DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

Greatly reduced price-from $5 to $3 yeal
Prospectus Of the nert (or 17th) Voiume
TyHE price of the Democratic Review has
E heretofore been too hgh-not for its size,
cost and character, but for the means of tens Of
tboIsssnds ofreaders who would be glad to receive
it. and among .-m Is highly highly desirable that it
should circulate For the purpose, therefore, ui
largely widening the range of its usefulness, and Of
multiplying the numbers of those to whom it may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultane-
ously with the great reduction in the expense of
the POSTAGE to reduce its subscription price also,
from Five to Three dollars; ;and when several unite
in subscription, to low as $50 cents or even 2 80
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but a comparatively small diminution
Of its expenses involves, of course an entire sac
rifice of profit upon it, unless compensated by a
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There will
be at the outset only small reduction in its num-
Der of pages sSon to be restored to its cid number,
without increase ofprice, when the anticipated sue
cess Of the experiment shall justify it.
The Portraits of Distins uished Democrats will
be acknowledgement in better and more costly
style than heretofore
The postage 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 great reduction of price. Ev-
cry friend of the work, and of the Democratic
principles and cause is confidently apr ealed to, to
exert himself with an active interest to procure it
subscribers; both to extend Its usefulness, and 10
carry il successfully 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 half.
TERMS HENCEFORWARD
(Iacdria5ly in dduance.)
Four copies, HOO Thirteen .. 3O,O
1t will thus be seen that when thirteen copies are
orderrd at once, the price is brought down to about
50 30 EACH For six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements TO agents
and others to interest themselves to procure SUBJ
scribers.
The cash system and payment in advance must
be uncompromisngy adhered to. The pastrelax-
alton of il has caused an accumulation of not far
from forty thousand dollars Of debts due to the
work. Hereafter this must be wholly reformed;
nor must either the most eminent political friend or
the most intimate personal one be dIspleased ex-
periencing its application in the stoppage of their
numbers, if they neglect this rule; the vital neces-
sity of which, at the presentreduced rates, must be
obvious to all.
NO communlcatons VIII be taken from the Fost
Office unless free of postage.
All communications, both on editorial and pub
fishing business, must be addressed henceforward
to the undersigned Those relating to the settle
ment of the past debts due the work will be still
addressed to Mr.. III. G.. Langley, 8 Astor House,
the past arrang ngements with whom, as publisher,
have reached their termination.

Last Likeness of General Jackson.
The admirable Daguerreotype Of General jack
son, taken by Anthony, Edwards, s. Co. a few
weeks before his death, has been purchased for the
use of the Democratic Review II is in the hands
of the artist, and will be engraved in the finest
style of mezzont OF extra size. II is most beau
tful and interesting work, declared by Mr.. 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 il as one Of the
regular series of Portraits.
