UNION OF THE WORLD AND ARGUS.
The World, to which the New York Weekly
Argus has been united, has to-day gve times the
aggregate circulation of any Democratid op con.
servatve newspaper 1t addresses weekly alone
more than 100000 subscribers and constant pur-
chasers, and reaches at least half a million rea
ders with the increase in circulation which it
now enjoys these numbers will soon be doubled.
Nothing less than this should satisfy those who
believe that the only hope of restoring the Union
and the authority of the Constitution over now
distracted and divided country, lies in wrestling
power from the hands of those whose fanaticism
has helped to provoke, invite, and prolong the
war; and that to accomplish this end, no means
is so effective as the diffusion, through able and
enterprisng newspapers, of sound political knowl-
edge among the working men, tie 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 authentic
Wherever the telegraph extends, or railroads
run, or steamboats, ply, it will gather the latest
| intelligence. is has a large stall OF accomplished
correspondents with all the federal armies, who
will telegraph and write to us the latest news
from the various seats of war. 1t has correspon-
dents and reporters in every political and com
mercial center 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-
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 it
have conspired to bring together upon one plat
form all conservative, Union loving and Const
tuition loving men, of whatever former name ano
creed. Many of those who, within the limits o
the Constitution, fought the battles OF the ballot
box under the leadership of those patriotic states
men of other and better days, Henry Clay anc
Daniel Webster, together with the masses whose
principles were those of such patriots as Andrew
jackson, William l. Marcy, Silas Wright ant
Stephen A Douglas, now stand shoulder t(
shoulder upon the same platform and under thu
same banner. The platform is plain one l
is to restore the Union, maintain the Constitution
, and enforce the Laps. Whatever makes for thi
end, the exercise of force the policy of concil
iation, THE WORLD will advocate whateve
