TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

The portrait of John Quincy Adams, promised for the May No., has been executed in the most finished manner, and will appear in our next, together with a biographical sketch from a distinguished pen. That our subscribers may have confidence in the future character of the Review, if they have not already acquired it from what has gone before, we would here state that a body of the Whig Senators, including Messrs. Webster, Berrien, Mangum, Evans, Morehead, Crittenden, Archer, John M. Clayton, and several others, taking a deep interest in the work — as one long needed, capable of exerting a wide and beneficial influence for the advancement of every great interest of the country — voluntarily, a few days before the close of the last session, consulted together respecting its complete and powerful establishment, and pledged themselves to support it by monthly contributions — each engaging his attention for a month assigned. The consultation was earnest, and the public may expect those pledges to be fulfilled.
