THE b r FOR 1855
Rr@EnpoDounss

THE Presidential contest Just closed
coneigns the political destinies of the peo-
pie Of the Uaiied States, during another
iermsoi years, "a The controI of President
Lincoln of the Norlh, and Jefferson Davis
at the South.
The Democratic party, always indenti-
fed with The prosperity, growth, and glory
of tbs republic, may point with honest
pride 10 lis record in this great contest.
Against an administration webbing the
most enormous power Of patronage and
he most unlimited command OF etressuse
ever possessed by any government, aud
reinforced alike by the unbonnded tears OF
many patriots and the 81 mpatbies Of all
traitors, the Democratic party fought the
battle Of 1864 firmly and iearIessly to the
end.
Dictated IN the electoral college, the
small majority Of popular votes by which
iihas be en- go defeated Is demonstr ably
less<lhan the number Of persons openly
and officially dependent npon the andmin-
islratiou as office holders orscoBlractors IN
the various departments OF the public ser
vice.
But The result is acainsi Us. The Law
continues TO be administered by men n
not only violate its exress provisions, but
invade also those personal and civil rights
so high and sacred that CONSTITUTIONS can
not confer but only guarastee them, and
which laws are made 10 vindicais and
guard. The Purse is still borne by men
whofnsfour wears have heaped upon us
and the unborn generations OF onr CHILDREN
q debt aimoat as huge as thai Of England,
acquired through centuries, and whose
policy Of a bloafed paper currency doubles
upon US the present burden of this gigan-
tic indebtedness- The Sword is still WELD
ed by those who see. treason in an olive
branch, and who make victories won by
our gallant armies-and fleets fruirIess, sInce
they open no path 10 lhetriumphs Of peace
Democrats must avail events.
They can now only watch for the public
safety, and exert all the power of a great
minority 10 prevent Mr.. LinGoIn's ADMINS
tralion rom drifting, Tor the sake Of aboli-
ton, into a disunion peace.
.sThey also serve who ohly stsnd aud
wait"
The principles Of The Democratic parry
are Just, and will ye. prevail, for they are
The laws Of the progress OF the human race.
They are the principles which have emerg-
ed from every revoluiiol OF the Anglo
Saxon race, with increased guarantees aud
strength. The coming four years are TO BE
years OF calamity. But now they who
sowed4he winds are 10 be reapers of the
whirrwind. The Democratic party is shotn
of power, but il is divesled OF all RESPONSE
bilIiy. When the hour of sore distress
comes, the people, instead of cursiDg the
Democratic parry, will TO il foi relief, aud
cling 10 IL for deliyerance.
Often, duriHg the past year, The
World has been made TO feel the heavy
hand of-arbrifary power. Rendering all
lawful support 10 the constituted authorities
- s. /. L.
free speech. free ballot, or an ardent de-
votion 10 the Union, and support of The war
for The Unions sake it has, nevertheless,
been repeatedly excluded from military
Departments by partisan generals, and tor
several days us issues were suspended by
the order OF Lincoln himself, aud It's offices
closed and occupied by armed soldiers al
his command.
THE WORLD for 1865 will be a better
Newspaper han IL has ever been. It's col
umns, freed from the exacting demands OF
a political canvass, will afford more room
for the news of the day, Of all kinds, from
all parts of the world.
The SEMI-WEEKLY WORLD will ex-
actly suit those who wanl the new oftere 81
than Weekly, YET 90 not feel able to pay
$40 for the Daily. 1t contains all the read
ing matter, news and editorials of the Dsi>

The WEEKLY WORLD has now the
largest circnlaliou of any weekly journal
published, save one. Its extraordinary
success since its unton With The New York
argus, has justified Us in very liberal ex-
penditures Tor the year TO come, such as
will make IL without a rival in interest and
value 10 The farmers of our country. Its
Agricultural Department will be as good
and complete ae any Of the agricultural pa
pers; and is reports of the Cattle, Produce
and Money Markets wilI-excel them all. a
page or more will be reserved TO entertain-
ing fireside reading, and the type will be
large and clear enough for old eyes.
10 a few days all the editions 1.-THE
WORLD VIII be printed on new lype.-
Several new folding machines just set up
in our vaults, will enable us 4 work of
and mail ali editions with the utmost
speed and regularity.
While the wal continues, and the cur
rency is of such sort as it is, we can hope
for little or no profit. Our terms have been
increased, but not ia proportion TO the in
creased cost of-everything Used in making
a newspaper. Indeed, to-day, there Is
nothing equally valuable so cheap as a
newspaper.
