DAILY PRESS,
A Paper Enlarged TO the size Ofihc largest
New England DaiIics.

The enlargement of our daily edition is equivalent
its SIZE This additional space will be devoted TO de-
tails of important events, which have heretofore
been obliged give in BRIEF and 10 selections from
current literature, grave or gay. such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
I What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
| be, its past history will show. The PRESS
| tabshed primarily to represent the Republicans par
ty of Maine 1t was impossible for the controlling
party of tie State to remain voeeess 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-tle 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 arms
and the victorious supremacy of the democratic prnl-
ciple We have entered state of transition, which
seems likely to prove longer than most of antci
| pated. The Press will insist upon a settlement
which will secure the fruits victory Nothing
is settled till is settled right. We must have de-
mocracy at the South well as at the Noltl-equal
rights for all secured by equal laws, freedom OF
spccch freedom Of the press, impartial suffrage. OF
the profound convictions Of the Republican party OF
Maine, the PRESS will remain a faithful exponent.
The present year viii probably witness the extern
sion OF the telegraph round the world. Tic 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, ami cores 0ndence will regain some
thing its old importance. Newspaper associations
or news agents viii assume the task Of furnishing
the daily dispatches while correspondents will fur
nsh 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
New York journalism but must be governed by the
same considerations. In view Of the intimate rela-
tions existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vnces by which she is environed, we are happy to
announce that "SpURwINK's"

To the people of Maine, and especially to people
