TFThis Special Offer is made to enable the
| Southern people to see for themselves how good
! a paper THE WORLD is and how worthy it il
I OF their support.
! On the Ist of May, 1856, the ownership and
! controle of THE WORLD passsd into the hands
Of the undersi Gned under whose absolute and
untrammeled dlrections THE WORLD has
| ever since remained and now remains
During the whole Of this time THE WORLD
| has labored patiently and perseveriugly for the
accomplishment OF two objects in politics of
paramount interest to the Southern people
I. The restoration Of Local SelfGovernment
7 at tho South.
II. A Real Reform of the Civil Service, in
| such wise az to destroy the political machines
under the OrperatiOn OF which it has come to
pass that the people are taxee to support politi
cal parties, whereas political parties have no
other reason OF being except to lessen the bur.
den ON the government
The first Of these objects have been triumph
antly accomplished. al intelligent Northen
men now admit that all parts OF tho country
were as deeply Interested as the South in seeing
it won A corrupt snd anti'Dcmocratic govern.
meut in tho South was a permanent peril to the
ascrndancy OF true American principles in the
Federal Government and therefore 7" tho peace
and hUuUi Uf tho " hole people.
The second political object for which THE
WORLD contends still remains to be fully ach-
ieved, The actual Administration began its
career with excellent promises III this direc.
ton OF which it is sufficient to say that they
have been as yet only in part redeemed. THE
WORLD for its part will resolutely support any
honest efforts to redeem these promises fully,
by whatsoever made, aud will as resoluteIy de.
dounce every Obstical thrown in the way of re-
jeemng them, from whatever quarter
1t seems to the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the cooperation of the best
men Of the South with The WORLD in its et-
believes The WORLD to be paper which
Southern citizens and Democrats can recon-
mend to Southern readers as al lntuece worthy
and important to be brought to bear with con
silently increasing power upon our national af.
airs, in the interest Of truth, of Justice aud of
rrnonv among our people of all sections.
1t is my desire to keep THE WORLD in a
lively relation with the best thoughts of the
South, to the end that tho best ideas. wishes
and feelings of the Southern people may be
clearly aud fairly known to the North. the East
and the West. Alike in private and in public
affairs the misunderstanding of men by one an
other lies at the root of 80 mnch evil that the
word itself has come to he synonym with
quarrelins and strife. It was wise saving of
Lord Elgin. at the time of one of our slarpest
disputes with Great Britain, that two inteli.
gent gentlemen alone OH a raft in tho Atlantic
with plenary power could adjust the whole mat
ter honOrably in an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at the
South to aid it in bringing about complete
meeting OF minds on all public questions be-
tween the Intelligent citizen Of all part of the
Union, WILLIAM HENRY HURLBERT.
