From tn Round Table, New York, July, 1851
Tho Portland Press evinces a commendabIe ener-
gy in collating facts pertaining to the commercial
manufacturing and agricultural life OF its State. Its
editorial opinions are also expressed with unusual

country that pays any considerable attention to Ca
madam events. ga
[From the Waterville Mail Oct. 25.l /
The .proprietors Of the Press are sparing no ex-
pense in strengthening their editorial force, and in
improving their paper in every department. A frst
class daily may now be found without going out of
the State.
[From the Augusta Standard, Sept. 20, 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 a
zeal that betokens sincerity but scorns 10 descend
to personal abuse, SANDER and utilization of political
opponents It's course in this respect is in marked
contrast with that of the Press, published in the
same city. l 90
