New England Dailies.

| new England Da1lless
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 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 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 voiceess 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 national hisiory-the cycle
during which aristOcracy at the South and democra-
cy at the North grew up side by SIDE a period of
jealousy and conflict resulting in an appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy of the democratic prin
ciple. We have entered state of transition which
seems likely to prove longer than most of antci
pated. The PRESS will insist upon settlement
which will secure the fruits of 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 the Republican party of
| Maine, the PREsswill remain a faithful exponent
sion of the telegraph round the world. The compile
tien of that great enterprise will compel a 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 win 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 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
New York jouValism but we must be governed by the
| same considerations - e5s--.atea ~
We have engaged
Regular Correspondents i'm Washington,
New York, Boston and Augusta, ~
| and occasional correspondents at various points
| throughout the State. During the session of the
Legislature, we shall publish ssbE
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 Geographic summary other
New England newspapers. We shall not publish
special dispatches from Washington, but we shall
| have regular correspondence from that point, and
