Tive nty-ninth Volume Of the Democratic Review,
and consequently the fifteenth year of its exi-

fruitful medium through which the concentrated
intellectual energies of the friends of the popular
cause have been given to the public. Il has nni-

As long as the Democratic party reinained
united 1t triumphed, and Sustained those earii-.
nal doctrines of political faith, with which the
cause of the people of every age and country, is
identified. By applying those doctrines TO the
government, the country Prospered at home and
triumphed abroad, increasing in material wealth,
and rising in the scale of nations. The division
of the party, bringing With it defeat, has subiec

the campaign of 1852, it is necessary TO the cause
of human freedom and the prevalence of soH GO

should regain its ascendancy. For this purpose
every citizen ought to exert himself regardless of

The Review, in order to bring 1t within the
reach of all, has been placed at the lowest posi-

anything: you seem to forget the cause of
this alienation: you overlook the provoca-
