By an increase in the number Of pages, and by an
alteration in its typographical arrangements, the
quantity of matter heretofore furnished to the rea-
ers of the Democratic Review will be increased in
its future numbers about
SEvENTY-FlvE PER CENT.
The Editor expects valuable aid to his own efforts
during the coutse of the coming year, from num-
Der Of the most able pens Of the great Democratic
Party together with that of others, in lis purely
literary department, to which the same political des-
ignation is not TO be applied. Among them may
be particularly named;

ces, which have frequently been pronounced by the
most intelligent criticisms during the past year in

will be continued from the same able-hand.
Boston Quarterly Regie,c, edited by Mr. BaowN-
SON, will be merged in the Democratic Review the
latter being frequent and regular contributor to
its pages. II is proper to state, that Mr. Brown
sons articles will be marked by his name though
to most readers they would doubtless reveal them
selves by their internal evidence; and that it has
been agreed, under the circumstance, that these
contributions shall be independent of the usual LA
bility to editorial revision and contro-the author
alone having a similar responsibility for whatever
peculiarly of views they may contain, as though

Our opinions on this subject have already been
expressed. We are entirely content TO let the pub
tic mind work its way and come TO its own conclu.
SION. We are convinced, that we can neither have
sound currency, nor state Of heathful prosperi-

competition Of the pauper labour of Europe. Others
may think as they please-but we have no doubt.
