[From the Augusta Standard, Sept. 90, 1861
The Portland Evening Star is conducted with
far more manliness, dignity and honesty, than any
other Republican paper in the State II presents its
views with marked ability and defends them with a
zeal that betokens sincerity but scorns 10 desct nd
to personal abuse, saner and vilicaton of political
opponents Its course in this respect is in marked
contrast with that OF the Press, published in the
same city.
From the Machias Republican, Oct. 24.l
We learn, not for the first time, however, from a
letter In the Bangor Wing and Courier, that Mr..
George Clifford, young Augusta lawyer, has accept
ed situation on the editorial staff Of the Portland
Press. Mr. Clifford has been some time in that sitr-
alton, and has done somagood service, and is capa-
Bile of doing much more. Mr., G. is an earnest and
devoted student, and will be an acquisition to the
editorial corps OF Maine.
