-@--~--~-
 Tn the year 1872 General Grants suc- ceesor is to be chosen the Forty-third Congress to be elected.
 The peoples votes, white and black, North and South, will thus decide the fu- ture destiny of the Republic, select its ru- lers. prescribe their course.
 How to influence the peoples votes ?
 By the newspaper--for it includes every other agency. It makes known events and facts-among all influences the chief It assemblies the vaster outside audiences which cannot gather to the State-house, the pulpit or the stump. It is the con- stant interpreter of mems affairs, and of error or truth is the daily seed-sower.

 The Worlds seed-sowing will be fruitful to the extent that it's circulation is widely pushed by those who approve it's aim.
 The World will aim to represent and combine the labors and the votes of
 I-AI those who find best insurance of the peoples prosperity, peace and pro- eress in a government administered on the principles and in the pure practice of lief, ferson and Jackson, and who discry the fount and origin of the present corruption extravagance, misgovernment, subversion of public liberties, and insecurity of pri. vate rights in our rulers lawless usurpa- ton of interdicted and undelegated pow ers-usurpation that today marches deib- erately on to the subiugation of popular rule and the possession of dictatorial pow er-for by acts of Congress General Grant may even now destroy the freedom of State elections, invade the States at his l. own mere will.
 I-All those who womb maintain the honor of republics, and. would preserve public credit by punctual payment of pub. lie debts.
 TII-All those who would cut down to fewer and fit objects all appropriations of the peoples money to-day more than double, nearly treble, the appropriations of Democratic Congress eleven years ago, not counting annuities to Indians, pensions 10 soldiers, and interest on debt) and who would oblige all spending of the peoples money got by taxes to be with honesty and thrift likewise all those who would spare little the peoples landed estate for the landless millions hereafter and stop its squandering dolninions in a day upon those who already own too much.
 IV-All those who would reduce the number of commodities taxed by our ta- riff from thousands to few dozen, and so empty our custom houses of half their of- ficiaIs, rid the statute books of half their odious snares for honesty OF brbes to fraud, and unfetter scores of our native industries.
 V-All those who would lower the rates also of our tariff taxes to the point ormost easily yielding the largest revenue-who would abandon the protectionist system of reducing the public revenue whilst in- creasing the extortionate profits of few at the expense of all other industries.
 VI-All those who would abolish every unlawful tax, like that. on incomes; every unius tax like that which gives banks the peoples profits on a national currency; every unequal and indeterminate tax, like that levied most cruelty upon the poor the tax of our irredeemable paper money.
 Tue World will aim-as the recognized and leading organ of the Democratic par ty iu the great focus of national commerce and intelligence--to fulfil this it's mission and duty with steadfast boldness and fidel- iiy; to inspire in the ranks of those who think the same things concerning the Re. public an united, organized, determined, ouo PSAoA'pChI ACui, GC VIII AcW IcCEulLS from among those who have been enemies to the Democracy in the conflicts of a dead past and to marshal an unbroken pha- lanx to triumph at the ballot-box (the true battlefield of republics)of Liberty, Equal ity, and Law.
