UNHE 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 il 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 dollars ;and when several unite
in subscription, to as low $50 cents or even 80
per annum.
This very large reductioni in the receipts (accom-
panied with but "a comparatively small dminution
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-
ber of pages; to be restoredto 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 continued-engrave 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 greatreduction of price Ev.
ery friend of the work. and of the Democratic
principles and cause, is confidently apr called to, to
exert himself with an 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. .-.LL sr'y
TERMS HENCEFORWARD.
Invariably in Aduance.)
Single COPY, $500 Eight copies, $1,000
Four copies, HOO Thirteen g 5000
1t will thus be seen that when thirteen copies are
orderrd at once, the price 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
scrbers. 5.e
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
work. Hereafter this must be wholly reformed;
nor must either the most eminent political friend ,or
the most intimate personal one, be dIspeased on ex-
periencing its application, in the stoppage of their
numbers ifthey neglect this rule; the vital neces-
sity of which, at the presentreduced rates. must be
obvious to all. l.t
No communications will be taken from the Post
Office unless freeof postage. .si ,n -.
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, Astor House,
the past arrangements with whom, as publisher,
have reached their termination. - ii-,if
