PROSPECTUS TO THE NEW VOLUME OF THE U. STATES MAUAZIXE AND DEMOCRATIC REVIEW. , Volume xi. Commencing July, 1842. John L. O'Sullivan. Editor. By an increase in the number of pages, and by an alteration in its ty- pographical arrangements, the quan tity of matter heretofore furnished to the readers of the Democratic lie- view, will be increased in its future numbers about seventy-five per cent. The Editor expects valuable aid to bis own efforts, during the course of the coming year, from a number ol the most able pens of the great Dem ; ocratic Party together with that of others, in its purely literary depart ' ment, to which the same political de ' iignation is not to be applied. Among them may be particularly nnmed: Eancroft, J. F. Cooper, Amos Ken dall. Whittier, Sedgwick, Gilpin, But- ler, Parke Godwin, Hawthorne, Dt- vezac, Paulding, A. H. Everett. Brownson, Cambreleng, J. L. Ste- - phens, Tilden, Tasistro, Enmes, Bry ant, Cass, C. J. Ingersoll. - The Monthly Financial and Com metcial articles, which have frequent ly been pronounced by the most in telligent criticisms during the past year in themselves alone worth the subscription to the work, will be con tinued from the same able hnnd. An arrangement has been made by which the Boston Quarterly lir.view, edited by Mr. Brownson, will be merged in the Demicrnlic Review, the latter being furnished to the sub soiibers of the former, and Mr. Brownson being a frequent and regu lar contributot (o its paes. It is proper to state that Mr. Brownson's articles will be marked by his name; though to most readers they would doubtless reveal themselves by their internal evidence; and that it has been agreed, under the circumstances, that these contributions shall be inde pendent of the usual liability to edito rial revision and control the author alone having a similar responsibility for whatever peculiarity of views they ' may contain, as though appearing in ' the original work which has been heretofore edited with such distin guished ability by himself. Among other attractive pnpers in preparation for the forthcoming vol ume, will be found some personal . sketches, reminiscences, and anec dotes of the private life of General Jackson, from the pen of an intimate friend and member of his Cabinet. The Portraits with which it is in tended to iliustratc the numbers of the ensuing year, and which will be exe cuted in a fine style of engraving, by "J. L. Dick, of this city, are those of Col. R. M. Johnson, of Kentucky, Hon. Silas Wright, of X. York. " James Buchanan, of Penn.. " J C. Calhoun, of S. Carolina, 44 T. II. Benton, of Missouri, " R. J.

Dorr, of Rhode Island, " Porter, of Pennsylvania, With two or three of the most emi nent members of the great Liberal Party of Europe, from different coun tries; or else of others of "home pro duction,"' according to the facility of procuring portraits from abroad.

