PROPOSALS
Fur publishing WeekIy Newspaper in the City of WaF
linton, TO Je called the
Washington Examiner.

TINE advantages of Weekly Journal, published in
Il the Metropolis of the Union are 80 obvious that am
enlargement on them is deemed unnecessary. At pre-
sent no newspaper exists in Washington of which the
publication is not frequent than is adapted to the
convenience of considerable portion of the commu
nifty The present enterprise is calculated to meet the
deficiency. It's ject will be to promote the cause Of
morality and to difuse political and literary informs,
ton, and its columns will be cheerfuIly opened to dis
cussons connected with these important subjects whe
conducted with temperance and propriety On the
subject of politics the design being rather to exhibit
epitome of public affairs, than to attempt the minute
ness of chronicle, report of the debates i'll Con
gress is not promised; but an accurate and arranged
statement of the proceedings of both Houses will
guary appear, and in connexon the State Papers and
other public documents.
Although the Washington Examiner will be con.
Quoted in regard to and with the impair
TALLY which is essential to the beneficial operation Of
public Journal, the publisher thinks proper to ado
that his political sentiments unequivocaly and &C.
cidedly favorable to the present Administration.
This paper will be published by SINGLETON S. WAIE
Err, the first Saturday in January next, in she
containing eight quarto pages. 1t being desirable to
impart to the undertaking character of pcrmanen
utility and to render its contents easy of reference
is proposed to number the pages of each paper, an
to sub join to each volume an Alphabetical Index

carefully collected and arranged from the most author

From the Western (Ohio) Star. I

Misrepresentation Coryected.-Our Jackson
friends to the west pretend to believe that we
claim as regularly transferred to J. Q. Adams,
all the supporters of H. Clay in the Presidential
election. We can inform them that, so far as
they suppose an actual transfer, they have been
misled by their own notions of political integri
ty; but if this transfer be the natural conse-
quence of an identity Of principles as chiefly in
voved in the Presidential question, we can as
sure them that MIR. Clay not being candidate,
his friends must, from principle, prefer j. Q.
Adams to Gen. Jackson. II four Jackson neigh
bors could appreciate the maxim, 'spranciples,
not men," they would not be surprised at this
fact. The leading principles on which NJ
Clay was supported for the Presidency, (his ia
Tents and political information never having
been questioned, were his known sentiments in
favor Of the protection and encouragement Of
agriculture and domestic manufactures, and Of pro-
noting great system Of internal improvement
by roads and canals. MIR. Clay's arduous
and intense exer,ions in Congress for a series
of years, to establish these principles, upon
permanent basis, by Incorporating them
into our national policy, were believed by
his friends, in this particular, to give him
superior qualiho atoms over any other candidate
for the Presidency; and SO far as these princi-
Piles entered into the Presidential question, his
friends, when compelled to make second
choice, could not but prefer Mr.. Adams, who
was known to be friendly to the same interests,
before Gen. Jackson, who had given unequiv-
ocal evidence OF his opposition to them
This is, however, but one ground which leads
to necessary union under present circumstan-
ces, Mr.. G. being no candidate, between his
friends and those of MIR. Adams. We will
notice some other points which led to this re-
suit in as few words as possible: In the second
place, the friends Of MIR. Clay and Mr.. Adams
