A Paper Enlarged to the size ofthe largest
sAana New England Dailies. ga
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 we have heretofore
been obliged to give in brief and to selections from
current literature, grave OF gay, such as we have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged will
be, its past history win show. The PRESS was es-
tablished primarily to represent the Republican par
ty of Maine. 1t was impossible for the controlling
party of the State to remain yoiceless 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 deocra-
cy at the North grew up side by side, period of
jealousy and conflict, resulting in 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 settlement
which will secure the fruits of victory. Nothing
is settled till it is settled right. We must have de-
mocracy at the South as well 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 will 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 to 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

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-
lions existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vinces by which she is environed, we are happy to
announce that "SPURwINK's"

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 can possibly be. We

New England newspapers. We shall not publish |
special dispatches from Washington, but we shall |
have regular correspondence from that point, and
