THE MADISONIAN.

This is the title Of new democratic Jour
nal recently established at Washington, d. e.
to be published semi weekly. We have re-
ccived the first number, and find its columns
well filed with editorial articles, which cx-
hibit talents Of high order and sound politi-
cal principles the prevalence and per-
pctulty of which depends the ascendancy Of
our party and the welfare of our country 1t
is edited by Thomas ALLEN, ESQ. of Pitts
field, Mass. worthy young lawyer, recently
of New York. and an old friend and school
fellow of ourselves. The paper is about the
size Of The Globe, handsomely printed, and in
every particular appears worthy the countc-
nance and support of the honest and disin'e
rested Democracy of the country With such
prime pies and sentiments as pcrvadc the num-
Der before us, the labors Of the Madisonian to
sustain genuine Democracy and to promote
the public welfare, cannot but be acceptable,
and we welcome our brother to the field.
In the leading editorial article we find the
following excellent sentiments, which cores
ponds most sirikinglv with those that we have
cndcavorcd to incucatr, and which we firmly
believe to be entertained by great majority
OF the respectable and useful members Of So
ciety in our country .-IiarIlord (Ci) Patriot

THE "MADlSONlAN."

We have lust received the first number Of
this paper, established in Washington, through
the Editor and Proprietor, Thomas ALLEN,
Esq. Although we have had time only to
give it a hasty pcrusal, VIC arc highly pleased
with its elegant appearance as well as the
matter it contains. While it Processes to sup
port the Administration, it repndiates the
chmcrical scheme Of an exclusive metallic
currency 1t adopts the language and policy
Of Mr.. Tallmadse, "prcscrve and regulate, but
not destroy the credit system" which us the
distinguishing feature between dcspotism and
liberty" 1t is the credit system which has
given spring and success to enterprise, and
has enabled us nation TO advance with
such unparalleled rapid!ty to wealth and pros
pcrity Let every cxer,ion be made to iniuse
among us Il greater AMOUNT Of specie, but the
annihilation of a system ITSELF "entwined rs
it were with the business of the country, and
identified with every interes, in the States
and the substitution of an exclusive metallic
currency, we believe would be surrender,
in effect of our present advanced civilization,
and a revolution Of the most dcsolating charac-
ter, sacrificing every class Of society to those
who I" live upon salaries and interest
This is a brief view Of some of the leading
sentiments which will guide the course of the
MApIsoNl.N. 1t will honestly advocate the
Improvement and prosperity Of the nation,
without being fcttered by party considerations
-cspousng rational democracy, as far re-
moved from loco-focosm rs from aristocracy.
1t will favor banking system SO far as it may
consist with the prosperity Of the nation, and
no further. We cannot help wishing an ex-
tensivc circulation Of paper which promises
so much valuable information, and which will
take so correct view Of tho business as well
as political affairs Of the nation.-Bel(ast

But there is to be no trading and specializing

ment in favor OF the Sub-Treasury system.

the people to pay their debts, public or private,
