PROSPECTUS.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
PAPER FOR 1864,
THE w O::RLD
FOR TIE PRESIDENTIAL CAMpIGN.

TNHE approaching Presidential election is
unauestonably to be the most important
ever held since the establishment of our Govern
mc.t, Upon its results may not unlikely depend
the continuance Of our republican Government on
this continent. The liberties Of The people hare
been inradcd, under the pretenco of preserving
liberty their rights assaSled under II pretended
defense of those rights their constitutional priv.
ileges destroyed under the plea of sustaining the
Constitution.
The war for the suppression of the Southern
rebellion has been made tho instrument of usur-
patton and of oppression and the patriotism Of
the people turn cd to an assault upon free govern
ment, The prodigul lbcrality of our citizens in
support Of the war has been'used as means Of
onriching officials, their friends and favorites,
and the money contributed TO sustain armies
has been diverted TO the basest of partisan uses
to the most corrupdng practices in every branch
of the Administration.
The power and influence Of our Government
among nations has been frittcred away, and n
monarchy established on our borders, without SO
much as protest from tho Washington Admins
tration, The riyht Of asylum has been uj0lUted
with the connivance and aid Of the Administra-
ton, and foreigners, who had sought homo on
our shores have been kidnapped by United States
officials and sent out Of the country, in violation
Of law and right.
Tic Wcriy oj the prcss 1as been 'nralca-ncws-
papers have boon suppressed by military powor,
persons have boen seizod, imprisoned, punished,
without warrant, without trial, without Judicial
examination, and our boostcd freedom is fast
becoming a byword and a mOckory.
Finally, the Pre- lent has avOwed his dctermi-
nation to convert tho war into an abolition cru
saje, and refuses 10 ontert in propositions for
peace, except upon condition Of the abandonment
Of slavery in all the States.
Shall the Administration, which has thus failed
in its duty-which has thus tramplcd upon tho
rights Of tho poOple-bo continued in powerf
Shall the political party which sustains such ctl-
cial misgovcrnment be permitted to maintain its
ascendeHoy? The answer Of every ho-est patriot
is an indignant NO.
To aid in the great work Of frc-cstnblishing the
Constitution, Of restoring tho Union, and Of Sc
curing to the people their rights and their ltber
ties special efforts must be put forth to
enlighten and influence the i publicS mind, to
expose the wrongs and abuses Of the present
Administration, arouse the people to n sense of
their dangers, and disseminate, throughout tho
length and breadth of the land, during the Presi
dental campaign, the great principles Of Demo -
cracy, of civil liberty, an Of personal and poiti
cal rights.
In addition to our regular Daily, Weekly,
and Weekly editions, we shall issue u special
campaign edition, to be called
TIE CAMPAIGN WORLD,

the proceedings Of the Chicago Conye ltion, and
