UNION OF THE WORLD ANu ARGUS.

THE WORLD, to which the New York Wsetfv
Aygus has been united, has to-day Ave times lhe az
gegae circulation of any Democratic or conservative
newspaper. It addresses weekly alone moro than
100, 200 subscribers and constant purchasers. and
reaches At least Aalf million readers. With the
steady increase in circulation which it now enjoys.
these numbers Will soon be doubled Nothing less
than this should satisfy those who believe that tho
only hope of restoring the Union and the authority
of the Constitution over q now distracted aud di-
vided country lies in Wrestling power from the hands
Of those whose fanateism has helped to provoke, in
vite and prolong the war; snd that to accomplish
this end, no means are 50 effective as the diffusion
through able and enterprising newspapers. of sound
political knowledge among the working men, tho
thinking men, and the voting men Of the North.
Enterprise, industry and money will be literally
expended to make THE WORLD the BEST NEWS
PAPER IN AMERICA. Its news from every part
of the world will be early and authentic Wherever
the telegraph extends railroads rum or steam boats
ply, il will gather tho latest intelligence. 1t has
largo staff Of accomplished correspondents with Ill
the Federal armies who will telegraph and write TO

and commercial center in America and Europe.
whose letters and dispatches will leave nothing wor

THE MARKET REPORTS OF THE WORLD arc moro
complete than those of any other newspaper. Tho
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 proof Of its excellence in this respect.
The WORLD has also special department devoted

nicatons from practical farmers, and selected mat

ers and Mechanics of the country.
The war in which tho nation is engaged against
armed and infatuated Rebels and the radical policy
of the Administration which prolongs it. have con-
spired to bring together upon one platform all con-
servative, UniOn-loying 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
ershp Of those patriotic statesmen Of other and bet
ter days, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, together
with the masses whose principles those of such
patriots as Andrew Jackson and W lillian l.. Marcy,
Sias 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 the UHion ndintdha the Consti
tation and enforce the Lars. Whatever makes for
this end, the exercise of force the policy Of
ciliation, 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 insdi-
Ously planting the seeds of dsunion and essential
disloyalty at the North. seq
| II will oppose every violation Of THE CON.
STITUTION, which is the only hope and bond Of
Union. and our only authority for exhorting or COM
polling the allegiance of the South.
1t will oppose every infrsction of THE LAW,
in high places or in low by reckless and misguided
partisans, or by the Administration which has been
their example.
1t will fearlessly exercise the Freedom Of Ms
Press; it will constantly uphold and defend Freedom
of Speech and Freedom Of tie Ballot.
To the lawless acts of the Administration, its ar
bitrary and unjust arrests aud expatrations, its de-
nial of the right to the writ Of hG6eas corpus its il
legal proclamations its abrogaton of State and Fed
eral laws. its despotic accumulations Of ungranted
power and its subversons of the safeguards of cf1&
and personal liberty. IL will constantly oppose the
the spirit of supreme law and the adyo
cacy of sound doctrins, until American freemen
shall be reused to the recovery of their rights their
liberties their laws and their limited and well-bal
anced government by the resistless decision of the
ballot.
Profoundly impressed with the desire to contribute
all that it may to the great work Of this generation
namely, to restore national unity and To place
the United States again foremost among tho nations
Of the earth and first in the peace, prosperity and
happiness Of its people-THE WORLD seeks from
those who desire sucn things their sympathy and
support, and above ALL the favor Of Him who crowns
every good work.
