UNION OF THE WORLD AND
ARGTC

The World, to which the New York Weekly Argus
has been united, has to-day FIVE times the aggre-
gate circulation Of any Democratic or conservative
newspaper. It addresses weekly alone more than
100, 900 subscribers md constant purchasers, and
reaches at least half a million readers. With the
steady increase in circulation which il 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 a now distracted and di-
vided country, lies in Wrestling power from the
hands of those fanaticism has helped to provoke,
invite, and prolong the war; Ond that TO accomplish
this end, no means is so effective as the diffusion,
throuSh able and enterprising newspapers, Of sound
political knowledge among the working men, the
thinking men, and the vOtingmen of the North.
Enterprise, industry and money viii be literally
expended to make The World the Best Newspaper
in America It's news from every part Of the world
will be early and utheBtic. Wherever The telegraph
extcds, or railroads rum, or steamboats, ply, IT will
gather the latest intelligence. 1t has a lar e atTh
of accomplished correspondents with all the federal
armies, who will telegraph and write to rs the latest
news from the various seats of war. 1t has cores
pondents and reporters in every political and com
mercial centre 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 com
plete 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 Mar
kets in its columns, as proof OF its excellence IN this
respect. The world has also a special department
devoted to Agriculture, filed with editorial articles
communications from practical farmers and mechan-
les Of the country,
The war in which the nation is engaged against
armed and infotuated Rebels, and the radical policy
of the administration which prolongs it, have con-
spired to bring together upon one platform all con-
servative, Union lovirf and Constitution-loYing
men, Of whatever former name aud creed. Many of
those who within the limits Of the Constitution,
fought the battles Of the ballot box under tho
leadership of those patriotic statesmen Of Other and
better days, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, to-
gether with the MOSES whose principles were those
of snch. patriots rs Andrew Jackson and William l.
Marcy, Silas Wright and Stephen A. Douglas, now.
stand shoulder to shoulder upen the same platform
lisa plain one. tt to restore the Union, maintain
the Constitution, and enforce the laws. Whatever
makes for this END, the exercise of force Of the
policy Of Cancellation. The World will advocate.
whatever makes against it, The World viii oppose.
1t will oppote every enemy to the Union, whether
armed in rebellion at the South or iusidiously plant
ing the seeds Of disunion and essential d~islOyalty at
the North.
twill oppose every ~violation of the Constitution
which is the only hope and bond Of Union, and our
only authority for e~xh9rting or compelling the ale
glance of the South.
1t will oppose every iufraction Of the Law in high
places or in low, by reckless and misguided parti-
sans, or BY tE6 ddHllnlstI&SlOl WHICH AdA uooA Lu6lE
example.
1t viii f~earlessly exercise the Freedom of the
Press it will constantly uphold and defend Free
dom Of Speech and Freedom Of the Ballot.
To the lawless acts Of the administration, its
arbitrary and unjust arrests and expatriatiOus, its
denial Of the right to the writ Of habeas corpus, its
illegal p-roclamations, its abrogation of State and
federal laws, its despotie Accommodations of migrant
ed power, and its subversions Of the safeguards Of
civil and %pertonal liberty, it will constantly opdose
the letter and the spirit of our supreme law and the
advocacy of sound doctrine, until American free
men shall be reused to the recovery Of their rights,
their liberties, Their laws, and their limited and
well balanced government, by the r~esistless decision
of the ballot,
Profoundly impressed with the desire to contri-
butte all thas it may to the great work Of this gener-
alton namely, to restore our national unity, and
to place the United States again fOrmOst among the
ma tions of the earth, and FIST id the peace, pros
perity, and happiness of its people.-The World
seeks from those who desire such things their SYM
