PROSPECTUS FOR 1864.
The World:
An independent Democratic Dali
Iy, semi-Weekly and Weekly
Newspaper.
UNION OF THE WORLD AND
ARGUS

The World, to which the New York Weekly Argus
has been united, has to-day FIVE times the ag1rs-
gate oireu lation of any Democratic or conservative
newspaper. 1t addresses weekly alone more than
100, 600 subscribers md constant purchasers, and
reach ss at least half a million readers. With the
steady increase ia 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 di-
vided country, lies in wrestling power from the
hands Of those fsnatieism 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 aRd money will be literally
expended to make The World the Best Newspaper
in America les news from every part Of tie world
will be early and uthentic. Wherever the telegraph
cxtcds, or railroads run, or steamboats, ply, it will
gather the latest intelligence. 1t has a large staff
Of accomplished correspondents with all the federal
armies, who will telegraph and write TO as the latest
news from the various seats of war. 1t has CORES
pOndents and reporters in every political aud COM
mereisl 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, filled with editorial articles
communications from practical farmers and mechan-
les of the country.
The var in which the 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-
sentative, Union-lovipf 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
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 as Andrew Jackson and William L
Marcy. SiIas Wright sud Stephen A. Douglas, now
stand shoulder to shoulder upen the same platform
lisa plain one. It is 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 win oppose.
1t Willoppote every enemy to the Union, whether
armed in rebellion at the South or insidiously plant
ing the seeds of disunion and essential dislOyalty at
the North.
1t will oppose every violation Of the Constitution
which is the only hope aud bond of Union, and our
only authority for exhOrting or compelling the allie
glance Of the South.
1t will oppose every i~ufraction of the Law in high
places or in low, by reckless and misguided parti-
sans, or by the administration which has been their
example.
II will fearlessly exercise the Freedom Of the
Press it will constantly uphold and defend Free
dom of Speech and Freedom of the Ballot.
To the laWless cots of the administration, its
arbitrary and unjust arrests and expstriatiOus, its
denial Of the right to the writ of haheas corpus, its
illegal proclamations, its abrogatiOn OF State and
federal laws, its despOtic accommodations OF ungrant-
ed power, and its sUbversions of the safeguards Of
civil and %pertonal liberty, it viii constantly CPdose
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
we'll balanced government, by the ~resistless decision
of the ballot.
Profoundly impressed with the desire 10 contri-
butte ali 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
M tons Of the earth, and fast id the peace, pros
perity, and happiness Of itS peoPle-The World
seeks from those who desire such thing their sym
and support, and, above all, the favor Of Him who
crowns every good work
