THE WORLD
THE BEST NEWSPAPER


IN AMERICA. Its news from every part of the
wofld will be early ard authentic. Wherever the
telegraph extends, railroads run, steamboats,
ply, it will gather the latest intelligence 1t has
large staG Of accomplished correspondents with all
the federal armies, who will telegraph and write to
US the latest news from the various seats OF war
1t has correspondents and reporters in every polt-
cal and commercial centre in America and Europe,
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing wor
thy Of note unknown to Its readers
The Market Reports Of the World are more COM
plete than those of any other newspaper. The El
tors invite comparison in this respect and point to
the reports Of the Cattle Markets, the general and
country Produce Markets, and the Money Market
in its columns, as proof OF its excellence in this
spect. The WORLD has also a special department
devoted to Agriculture filed with editorial afticles
communications from practical farmers, and select
ed matter, making valuable and useful paper for
the Farmers and Mechanics Of the country.
The war in which the nation is engaged against
armed and infatuated Rebels and the radical policy
OF the administration which prolongs 1t, have con-
spired to bring together upon one platform all con-
servative. UniOnloviDg and Constitution loving
men, of whatever former name and creed Many
Of those who, within the limits Of the Constitution,
fought the battles OF the ballot box under the lead
crslp Of those patriotic statesmen OF other and bet
ter days Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, together
with the masses whose principles were those OF such
patriots as Andrew Jackson and William l.. Marcy,
Slas Wright and Stephen A.. Douglas now stand
shoulder to shoulder upon the same platform and
under the same banner. The platform is plain one.
1t is to RESTORE TIE UNION, MAINTAIN TIE
CONSTITUTION, AND ENFORCE TUE LAWS
Whatever makes for this end the exercise Of force
or the policy of conciliaton, THE WORLD will ad-
vocate; whatever makes against it, THE WORLD
will oppose.

er armed IN rebellion at the South or inSidiously
planting the seeds OF disunon and essential disloy-
atty at the North.
Ii will oppose every violation of TIE CONSTITU-
TION which is the only hope and bond Of Union,
and our only auihoyity for eXhortng or compelling
the allegiance OF the South.
II will oppose every infraction OF THE LAW, in
high places or in low, ~ reckless and misguided
partisans, or by the administration Which has been
their example.
1t will fear;essly exercise the Freedom of the
Press; 1t will constantly uphold and defend Freedom
OF spec oh, and Freedom Of tie Ballot.
70 the lawless acts of the administration, its ar.
btrary and unjust arrests and eNpatriatiOnS, its de
na Of the right 10 the writ OF habeas corpus its ie
gal rocamRtions, its abrogation OF State and Fed
eral laws, its deSpotic umulation of ungranted
power and its subverSions OF he safeguards OF civil
and personal liberty It will constantly oppose the
letter and the spirit of our supreme law aid the adj
Vocacv Of sound doctrine, until American freemer
liberties, their laws and their limited aud well
balanced Government, by the resistless decision Of
the ballot.
Profoundly impressed with the desire to contribute
all that II may TO the great work of this generation
namely to 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 pcope,-THE WORLD seeks from
those who desire such things their sympathy and
support and, above all, the favor Of Him who
crowns every just work
