IN Aryas has been united, has to-day FIVE
tunes the aggregate circulation of any Democrat
ic or conservative newspaper. ltaddresses week.
~ alone more than 100, 900 subscribers and con-
slant purchasers and reaches at least hat million
readers. With the steady increase in circulation
which IL now enjoys, these numbers will soon
be doubled. Nothing less thanIhis should salts
fy those who believe that the only hope of restor-
ing the Union aud the authority of the Consti-
tuition over n now distracted and divided coun-
try, lies in wrestling power from the hands Of
those whose fim,ticisnl has helped to provoke,
invite, and prolong the war; and that to accom-
plsh this end, is so effective as the diff
fusion, through able and enterprising newspa-
pers, Of sound political knowledge among the
working men, the thinking men, and the voting
men OF the North.
Enterprise, Industry and money will be liber-
ally expended to make THE WORLD the BEST
NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA. Its news from
every part of the world will be early and au-
thcntic. Wherever the telegraph extends, or
railroads run or steamboats, ply it will gather
the latest intelligence. 1t has large staff of ac-
complished correspondents with all the federal
armies, who will telegraph and write to US the
latest news from the various seats ofwar. 1thas
correspondents and reporters in every political
and commercial centre in America and Europe,
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing
worthy of note unknown to its readers.
The MARKET REPORTS of the WORLD are more
complete than those of any other newspaper.
The Editors 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 ex-
celence in this respect. The WORLD has also
Ja, l.y t, anr llad
with editorial articles communications from
practical farmers, and selected matter, making
valuable and useful paper for the Farmers and
Mechanics of the country.
The war in which thenation is engaged against
armed and infatuated Rebels, and the radical
policy of the administration which prolongs it,
have conspred to bring together upon one plat
form all conservative Union-loving and Consti-
tution-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 leadership of those patriotic states
men of other and better days, Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster, together with the masses whose
principles were those of such patriots as Andrew
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 restoreMe Union, maintain the Constitution,
and enforce the Laws Whatever makes for this
end the exercise of force or the policy of concili-
alton, TIE WORLD will advocate; whatever
against it, THE WORLD will oppose.
twill oppose every enemy to THE UNION,
whether armed in rebellion at the South or in
sidiously planting the seeds of disunion and es-
sential dsloyalty at the North.
1t will oppose every violation of THE CON-
STlTUTlON, which is the only hope and bond
. TT,,,, G.
or compelling the allegiance of the South.
1t will oppose every infraction of THE LAW,
in high places or in low, by reckless and mis-
guided partsans, or by the administration which
has been their example.
1t will fearlessy exercise the Freedom Of the
Press; it will constantly uphold and defend
Freedom Of Speech and Freedom Of the Ballot.
To the lawless acts of the Administration, its
arbitrary and unjust arrests and expatriations,
its denial of the right to the writ of habeas cor
pus, its illegal proclamations its abrogaton of
State and federal laws, it's despotc accumula-
tions of ungranted power, and its subversions of
the safeguards of cirl and personal liberty, it will
constantly oppose the letter and the spirit of our
supreme law and the advocacy of sound doctrine,
until American treemen shall be reused to the
recovery ofheirrighls their liberties, their laws,
and their limited and well-baanced government,
by the reSisiess decision of the ballot
Profoundly impressed with the desire to con-
tribute all that it may to the great work of this
generation, namely, to restore our national uni
ty, and to place the United States again foremost
among the nations of the earth, and first in the
peaces prosperity, and happiness of its people
THE WORLD seeks from those who desire such
things their sympathy and,support, and, above
all, the favor of Him who crowns every good
work.
