IN the memorable year Of 1857, this Review
has ever taken al active, and, it is believed,

principles to which twas devoted could alone
afford motive for its continuance at so much
unrequitted expenditure of both money, time
and Intellectual effort. Its Publisher now

the ranks OF our opponents, and douhtlers to
be sustained by the overfowing means posses

character, it thus holds out the prospect of an
! honorable rivalry, which the Democratic Re
view cheerfully accepts, but which the Dem.

! OF Its good, great and glorious principles
The way to serve it, and to aid in that pur.
pose, is, at once to remit promptly the debts
which are its ust and well earned due, and
take some degree ofactive interest to procure
