The Portland Press has Instituted new feature
in its news columns, that of culling the news from
every county in the State, and arranging column,
more or less, according to material This is certain
ly good plan, and has added much to the already
well earned reputation Of the Press for reliable in
formation.
GFrom the Augusta Standard, Sept 90, 1851
The Portland Evening Star is conducted with
far more manliness, dignity and honesty, than any
other Republican paper in the State 1t presents its
views with marked ability and defends them with
zeal that betokens sincerity but scorns 10 descend
to personal abuse, slaner and yiiflcation of political
opponents. IFS course in this respect is in marked
contrast witk that Of the Press, published in the
same city.

George Clifford, young Augusta lawyer has accept
ed situation the editorial staff OF the Portland
Press. Mr. Clifford has been some time in that stu
alton, and has done some good SERVICE and is capa-
be of doing much more. Mr., &. is an earnest and
devoted student, and will be an acquisition to the
editorial corps OF Maine.

Maine Legislative session, we are indebted to the
Portland Press, which, with commendabe enter

lFrcm the Kennebec Reporter, Jan. 4.
THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS is not onIya credit
to the city but also to the State 1t is as large
most of the Boston daiies and in point of ability
deserves high rank. Its editorials often dull
but usually have fresh and sparkling style not COM
mon in our daily exchanges. The Press also has
the full Geographic dispatches OF the Associated
Press, and regular correspondence from Washington
New ork, and the principal cities of our own State.
During the session of the legislature it will have spe-
cia dispatches every night containing the substance
OF the days proceedings. Any movement that looks
to the material growth of the State always finds in
the Press hearty advocate. 1t should have large
list in all the prominent places of Maine.
For those who desire family paper the weekly
edition OF the Press has much to commend it. Be-
sides the carefully selected news of the week. and
political matter. it has readable stories and choice
miscellany, attractive to the family circle.
