The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-04-17
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 to Politics, News, and Commercial Intei-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute OF organ TO pronugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocratc Press of the interior, has been subject OF
itcrated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorahe consplring have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mercat MteAigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iiciigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican. II
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administrations IL
will labor define the ancient land marks and main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered II inyinc
bic, and secured simple and constitutional administra-
ton Of public affairs at the 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 nc-
nation will prompt us TO pursue, we desire 10 be under
stood as conceiyng that certain and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form no part Of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but ques-
tons Of expedency rest upon debaeable ground, and
may be opposed according To the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the ''unrted erpedents" OF the day. The
country needs epose from the agtatons or demagogues
and empires 1t is time that aperod OF depression
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give way 10 the return Of confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry II the measures OF the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
brought into collision with public sentiment ever,
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 viii ina
aapdy xillh a tn with
tho 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
munity. .....
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party OF this State has been placed towards lis oppo
nents in false position-a position which exposes it to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, IN its threatened prostration,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrue,
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space of eight
ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re
voluuonary movements IN public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, Just, honorable to devate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs of Democracy, feel impeled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial InttHt-
gcncer will therefore cndeaycr TO expunge the hereses
which have been interpolaed into our creed, and TO
rectlfy the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there Is power, whilst it
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destmctivcs sought to be engraed upon our prn
cipes and to be substituted in embraces tur:
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrcidl Iatcigcaccr will labor to restore the Democa
cy again to its former vantage ground-to reorgange
It's broken and dspred legions-to rebuild its crumb-
hing temples, and Ie-establlsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant,
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 lahors shall
prove fruess adinonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and save her galap and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall d!sappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that " ROME MUST FALL heapcn
| ami earth shall ,riness thai ass are innocent"
The Times and Commercial IafeHigcnrcr, will
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party this
City it effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1888 The
lutons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
