DAILY PRESS,
A Paper Enlarged 90 ihe size of,he largest
New England Dailies.

The enlargement Of our daily edition Is equivalent
TO the addition of between three and four columns to
its size. This additional space will be devoted to do
tails of important events which we have heretofore
been obliged to give i'm brief and TO selections nom
current literature, grave or gay, such as We have
lately been obliged ~ omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be, its past history will show. The PRESS was es-
tablished primarily to represent the Republican par
y Of Maine. 1t was impossible for the controlling
party Of the State to remain voieeless in this city
Inc PRESS will continue to defend the principles Of
inc Liberal party of America. The war has closed
vno great cycle in our national history-the cycle
uurns winch aristocraey at the South and democra-
ey At ''c North grew up side by side, a period Of
jealousy ana conflict resulting in an appeal TO arms
and tho VICTORIOUS supremacy the democratic prin-
cpe. we nave entered ON state Of transition which
seems likely to prove longer than most of us antici-
pated. The PRESS will insist upon a settlement
which will secure the fruits of victory Nothing
is settled till it ia settled right We must have de-
mocraey at the South as well as at tho North-equa
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
Maine, the PRESS will remain faithful exponent.
The present year will probably witness the extern
ton Of that great enterprise viii 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 te
egraph. The expense Of special dispatches from all
parts of tho 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 mall
The Atlantic telegraph has already destroyed ths
system by which our foreign news has for years been
furnished by steamer, and already the Tribune hes
its special correspondents established in almost
every capital in Europe. Wecenno rival the feats d
New York Journalism but we must be governed by tina
same considerations. In view OF the intimate rela-
tons existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vinces by which she ia snvironed, we arc happy to
announce that "SPURwINK's"
Canadian Letters
win be continued. We have also engaged
Regular Correspondents in Washing isn,
New York, Boston and Augusta,
and occasional correspondents at various point
throughout tho State. During the session OF tia
Legislature. we shall publish
Special Dispatches
from Augusta every morning, furnishing a synop-
sis Of the previous days proceedings. rr
To the people of Maine, and especially to peopls
who have business relations with Portland, we hops
to make the PRESS more valuable than any paper
published outside Of the State can possibly be- We
shall publish the same Geographic summary as other
New England newspapers We shall not publish
special dispatches from Washington, but We shall
have regular correspondence from that point, and
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 rom England. A weekly
Review of the Portland Markets,
w and an accurate
as Report of Maine shipping,
in foreign and domestic ports will be published ~
heretofore.
