The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-10-31

~ PROPOSALS.,
NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted 70 Politics, News, and Commercial Intslli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ 10 promugste their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with The De-
ocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject OF re-
iteraed complaint and regret. Circumstances OF ia
vorable conspnng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication OF the Itmesaad Com
mercial Infeigsneer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure lis Independence and permsnency.
The political character OF the Times and Commsreai
Infsigsneer will be strictly Democratic Republican il
will adhere to the principles Of the patty which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
win labor 20 define the ancient land marks and TO main
Amin their primo vgor the ancient nsages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered invinci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnlstra-
ton oil public AFFAIRS at the same time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt us topursue, we desire TO be under
stood conceivng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion Of the friends Of the
present general administration form part Of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
tons OF expediency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
country needs repose from the agtaions demagogues
and empires II is time that aperod Of depression IN
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
qucnces should give way 10 the return OF confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry. If the Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take, IN some sense, the indications Of the public will,
and to embody tho scattered rays Of that will ina SEN
sible and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province Of our Journal and 70 compose
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design, Of
great importance and interest to every class OF the COM
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo-
nens in false positions position which exposes to
eminent hazards. which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prosratloD
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons the short space of eight
MONTHS and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard II as
either safe, just honorable to deviate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, we feel mpclled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Intelh-
gencer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and TO
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst re-
mains pure, that can divorce affections or fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Foeos
and destructves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cipes and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
nerciai Integencer will labor TO restore the Democra-
CIV again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dispred legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
ecng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad,
ard protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
efforts to this contamination. II our labors shall
prove fruess admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and to her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight If afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many, and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim tina. RoME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,cness that ,oc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intelhgencer, will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City as it effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening Of the 2d Of January, 1888 The reso
lutons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant TO Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
