nrMncpATIC REvIEW.

Greatly reduced price-from 50 10 S3 year
Prospectus Of henert (or mn pot'nae
gEyHE price of the Democratic Review has
E heretofore been too hgh-not for its size,
cost and character, but for the means of tens ot
thousands ofreaders who would be glad to rec eve
it, and among whom it is highly desirable that II
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, oi
largely widening the range of it, usefulness, aud oil
multiplying the numbers of those 10 whom 1t may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultane-
ousy with the great reduction in the expense of
the postage, 10 reduce its subscription price also,
from Five to Three dollars;a ;and when several unite
in subscription, to as low as 2,5o cents or even 2,o
per annuin.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small dinnutlon
Of its expenses,) involves, of course, an entire sac
ritice of profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There viii
be at the outset only small reduction IN its num-
Der of pages sDon to be restored 10 its old number,
without increase of price, when the anticipated sue
cess OF the experiment shall justify it.
The Portraits of Dstins uished Democrats will
be continued--enEraved in better aud more costly
style than heretofore.
The pos tage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only five and half cents; it has heretofore, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension OF circulation to be
reckoned by tens of thousands, as the result and
compensation of this greatreductIon of price by-
cry friend of the work. and of the Democrat;
principles and cause, is confidently apr ealed to, to
exert himself with an active interest to procure 1t
subscribers; both to extend Its usefulness, and TO
carry it successfully through the crisis of this great
reduction of Its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
wear will receive it, at the reduced rate for year
and a half
TERMS HENCEFORWARD.
(LararioJly an .Adraace.)
Single copy, $500 Eight copies, $4,000
Four copies, 100 Thirteen :" 5000
1t will thus be seen that when thirteen copies are
orderrd at once the price is brought down to about
50 80 each. For six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements TO agents
and others TO interest themselves to procure sub
scribers.
The cash system and payment in advance must
be uncompromisngly adhered to. The past relax
alton of i, has caused an accumulation OF not lar
from forty thousand dollars of debts due to the
work. Hereafter this must be wholyreiormed;
nor must either the most eminent political irehd, or
the most intimate personal one, be dispeased on eX-
periencng its application in the stoppage of their
numbers, if they neglect this rule; the vital neces-
sity of which, at the present reduced rates, must be
obvious to all.
No communications will be taken from the Post
Office unless free of postage.
All communications, both on edltoria! and pub
fishing business, must be addressed henceforward
to the undersigned. Those relating to the settle
me:t of the past debts due the work will be still
addressed to MIR II. G. Langley, 8 Astor House,
the past arran gements with whom, as publisher,
have reached their termination.

Last Likenss Of General Jackson.
The admirable Daguerreotype of General jack
son, taken by Anthony, Edwards, & Co. a few
weeks before his death, has been purchased for the
use of the Democratic Review. Il is in the hands
of the artist, and will be engraved in the finest
style of mezzolnt OF extra size. II lis most beau
tifu and interesting work, declared by MIR. Van
Buren and others to give more perfect idea ofthe
good and great old man than ary other likeness;
and ought to be possessed and framed by evey
friend who loves or reveres his memory. Those
who subscribe early will receive it as one Of the
regular series of Portraits.
