UNION OF THE WORLD AND ARGUS.
---~---~--~-~--~-~-
THE WORLD, to which the New York
Weekly ARGUS has been united, has to-
day five times the aggregate circulation OF
any Democratic or conservative newspaper.
1t addresses weekly alone more than 100. !
900 subscribers and constant purchasers,
and reaches at least half a million readers
With the steady increase in circulation ,
which it now enjoys, these numbers will
be doubled by the 1st of January, 1864.
Nothing less than this should satisfy those
who believe that the only hope Of restoring
the Union and the authority Of the Con-
stitution over now distracted and divided
country, lies in Wrestling power from the
hands OF those whose fanaticism has hell /.
ped to provoke, invite, and prolong the !
war and that TO accomplish this end, no
means is so effective as the diffusion,
through able and enterprsing newspapers,
of sound political knowledge among tho
working men, the thinking men, and the
voting men of the North.
Enterprise, industry and money will be
literally expended to make 1ne World
the best newspaper in America. Its news
from every part of the world will be early
and authentic. Wherever tho telegraph
extends, or railroads run, or steam boats
ply, it will gather the latest intelligence.
It has large staff of accomplish ed COR
respondents with all the federal armies,
who will telegraph and write to us the
latest news from the various seats Of wa,.
1t has correspondents and reporters iu ev-
cry politician and commercial centre ia
America and Europe, whose letters and
dispatches will leave nothing worthy of
note unknown 10 its readers.
Special oxertions will be used to make
its reports of the Crops, of the Cattle, Pro.
duce, and Money markets, comprehensive
and accurate. Realizing that the bone
and sinew Of the country are to be found
upon its farms and in its workshops, The
World will gather from every quarter in
formation and news concerning Agricul-
ture and manufactures, and will endeavor
to make its issues peculiarly valuable to
the Farmers and Merchants OF the country.
The war 10 which the nation is engaged
against armed and infatuated Rebels, and
the radical policy Of the administration
which prolongs it, have conspired to bring
together upon one platform all couserva-
tive, Union loving aud Constitution-oving
men, of whatever form, name and creed.
Many Of those who, within the limits of
the Constitution, fought the battle of the
ballot-box under the leadership Of those
patriotic statesmen of other and better days,
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, together
with the masses whose principles were
those of such patriots as Andrew Jack.
son and William i. Marcy, Slas Wright
and Stephen A. Douglas, now stand shoul-
der to shoulder upon the same platform
and under tho same banner. The plat
form is plain one 1t is to restore the
Union, maintain the Constitution, and
enforce the Laws. Whatever makes for
this end, exercise of force or the policy of
conciliation, The World will advocate !;
whatever makes against it, The World
will oppose.
1t will oppose every enemy to the Union
whether armed in rebellion at the South
or insidously planting the seems Of disun-
ion and essential disloyalty at the North.
1t will oppose every violation of the Con-
stitution which is the only hopo aud bond
of Union, and our only auth ority Tor ex
horsiDg or compelling the allegiance of
tho South.
1t will oppose infraction Of the laws in
high places or in low, by reckless and mis-
guided partisans, or by the administration
which has been than example.
1t will fearlessly exercise the Freedom
of the Press it will constantly uphold
and defend Freedom of Speech, and Free
dom of the Ballot.
To the lawess acts of the Administra-
tion, its arbitrary and unjast arrests aud eX-
patriations, its denial of tho right to the
writ of Aa6eaS corpus, its illegal proclama
tions, its abrogation Of state and federal
laws, its despotic accommodations ol un.
granted power, and its subverson OF the
safeguards Of civil and personal liberty, il
will constantly oppose the letter and the
spirit of our supreme law and the advocacy
of sound doctrine, until American freemen
shall be reused TO the recovery of their
rights, their liberties, their laws, and their
limited and well balanced government by
the resistless decision Of the ballot.
Profoundly impressed with the desire
to contribute all that it may to the great
work of the this generation-namoly. Tc
restore our national unity, and to place
the United States again foremost among
the nations Of the earth, and first in the
peace, prosperity and happiness OF its peo-
ple--The World seeks from those who de-
sire such things their sympathy and sup
port, and, above all, the favor OF Hin
who crowns every good work.
