DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

Greatly reduced price-from So to SO yeai
Prospectus Of the nert (or 17th) poltnie
UNHE price of the Democratic Review has
III heretofore been too high-not for its size,
cost and character, but for the means of tens of
thousands of readers who would be glad to receive
it, and among whom it is highly desirable that it
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, of
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 doars;and when several unite
in subscription, to low $50 cents even 80
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with buta comparatively small dmin ution
of its expenses involves, of course, entire sac
rfce of profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There will
be at the outset only small reduction in its num-
ber of pages ,on to be restored to its old number,
without increase of price, 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; il 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 oi t1is Sreatreuucuoh oi price LV-
cry friend of the work, and of the Democratic
principles and cause, is confidently apr eaed to, to
exert himself with all active interest to procure it
subscribers both to extend ITS usefulness, and to
carry 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

It will thus be seen that when thirteen copies
orderrd at once, the price brought down to about
So so each. For six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements to agents
and oshers to interest themselves to procure sub
scrbers.
The cash system and payment in advance must
be uncompromisingly adhered to. The pastrelax-
alton of il has caused an accumulation Of not far
from forty thousand dollars of debts due to the

nor must either the most eminent political friend ,or
the most intimate personal one be dlspleased on ex
periencing its application, in the soppage Of their
numbers, ifthey neglect this rule; the vital neces-
sity of which, at the Sresentreduced rates. must be
obvious to all.

Last Likeness of General Jackson.
The admirable Daguerreotype of General Jack
son, taken by Anthony, Edwards, & Co. 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 mezzo,int OF extra size. II is most beau
tiful and interesting work, declared by Mr.. Van
Buren and others to give more perfect idea ofthe
good and great old man than a'y other likeness;
aud ought to be possessed and framed by evey
friend who loves reveres his memory. Those
who subscribe early will receive i, as one of the
regular series of Portraits.
