THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was u time in the history Of cur
| country when greater necessity existed for cir
culating pure Democratic documents. Radical
legislation has made grave yard and desert Of
half of our country; our liberties have been in
iringcd upon to an alarming extent; oyerwhelm-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load Of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the scott and by-word of foreign nations, dispis.
ed at home and dcrided abroad, it lie oyerhang
ing the very brink Of destruction; the departure
of our people from the glorious precepts of the
past, has led them into a labyrinth of anarchy
from which many SEQ no escape but in military
despotSm. The New York Inperidiist, founded
and supported by tho bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire;
its efforts receive the countenance Of high gov
eminent officials, and tho appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs ofthe East; wo are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship Of State There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens and to realization Of
the peril in which their liberties are placed.
tho dcmagogues and punderers who are fast urg-
ing it TO ruin. The masses must return to the
principles of the fathers Of the Republic, drive
from places of trust the spoilers fattening upon
the life blood Of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy, There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism The struggle has already
commenced. The Democratic party will be
found, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of tho people
Circulate the documents.
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands Of every
Democrat III the county, and within the reach
of every political opponent who may desire to
investigate facts and listen to the truth whitley yet
there is time. On and after the LIST Of July, the
price Of the WEEElY Argos will be as follows:
