TUyHE price of the Democratic Review has
heretofore been too high-not for its size,
cost and character, but for the means Of tens OF
thousands ofreaders 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, simutane-
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 subscriptions to as low as so cents or 80
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with buta comparatively small dimlnution
of its expenses involves, of course, entire sac
rhce 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 to be restored to its old number,
withoutncrease ofprce, when the anticipated sue
cess of the experiment shall justify it.
| The Portraits of Distinl uished Democrats will
be continued-engraved in better and more costly
style than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter, for any distance, be
only five and halt cents; it has heretofore, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
| We look for an extension OF circulation to be
compensation of this greatreductlon of price Ev.
ery 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 successfully through the crisis of this great
reduction Of Its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance Tor the coming
year will receive it, at the reduced rate for year
and half

Single copy, $500 Eight copies, $50,
Four copies, HOO Thirteen /" 5000
1t will thus be seen that when thirteen copies are
orderrd at once the price is brought down to about
So 80 each. For six months, half these rates.
These rates afford high inducements to agents
and others to interest themselves to procure SUBJ
cribers
The cash system and payment in advance must
be uncompromisingy 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 dispeased on
perencing its application, in the stoppage of their
numbers il they neglect this rule; the vital neces-
sty of which, at the presentreduced rates, must be
obvious to all.
No communications will be taken from the Post
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 arrangements with whom, as publisher
have reached their termination.

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 mezzotint Of extra size. II is most beau
tiful and interesting work, declared by Mr.. Van
Buren and others to give more perfectidea 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.
