UNION OF THE WORLD AND ARGUS.
TIVE WORLD, to which the New York Week
" argus has beeh' united, has to-day tv
times the aggregate circulation of any Democrat
ic or conservative newspaper. Itaddresses week
~ alone more than 100000 subscribers and CON
slant purchasers and reaches at least half million
readers. With the steady increase in circulation
which it now enjoys, these numbers will soon
be doubled. Nothing less Than this should sa tis-
fly those who believe that the only hope OF restor-
ing the Union aud the authority of the Copsti-
tuition over now distracted and divided coun
try, lies In wrestling power from~the hands OF
those whose fanatcism has helped TO provoke,
invite, and prolong the war; and that to accom-
plish this end no means is so effective the DIFF
fusion, through able and enterprising newspa-
pers, OF sound political knowledge among the
working men, the thinkiug 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 win be early and au-
thentic. Wherever the telegraph extends, or
railroads run, or STEAMBOATS, ply, twill 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. 1t has
correspondents and reporters in every political
and commercial centre in America and Europe,
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing
worthy of note unknown 10 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-
cellence In this respect. The WORLD has also a
special department devoted to Agriculture, filled
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 the nation is engaged against
armed and infatuated Rebels, and the radical
policy Of the administration which prolongs 1t,
have conspired 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
Jackson and William L. Marcy, Silas Wright
and Stephen A. Douglas, now stand shoulder to
shoulder upon the same platform and under the.
same banner. The platform is plain one
tits to restoreHe Union maintain The Constitution,
and enforce the Laies. Whatever makes for this
end, the exercise of force or the policy Of concli-
alton, THE WORLD will advocate; whatever
against 1t, THE WORLD will oppose.
1t will oppose every enemy TO THE UNION,
whether armed in rebellion at the South or in
sidiously planting the seeds Of disunon and es-
sential disoyalty at the North. .f.I
1t will oppose every violation of THE CON-
STITUTION. which is the only hope and bond
of Union, and our only authority for exhorting
or compelling the allegiance of the South.
1t will oppose every infracton Of THE LAW,
in high places or in low, by reckless and mis-
guided partisans, or by the administration which
has been their example.
1t will fearlessly 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 procamatioHs, its abrogation of
State and federal laws, its despotic accumula-
tons of ungranted power, and its subversons of
the safeguards Of civH 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 shsll be reused to the
recovery ofther rights, their liberties their laws,
and their limited and we-balanced government,
by the resistless decision of the ballot
Profoundly impressed with the desire TO con-
tribute all that il may to the great work of this
generation, NAMELY, TO restore our national uni
~, and to place the United States again foremost
among the nations. of the earth, and first in the
pelce, 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.
