UNION OF THE WORLD AND
ARGUS.

THE WORLD, to which the New York
Weekly Argus has been united, has to-day
i've times the aggregate circulation of any
Democratic or conservative newspaper. 1t
addresses weekly alone to more than 100000
subscribers and constant purchasers, and
reaches at least half million readers. With
the steady increase in circulation which it
now enjoy, these numbers will soon be dou-
bled. Nothing less than this should satisfy
those who believe that the only hope of re-
st oring the Union and the authority of the
Constitution over 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
enterp rising newspapers, of sound political
knowledge among the working men, the
thinking men, and the voting men of the
North. g -rt
