John l.. O'SuHiUan, Editor.
By an increase in the number OF
pages, and by an alteration in its IT,
biographical arrangements, the guam
tity ofmatter heretofore furnished 10
the readers of the Democratic Re-
view, will be increased in lis future
numbers about se~venty-fve per cent.
The Editor expects valuable aid to
his own efforts, during the course OF
the coming year, from a number OF
the most able pens of the great Dem
ocralic Party-together with that OF
others, in its purely literary depart
ment, to which the same political de-
signation is not to be applied. Among
them may be particularly named:-
Bancroft, J. F. Cooper. Amos Ken
dali, Whittier, Sedgwick, Gilpin, But
Ter, Parke Goodwin, Hawthorne, Da-
vezac, Paulding, A. H. Everett,
Brownson, Cambreleng, j. L. Ste
phens, Tilden, Tasisiro. Eames, Bry-
ant. Cass, C. ]. Ingersoll.
The Monthly Financial and Com
metcial articles, which have frequent
ly been pronounced by the most in
tel!igent criticisms during the past
year in themselves alone worth the
subscription TO the work, will be con-
tinued from the same able hand.
An arrangement has been made by
which the Boston Quarterly Esrier.
edited by Mr.. Brownson, will be
merged in the Democratic Review.
the latter being furnished to the sub.
scribers Of the former, and Mr..
Brownson being a frequent and regu-
lar contributor to lis pages. 1t is
proper to state that Mr.. Brownson's
articles will be marked by his name;
though to most readers they would
doubtless reveal themselves by their
internal evidence: and that it has
been agreed, underline circumstances,
that these contributions shall be indie
pendent Of the usual liability to edito-
rial revision and control-lhe author
alone having a similar responsibility
for whatever popularity of views they
may contain, as though appearing in
the original work which has been
heretofore edited with such distin-
guished ability by himself.
Among other attractive papers in
preparation for the forthcoming VOL
ume, will be found some personal
s etches, "reminiscences, and anec-
d,tes of the private life of General
:. tckson, from the pen of an intimate
I end and member of his Cabinet.