ARTHUR. 7 Author of"Insubordination,n "The Tem perance Pledge" Sfc. 4"c The most distinciive feature of the present age, is the Temperance Re formation. This unparalleled move ment has wrought the most remarka ble changes, not only in the condi tion of individuals, but aUo in the state of society. Its progress has been a continual series of triumphs over prejudice, fully, vice, wicked ness and crime; and its results have been of the most cheering and glori ous character. All the social, domes tic and political relations which men occupy have already felt and ac knowledged its influence; and, with banners streaming in light, it is march in? onward to fresh scenes of victory, and preparing for fresh achievements of happiness restored, industry re awakened, and lost reputation nobly redeemed. Among the most efficient nuxi'la ries in this great cause, the various so cieties of reformed drinkers have been pre-eminent. From these it has re ceived an impulse by which its pro gress has been almost inconceivably accelerated. The efforts of those de voted men, who having passed through the fiery orde:il of this debas ing vice, feel and know the torture and the misery it inflicts, to rescue others from the wretchedness they have lhamselvcs suffered, have slur red society throughout the length and breadth of this vast counlrv; and thousands and tens of thousands, re ,j ,i :,, i iuj i :.,.,;,, ,. ;., ;.,; .,r,A i,.,ti. nrA j purified hearts, the advantages ol their magnanimous enterprise. To aid in this moral revolution, the subsciibers have commenced the pub lication of a series of original Tem perance Tides, to be issued in 6 month ly numbers.' These tales are from the pen of A. S. Arthur, a writer lifted with a singular felicity in por tray ins the scenes of actual life, and prompted, ns his numerous produc tions bear witness, by a sinceie spirit of doing good to his fellow-men. Their title, '-Six nights with the i W lsliiniiloni o s Ptnrioi tnilv .:. !ln,i A,..:n, n. ,i ' I r j f,.m 0,..i ,.Cr.,,.r. ,'.t i even,s amontf lhe ,nem'ier. f the iw.-iihintonian Temperance Socie- ty," the great pioneers of this world renowned reform and detail the his tories f snme of those who have been snved from destruction worse than death by the well-directed labors of those true philanthropists. Each number of this publication will contain a distinct story or sti ries, and therefore be perfect in itself, and ihe whole, when completed, will form a volume of nearly two hundred pages, embracing narratives of mnny individuals, in all classes of society, the mechanic, the professional man, and the merchant who have been re claimed from intemperance. The field thus selected is a houndantly fruitful. The violence of passion the depths of self-abasement the bit terness of remorse the rnin, bodily and spiritual exhibited in the wretch ed inebriate himself; and the anguish of protracted sulleiing the agon' ol devoted ntlection the tenderness ol unrequited, but undiminisliing zeal the love that bears all and forbears all, but too often seen in the family circle, which surrounds him furnish themes which, in the bands of one who perceives so clearlv, and de scribes so powerfully as Mr. Arthur, cannot fail to prove of the highest in terest. 1 hut the publication ol ihese tales will do good the subscribers en tertain no doubt. To those who have not fallen into the degrading slavery of strong drink, the scenes porUayed will oiler fresh inducements to avoid the tearful temptation; to those who have abandoned themselves to its maddening influences they will point out a path by which they may flee from the horrible curse they have in voked; and toal! they will show that, to the self-sacrificing ed'orts of a band of humble and unpretending men, voluntarily associated, the country, the world, and the age, are indebted for a reform, nue honorable in it sell, and destined to be more perma nently beneficial in its consetuences,f than the prouuesi achievements o war, or the most dazzeliug attain ments ol science. These Temperance Tales will be issued in numbers containing thirty two pages each, printed with a clear, bold type, on good paper, and neatly done up in a suitable cover. They will, in transportation by the mails, be subject only to the ordinary post age on periodical. Address L. A. Godt and Mortom M'Michakl, Publisher;'. Uiill, (01 Chestnut st. Tkrms.

The work will be devoted especially to the ladies, and will be issued in a style never before attempted in the country. ' It will contain articles trom the most popular and pleasing writers of the day, on every variety of subject, but the work will be in the main devoted to the cultivation of the home virtues. Hence most of the stories will be of a practical, do mestic character, from the pens of our best female writers, while the earliest fashions in all their varieties shall be correctly given; so as to make the work welcome at every fire side, in the halls of ihe fashiona ble and the gny the home fr the virtuous matron, whose own neeSle supplies her raiment, as well as in the store and sewing room of the mantua maker and milliner.

The advantage of this to every lady, who makes taste in dress the least matter of life, will at once be apparent, and to the profes sional dress maker and milliner of the United States, the enterprise will be of incalculable advantage. It is pio posed to issue every month a number and variety of costume, which w ill put to the blush every thins in the way of monthly reports of the Fash ions heretofore attempted. For this purpose the publisher lias embarked tae most ample means and resources in the enteprise, and has matured bis plans both in this coun try and in Europe, prior to com mencement. It has been a favoiite project, and has been deliberately undertaken, and will le canied through vigorously. The first num ber gives an idea of the beauty and real excellence of the pl.ttes. Elegant Steel Engravings. In order to render the work orna mental in the highest degree, and to make it a perfect parlor companion, and an ornament to the centre table. as well ns entertaining in its literal j ture, and nseful in the style of the , fisliion plates, it is proposed to issue the most elegant Steel and Mezzo- tint engravings from -the first artists I in the country, illustrated by choice and entertaining stories ot domestic I life. To vary the style of illustra tions, occasional Lace Patterns and Embroidery, got out in unsurpassed beauty and truili, by that excellent artist, F.

The work will be printed on clear and beautiful type, on a page larger than any of the present three dollar Magazines, with fine margin, an I strong, white paper, and will contain ns much matter as can be compress ed into thirty two large octavo pages. 7iwifl of Delivery.
