DEMOCRATIC REVIEW

BY an increase in the number OF pages,
and by an alteration in its Typographical
arrangements, the quantity OF mailer
heretofore furnished TO the readers OF inc
Democratic Review, will be increased In
its future numbers about Serenty-Jtue per
cent.
The Editor expects valuable AID to MS
own efforts, during the course OF the com
ing year, from number of the most able
pens Of the great Democratic Parfy-to-
gcther with that of others, in its purely
literary department, TO which the same
political designation is not to be applied.
Among them may be particularly named:
Bancroft, J. F. Cooper, Amos Kendall,
Whittier, Sedgwick, Gllpin, Butler, Parke
Goodwin, Hawthorne, Davezac, Paulding,
A. H. Everett, Brownson, Cambreleng,
J. l.. Stephens, Tilden, Tasistro, Eames,
Bryant, Cass, C. J. lngersoll, Miss Sedge-
wick.
The monthly Financial and Commercial
articles, which have frequently been pro-
nounced by the most intelligent criticisms
during the past year in themselves alone
worth the subscription to the work, VIII
be continued from the same able hand.
An arrangement has been made, by
which the BosToN QUARTERLY REVIEW,
edited by Mr.. Bronson, will be merged
in the Democratic Review, the latter be-
ing furnished to the subscribers Of the Tor
mer, and Mr.. Brownson being frequent
and regular contributor to its pages. IL
is proper to state, that Mr.. Brownson's ar
,icles will be marked by his name-tho'
to most readers they would doubtless re-
veal themselves by their internal evil
dence; and that it has been agreed undes
the circumstances that these contributions
shall be independent of the usual liabill-
ties to editorial revision and eontrol-the
author alone having similar response
biity for whatever peculiarly Of view
they may contain, as though appearing in
the original work, which has been hereto
fore edited with such distinguished ability
by himself
Among other attractive papers in prepa,
ration Tor the forthcoming volume, will be
found some personal sketches, reminiscen-
ces, and anecdotes Of the private lite OF
General jackson, from the pen of an inti-
mate friend and member of his Cabinet.

to illustrate the numbers of the ensuing
year, and which will be executed in fine
style of engraving, by J. l.. Dick, of this
city, are those Of Col. r. M. johnson, OF
Kentucky, Hon. Silas Wright, of New
York, Hon. james Buchanan, OF Pemsyl-
vania. Hon. ]. G. Calhoun, Of South Caro-
lima, Hon, Il. II. Benton, of M issouri,
lion. r. J. Walker, of Mississippi, Hon.

C. Cambreleng, of New York, Hon. Gov.
Dorr, OF Rhope Island, Hon. Gov. Porter,
of Pennsylvania; withtwo or three OF the
