The New Era

DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

The July number of this work has not been received at this office. Having complied with the conditions that entitle us to the Review for one year from June, we ask the publisher to fulfill his engagement which he has failed to do no doubt unintentionally. We have read this magazine so long and esteem it so highly that we cannot now do without it, and do not like to miss a single number.

We make the above extract from the Bangor, Maine, Democrat. We stand exactly in the same category with the Democrat, and have looked, anxiously, for the fulfilment of the contract on the part of the publishers of the Review. We are rather more intimately connected with the Review, too, than the editor of the Democrat, as we were the foreman of Messrs. Langtree & O'Sullivan, when they started the Review, and continued with them until the publication of its third volume. We have labored with hand and pen to give it extensive circulation, and we look upon it as a kind of right we have to claim that it be sent to us. Perhaps, but we hate to indulge the thought of so small a matter, that the Publisher has cut us off from his list, because we dared to differ with certain articles that appeared in the Review, which was not only derogatory to the character of that work, insulting to the public, but unjust to a distinguished individual, and we rebuked the spirit that dictated them with earnestness, and repelled the ungenerous attack. If that be the reason, and the Review claims to be the immaculate and sacred standard of democracy, whose edicts must not be questioned or reviewed, then is it unworthy longer to be looked to as the exponent of DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

We shall see.
