Whilst small number Of presses (which,
upon casual glance Of the reader, might
seem to be Democratic in their principles,(
are seeking the injury of the Madis0niaA by
quotations from each other, it is source of
great qualification to witness the favorable
notices which have been taken Of it by every
Democratic press of responsibility and stand
ing. "We cannot resist the conviction" that
the Madisonian speaks the sentiments of
three-fourths Of the Jackson Van Buren, party
Of the nation, and that its temperate and re-
spectful course, combined with the great
ability displayed in its editorial columns, will
ultimately make it the organ of the Govern
ment, as it is now of the people. In opposing
the Sub Treasury scheme of the loco fOcos,
and walking in the old beaten track Of the
Democratic party, it is treading in the foot
steps of the illustrious Jefferson and Jackson,
and preserving the original land marks of re-
pubicanism. The election Of its editor, Mr..
Allen, as Printer to the House Of Represent
atives, is great and glorious triumph of the
Democracy. Upon its course and the princi-
Piles of the conservative party in Congress,
the Democratic party is looking for its saliva
ton. They can never be induced to embrace
that scheme which was denounced by the
danger to the liberties Of the country, and
cherished by the Wings as their favorite pro-
ject Ii the Globe and its followers have
gone over to the support Of scheme which
that very print and its present advocates once
said would expose the /" peopie's money to the
plunder of an hundred hands where one could
not reach it" under the old system, we are
proud to find that the Madisonian sticks to its
integrity. Let the Globe and its kindred
prints rave on with their insinuations Of "de-
serters from the party"-the people are with
the Madisonian and will sustain it. The peo-
Pile are not yet so blind as not to discover that
it is the Globe and its advocates which have
"tacked about" and espoused the doctrines Of
Federalism, and that the Madisonian and Its
coadjutors throughout the Union, are contend
ing for those principles and measures upon
the success of which the Democratic party
depends for the maintenance Of its strength
Are the Democratic party OF Frederick
county disposed to stand as idle and indiffer-
ent spectators of the eternal ruin which few
disorganzing, radical demagogues are seek
ing to bring upon them! or are they willing
to lend their aid to preserve its pristine purity
and strength? We ask you IN the sober
eamestness of sincere and devoted democrats,
if you will lend your aid to preserve the de-
mocratic party from the baneful influence Of
destroying radicalism, then step forward, all
of you who can spare the means, and sub
scribe for the Madisonian and the Times.
This is most eventful period in our history.
The principles of Democracy are on the eve
of,being buried in the vortex of loco focoism.
The Times is the only true, consistent and
unwavering champion of pure Democracy in
this county, and the Madisonian its only
faithful representative at the seat of govern
ment This is not the period to he seduced
from your duty by the malignant and fiendish
opposition which has been manifested towards.
both parties by those unprincipled political
mountebanks who have raised their Hydra
heads among us. We have calmly and quietly
submitted to a repetition of the foulest abuse
relying upon the people for their protection
and support. The Madisonian, with many
other presses whose former labors have SO
often carried the democratic party to glorious
victories, have, like us, received the stings Of
envious malice, but generous people have
healed the wounds and added TO their strength.
Now is the period for every man who has at
any time fought in the Jackson ranks from the
holy influence of principle, to show his fealty
to Democratic doctrines. We fight for the
union Of the Democratic party and the main-
tenance of its National majority, by support
ing principles and measures pleasing to the
people, and no bribery or other influence
shall ever divert us from the path Of political
honesty and rectitude.
