THE WORLD:
An Independent Democratic Daily, Semi
weekly and Weekly Newspaper.

UNION OF THE WORLD AND ARGUS.
THE WORLD, to which the New York Week
| IN Argus has been united, has to-day five
times 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 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 it's
fy those who believe that the only hope Of restor-
ing the Union and the authority of the Consti-
tuition over now distracted and divided coun-
try, lies in wrestling power from the hands of
those whose fanaticism has helped 10 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 thinking men, and the voting
men OF the North.
Enterprise Industry and money will he liber-
ally expended to make THE WORLD the BEST
NEW PAPER IN AMERICA. Its news from
every part of the world will be early and au-
thentic. Wherever the telegraph extends, or
railroads run, or steamboats, ply, IL will gather
the latest intelligence. 1t has large staff of &C.
complished 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 political
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-
cellence in this respect. The WORLD has also q
special department devoted to Agriculture, filled
! nj,
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 aud infatuated Rebels, and the radical
policy Of the administration which prolongs ii,
have conspred to bring together upon one plat
form all conservative, UnOn-iovng and Consti-
luton-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, 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 reSorethe Uaaion maintain tie Constitution,
and enforce the LGWs. Whatever makes for this
end, the exercise of force or the policy of conc-
alton, THE WORLD will advocate; whatever
against it, THE WORLD will oppose.
1t will oppose every enemy to THE UNION,
whether armed in rebellion AT the South or in
sidiousy planting the seeds Of dsunion and es-
scntial disoyalty at the North.
1t Will oppose every violation of THE CON-
STlTUTION, 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 infraction 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 hdbeds cor
pus, its illegal proclamations, its abrogation of
state and federal laws, its despotic accumula-
tons OF ungranted power, and its snbversions OF
the safeguards of ciua and personal liberty, it will
constantly oppose the letter and the spirit of our
supreme law and the advocacy of sound doctrine
until American freemen shall be reused to the
recovery oftheir rights, their liberties, their laws
and their limited and we-balanced government
by the resistess 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 na tona uni
ty, and to place the United States again foremost
among the nations of the earth, and first in tie
peace, 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
