TyHE Sixteenth Volume of the Democratic
u Review commences with the present
number. The Publisher cannot omit the oc-
casion it affords, to congratulate its readers
and friends, upon the great victory recently
achieved by the cause of their common prin-
ciples; a victory not less important in its con-
sequences, than glorious in its triumph, after
the unprecedented severity of the recent
contest of parties. Originally established at
period of the deepest depression Of the
Democratic cause, in the memorable year of
1887, this Review has ever taken an active,
and, it is believed, not ineffective part, in
the long and keenly contested battles of OPT
Mon, by which the country has been ever
since more or less deeply agitated. Having
freely shared the worst disasters, the gloom
lest depressisns, may it mot fairly be allowed
to ask and hope to share now the benefit Of
the triumph and prosperity, of the Democracy
of the country? 1t has sustained itself
through considerable portions of that period,
only by large pecuniary sacrifices caused by
the .delinquencies of too many of its sub
scribsrs-through seasons when zeal for the
principles to which it was devoted could
alone afford motive for its continuance at
so much unrequitted expenditure Of both
money. time and intellectual effort. It's Pub
Usher now feels fairly entitled 10 invoke an
active and generous friendliness of support,
on the part of its subscribers and the intelli-
gent members of its Party generally, for its
support. Our opponents have recently or
ganized extensive arrangements for the es-
tablishment of a similar work on the other
side of our great division Of parties" to
counteract," as it is said, " the pernicioul
influence of the Democratic Review" Els.
tablished under imposing auspices of eminent
political and literary names in the ranks oi
our opponents, and doubtless TO be sustained
by the overhowing means possessed by thai
party, to sustain work of that character, il
thus holds out the prospect of an honorable
rivalry, which the Democratic Review cheer
fully accepts, but which the Democratic par
ty must literally contribute to enable it tc
maintain, in manner worthy of that party
and of its good, great and glorious princi
pies. The way to serve it, and to aid in this
purpose, is, at once to remit promptly the
debts which are its just and wel-earned due
and to take some degree of active Interest
to procure it additional aduance- e-paying sub
scribers.
