PROSPECTUS.
) I II b z R EsS
With the opening of the new year we pi esenled
to the readers of the
DAILY PRESS.
A Paper Enlarged 10 the size ofthe largest
.& New England Dailies.

A Paper Enlarged 10 the size ofihe largest
/ @ New England Daiiics.
The enlargement Of our daily edition is equivalent
to the addition Of between three and four columns to
its size This additional space viii be devoted TO dc
tails OF important events which we have heretofore
been obliged to give in brief, and to selections from
current literature, grave gay. such have
lately been obliged to omit altogether.
What the character of the paper thus enlarged viii
be, its past history win show. The PREss was es-
tablished primarily to represent the Republican par
ty of Maine. II impossible for the controlling
party of the State to remain voiceless in this city.
The PRESS win continue to defend tha principles Of
the Liberal party of America. The war has closed
one great cycle lin our national history-the cycle
during which arstocracy at the South and democra-
cy ut the North grew up side 10y side, period of
jealousy and conflict, resulting in appeal to arms
and the victorious supremacy OF the democratic prin
cple. We have entered stat OF transition, which
seems likely to prove longer than most Of antici
pated. The PRESS will insist upon a settlement
which viii secure 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 a faithful exponent.
The present year will probably witness the eNten-
sion of the telegraph round the world The compile
ton Of that great enterprise will compel 4 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 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 oanno, rival the feats
New York journalism but we must be governed by the
same considerations. In view of the intimate rela-
tons existing between Maine and the British Pro-
vinces by which she is environed, we are happy to
announce that "SPURwINK's"
Canadian Letters
VIII be continued. We have also engaged
Regular Correspondents sa Washington,
New York, Boston and Ausastn,
and occasional correspondents at various points
Legislature. we shall publish
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, hope
to make the Press more valuable than any paper
published outside Of The State possibly he. We
shall publish the telegraphc summary other
New England newspapers. We shall not publish
special dispatches from Washington, but We shall
have regular correspondence from shat point, and
Daily Summary Of Maine News
which readers here would be sorry to miss We
shall have
Full and Accurate BHnrisct Reports,
forwarded by Telegraph from al parts of the United
States, from Canada, and from England. A weekly

and an accurate

in foreign and domestic ports will be published as
