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


NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEILIGENCER, to be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial lntelli-
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ 10 promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
iteraied complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication OF the Times and Com
mercal iateiigeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iafeiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime vigor the ancient usages Of the party
which. whilst they observed rendered 1t invnc-
bic, and secured simple and constitutional adminstIa-
ton Of public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people.
Ia marking out this line, which both duty and inc
nation will prompt us to pursue, desire to be under
stood as conceving 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 ques
tons Of expedency upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment, This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the unfied erpedicnts" Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtatons demsgogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression un
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry. II the measures OF the government shall DO
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 our rulers, that they mis-
take in sense, the indications Of the public will
and to embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
sble and tangible form, will be deemed within
the legitimate province OF our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design, OF
great importance and interest to every class Of the COM
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo-
nents in false positions position which exposes to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostratlon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, 10 states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe just or honorable to devate 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 mpeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Intelli-
which have been interpolaed into 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, whist re-
mains pure that can divorce our affections OF ierVor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and desructves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
crcial Itelgeneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organIe
II ahnilI nnh
ling temples and reesabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again ourishng and predominant re-
fleeing 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
our efforts to this contamination II our abors shall
prove fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting.
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that +" ROME MUST FALL, heaucn
and earth shall ,citness that lDc innocent"

City effected at the meeting of the City Hall

lutions and address adopted on that OCCASION will DO
