From til Round Table, New York, July, 1851
The Portland Press evinees aeommendable ener-
gy IN collating facts pertaining to the commercial
manufacturing and agrcultura life OF its State Its
editorial opinions are also expressed with unusual
weight, ana if Is the only provincial journal in the
country that pays any considerable attention TO Ca
madam events.
[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 hrst
class daily may nov be found Without going ont OF
the State.
From the Augusta STANDARD, Sept. 20, 1861
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 abuss SANDER and utilization of political
opponents. Its course in this respect is in marked
contrast with that of the Press, published in the
same city. ltaAc
g. GFrom the Machas Republican, Oct. PAL
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 time in that sitIl-
alton, and has done some good service, and is capa
pie OF doing much more: Mr, q. is an earnest and
editorial corps OF Maine.

take it instead of supporting the Boston daies
tirely.
