DAILY PRESS,
A Paper Enlarged to the size ofthc 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 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 will show. The PRESS was 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
and the victorious supremacy Of the democratic prin
ciple. We have entered state of transition, which
seems likely to prove longer than most of antici
pated. The PRESS will insist upon q settlement
which will the fruits of our victory Nothing
is settled till it 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
Maine, the PRESS will remain faithful exponent.
The present year viii 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 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
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 news 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

same considerations. arnf,. tL

Let Us See.

If the rebels of Tennessee-that is the
only name they are known by in Radical
circ,es-should withdraw all their candi-
dates and retire from the field, how long
would the white and black Radicals work
tremendously together The condition
would be this The black Radicals would
poll all the votes, and the white Radicals
would hold all the offices. How long
would the black Radicals stand this How
long would they consent to remain the vot-
ing slaves of just enough white Radicals
to hold all the Offices, and eat all the Off
cial pie If the combined white and
black Radicals shall elect the next legisla-
ture, we assert as our belief, that that
body will not so change the law as to allow
the black Radicals to hold Office. We
also predict, that, in an event so unjust to
the black Radicals, they win denounce the
white Radicals, accuse them of trsachery,
turn away from them in disgust, and go
over to the rebels. The rebels remaining
neutral, war of races between the white
and black Radicals, would inevitably en-
sue. Both parties would then turn to the
rebels and offer them the ballot We should
then see the term ''rebel." dropped like a
tolerably hot potatoe, and an epithet cover
ed all over with honey substituted. The
character of the appeals to the rebels by
the two parties, would bequite different
The white Radicals would talk of race, and
ask white men to stand by white men,
The black Radicals would remind the reb-
els of former services. They supported
and protected the wives and children of
the rebel soldiers during the war. gave
them notice of raids, hid out stock in the
woods, buried gold, all TO thwart the ae-
quisitive propensities Of Lincoln's soldiers.
Therefore, the black Radicals would argue
the rebels should go with them.
But this would be out of the question.
Why Because the rebels, difrancbised,
would have no votes. If ever SO much
disposed, the rebels could be of no service
to the black Radicals, because the Brown
low Legislature would still disfranchise
them, and still exclude the black Radicals
from Office. In one way. indeed, the rebels
might be Of service to the black Radicals
In war of races between the black and
white Radicals, the rebels might remain
neutral and allow the black Radicals to
devour the white Radicals. Some smart
black Radical should be able to draw
bead on the top Of his nose, and fire at
this question in a sensible sort of way
Who knows what may happen Events
succeed each other as rapidly as sparks
from stirred fire. A combination bet
ween the black Radicals and the white
Radicals to keep the rebels down, is bad
thing for The black Radicals. The black
Radicals should go over at once to the
rebels. for we tell them that these same
despised rebels viii yet rule this state.--
There is 40 sort Of doubt of it. They
viii rule It from top to bottom, from cen
ire to circumference. Let the black Rad
icals make friends with them as speedily
as possibIe-AeDsphis Ledger.
