DEMOCRATIC. REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE-FROM IS TO So PEP
ANNUM
SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME
TIME price of the DEMocRATic REVIEW has
i heretofore been too high-not for its size cost,
and character, but for the means Of tens Of thou
sands of readers who would be glad to receive it,
and among whom it is highly desirable that il
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, Of
largely widening the range of its usefulness and of
multiplying the numbers Of those to whom il may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense of the
postage to reduce its subscription price also, from
fire to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription, TO as low as S2 50, or even to " 30
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small diminuton
of its expenses involves, of course, entire sacri-
fee of profit upon il, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of It's subscribers There will be
the outset only small reduction in its number OF
pages to be restored to lis old number, with
oui increase of price, when the anticipated success
of the experiment shall justify it.
The portraits of distinguished democrats will be
continued, engraved in better and more costly style
than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only five and half cents it has heretofore been, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents. &
We look for an extension of circulation TO be
reckoned by tens Of thousands, the result and COM
pensation Of this great reduction Of price. Every
friend of the work. and of the democratic principles
and cause, is confidently appealed to, to exert him
self with active interest to procure 1t subscribers
both to extend its usefulness and to carry it
cessfuly through the crisis of this great reduction Of
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for year
and a half.
