine 1t was impossible for the controlling
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 in 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 an appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy of the democratic prin
cipe. We have entered a 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 till it is settled right We must have de-
mocracy at the South 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
tisn of that great enterprise win compel change
which has already begun, in the management OF
newspapers. The leading features of the worlds
history will be registered from day day by the tel
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
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 news has for years been
furnished by steamer, and already the Tribune has
its special correspondents established in almost
every capital in Europe. We sannot rival the feats
New York Journalism but must be governed by the
same considerations. In view of the intimate rela-
tons existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vinces by which she is environed, we are happy to
announce that /" SPURwINK's''
Canadian Letters
Will be continued We have also engaged
Regular Correspondents in Washing ton,
tE New York, Boston ana Augusta,
and occasional correspondents at various points
Legislature, we shall publish at s.s 47
Special Dispatches
from Augusta every morning, furnishing a synop-
sis of the previous days proceedings.
To the people of Maine, and especially to people
who have business relations with Portland, we hope
to make the PRESS more valuable than any paper
published outside Of the State possibly be. We
shall publish the same telegraplic summary as other
New England newspapers. We shall not publish
special dispatches from Washington, but we shall
have regular correspondence from that point, and a
Daily Summary of Maine News
which readers here would be sorry to miss. We
shall have
Full and Accurate Market Reports,
forwarded by telegraph from al parts of the United
States from Canada and from England. A weekly
Review of the Portland Markets,
and an accurate "a ,us
a Report of Maine Shipping,
in foreign and domestic ports, will be published
heretofore.
