THE MADlsoNiAN.-Wc had intended for our last
weeks paper the article below calling the attention Of
our readers to the prospectus Of the Madisonan We
have received two numbers OF that paper and we are
highly pleased with its appearance, well the ability
! and talents with which it is cohduced. And we
truly commend 1t to our friends journal devoted TO
the interests Of tho Republican party and worthy Of
their support A few OF our friends IN this vicinity, who
have had opportunity of examining It, have expressed
their decided appreciation that such journal has been
established the seat Of Government, and have
| their names subscribers.
We sorry that VIC cannot present readers with
articles from that paper that we mad intended this
weekwe shall have occasion hereafter TO give extracts
from il, and shall not be backward in so doing.
THE MADIsoNIAN,
Dcroted 10 The support of the measures and policy ef
the Republican parry IN Congress.
We have withheld the prospectus Of this ns1 organ
Of the Republican party from columns, untf we
nigh, be enabled to ascertain and with, clear
readers, the real designs Of its institution
1t will be recolectcd that its frat appearance, It met
with quite unacceptable reception from both the Globe
and Enquirer account Of its being openly charged by
the former, with covert purpose OF sustaining the esta-
blishmcnt Of national bank This injurious inucndo,
based, as il seemed on evidence whatsoever but
merely sprnging from vague and jealous conjecture,
has extensively served its purpose regret to say IN
drawing down upon this project from many democratic
presses the Remuneration OF its being "A Wing
trick" With clear discernmcnt. part, of the
many that exist for the establishment OF another
Republican organ at the Of Government, and being
at loss to account for the motives OF this charge we
desired through sense OF justice, to make enquiries IN
the proper quarter with view Of ascerainng its cor
rectness. We could not ungencrously credit such
rumor without some evidence Of its authenticity.
The result OF these enquiries, enables to assure
the public that there is the slightest cause to sus-
pect Mr. Allen in this undertaking, of any other designs,
than those which he frankly avows in bis Prospectus;
and, least oil ALL OF any favor towards national bank
We rely with the utmost confidence on the perfect SIN
cerity with which he has made, and the fidelity with
which he will redeem his plcdge"to represent faith
fully, and not 10 dctae the real policy OF the admins
traton and the true sentiments measures and interests
of the great body of its supporters" 1t is well known,
that the great body Of the Republican party in New
York. have sgnalizcd in recent manifestations, their
resistance to the policy of abandonment by
the general government Of the State banks, and colec
ton of all its revenues in the precious metals Il
believed that such policy would conduct to three
prominent results either Of which would be sufficient
to consign it to public rcprobaon
LIST a wrongful, and eyasperatlng discrimination be-
| tween me currency Of THE GOVERNMENT, and the cur
r.ney Of THE PEOPLE.
I'd A rapid and ruinous depreciation Of State bank
paper, and consequent destruction of private fortunes
and
3dy. A pcrpctua,ion for indefinite period Of the
suspension Of specie payments To those republicans,
who heartily eschew this fatal policy and who witness
with deep regret and concern, the daily support OF It IN
the columns Of the Globe it is perfectly natural, and
proper that they should desire, and support another
organ for the maintenance Of their views All. too. who
perceive in this diversity Of opinion the seeds OF dvi-
sion the republican party and anxious to prevent
it, should regard this establishment the best practical
mode Of submitting to executive Head, full and
authentic view Of the real sentiments Of the body Of
the republican party, whose interests are IN peculiar
degree in his keeping and Of thus striking out plan of
Cancellation and compromise If, indeed such may be
SAID exist not, Of at least keeping the President
properly advised, through this important channel OF pub
lie information of the opinion Of his friends,
The distinct espousal Of these views by the bulk of
the republican party in New York, has, we IN
formed, given rise to Mr. Aliens undertaking, and we
have no doubt of his receiving "hc support 81 many
Of The cdding and s0undcst MINDS the ranks Of The
Democratic Republican party the extreme north, and
the cIrcme south, IN the cast and the rest" Our
readers have these subjects distinctly brought to
the minds OF the people OF this Congressional District by
the letters of its firm and able representative, aud
may omphatcay say, from every evidence of public
sentiment that has reached us, that his views command
| the appreciation Of his constituents.
Under the influence of these general views, and
entire conviction of Mr. Aliens fidelity to every article
OF the republican creed, we welcome the prospectus OF
the Madlsorian to columns
From The Utica (N ~ Observer.
