Particular Notice.

A the instance offriends, we have sent out be-
"a yond the usual issue, six thousand full sets of
the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW, for the year 1859,
to leading citizens in various parts of the country.
Those who do not wish to retain them, will oblige
us by passing them to some progressive friend
who may be favorable to the progressive doctrines
of the Democratic party. The sum of FIVE DOL
will be received in such cases as payment for
1852 and 1858.
The Review is now undergoing new business ar
range ents. The next will be u triple number
issued Immediately after the Inauguration, and
will contain fun exposition of the policy of the
incoming administration.
This notice is given 20 prevent impositions on
our friends by designing mel. We can give every
assurance that the Democratic Review is in . fair
way ofiiving much longer than any other review
or magazine in the world. And whether in the
hands of its present managers or not it viii al
ways pursue the path it has pursued in 1853. and
advocate the doctrines of the Progressive Demo
cratic School, and none other.
Though rarely up to date, but never behind
time. Tie present number, concluding the vol
un1e, contains sixty more pages than we owe our
subscribers for the year 1862. The excess is, how
ever, but small expression of our goodwill to the
warm-hearted Young Democracy who have cheer
ed us on in the difficult but inspiring career which
opened before us in the commencementof our great
work.
