SINGLE COPIES TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.


The Twenty.Fihh Volume of the Drw.
oCRATIc REVIEW proceeds to its readers
under different auspices from those which
have smiled upon its progress hitherto.
New arrangements have become necessa.
ry, internally, as well as renewed exer.
tions 10 promote ITS welfare externally.
The unfortunate divisions Of the partv
have resulted in a reverse more seyere
than any that has been experienced for
many terms. The outgoing administra.
tion leaves the country in every position
politically, territorially, commercially,
and financially, more renowned, more
extended, more prosperous, and in higher
credit than it had ever before attained.
The prosperity which prevndes the coun>
try, and the glory that surrounds its flag
and mainly. if not intirely, due 10 those
sound principals clearly recognized by an
American public, and carried to their ful,
fiment through TO the steady loyalty OF
The Democratic Party.
That schsms have been created bv de.
signing men, as dangerous to party ascen.
dency as TO national welfare, affords add.
Iional reasons for more rigorous exertions.
the cultivation Of spirit of forbearance,
and that selfsacri6cing patriotism which
has for so long period been disting.
ushed feature Of Democracy. For what.
ever Of evil may spring from federal
ascendency, those who defeated the Dem
ocralic party by heartless diserlion iu its
hour Of trial must be held accountable;
and we doubt not that November, 1852,
will witness n retribulion that will be more
terrible to false friends than to open foes,
The accustomed features Of the Review
will be continued, including, Portraits and
Biographies o distinguished Democrats-
men whose patriotic principals and stead.
ness Of purpose have won the confidence
Of The people.
We have TO remind our readers that the
low terms on which we furnish the Re.
view makes it indispensable that the pay,
mer e the subscri ptions should be in
ADVANCE; and that the expenditures in.
Cured to improve the work can be met
only by the prompt remittance of sub.
scripion.

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE.
Edited by Ann S Stephens, and ChGs. J Peterson.
FOR 1850, the subscriber, anxious TO
introduce the Magazine into every family
in the United States, will increase its size
and reduce its price 10 Clubs.
SAvEA DOLLAR.
The price Of this Magazine is but Two
DOLLARS per year; or One Dollar less
than the other Magazines yet the Press
unanimously pronounce it as complete as
its more costly contemporaries. When
Club sends $40 or $40, the Ladies Nation.
al can be had for little over Dollar per
copy!
Increase in Pages Monthly.
In 1850, at least Twelve Extra Pages
will be gwen every Month; and sometimes
Twenty.four thus it will contain the reg
ular number Of pages of The three dollar
magazines, at one third less price. 1t will
therefore, be the cheapest of American
Periodicals.
Illuminated in Gold.
The January number will be out by the
lst of December, and will be unequaled
in beauty, Ia addition to the usual En-
belishmenis, will be an Illuminated Title
page, printed in seven colors, on a ground
of gold. Ia other respects, also, the Janu-
ary number for 1850, will excel anything
we have ever published.
Eminent Literary Writers.
The Literary contents of the Ladies
National are entirely by American authors.
The best writers are uniformly employed,
and the consequence is, that the newspa'
per press, which has good opportunity Oi
comparing the Magazines, generally pro-
nOunce this Periodical the most readable
of all. No translation from immoral
French Authors, such as appear in other
Magazines, shall deface the pages OF
The Ladies National. Our aim is to
instruct, as well as to amuse.
Fashions Ahead Of all Oilers.
This Magazine has always been the
guide of the Fashions, which we get in
advance. The costumes are selected,
engraved, and colored for us month
ahead Of all rivals. TO each Plate is
added full letter press description, be-
sides Information on all the late styles. No
lady, much less a professional dress.maker
could be without thus work. This Maga,
zine is in our Eastern cities, the TEXT BOOK
of Fashion, and all the other magazines,
in their fashion department, are but poor
mutations OF this.
Best Ladies' Magazine.
As its name imports, this Periodical is
peculiarly magazine for the sex; and il is
a'so what none others are, thoroughly
National Its Stories of Domestic life, its
Tales of the Revolution, and the general
aim of its Literature render il more Amer
lean than any rival. Its monthly pages on
Horticulture, its illustrated articles on
Embroidery, CIR tchet work, and Netting,
in addlli to its coIored Fashion Plates,
make it unquesiionably the best magazine
for Ladies Our series Of Mezzo intz, in
