The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-04-10
PROPOSALS,

~ 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 Atelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
destitute Of an organ to promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press OF the interior, has been subject OF
iteraed complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vosable nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Iimts and Com
merciat hteAigencer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Itelgcnccr will be strictly Democratic Republican, 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which. whilst they were observed, rendered 1t nvnc-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra
ton Of public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness of the people,
In marking out this line, which both duty and ncl
nation Will prompt us opursue, we 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 the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere cues
tons of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may BIO opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment, This paper will therefore be found in
opposition TO the "untried erpedsnis of the day The
country needs repose from the agitaons demagogues
and empires. II is time that period of depression I'M
exampled IN It's duration, and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits oft trade and
industry. lithe measures OF the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions of sound policy
are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. 10 convince our rulers that they mis-
take, IN some sense, the indications of the public WILL
and to embody the scattered rays of that will in sen
nd lhIp hnI
the legitimate province of Journal, and 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 It's oppo-
nents IN false positlon-a position which exposes it to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostitution
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue |
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican leglons in the short space of eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications of Re
vuutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections are pending 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 trumphs OF Democracy, feel mpellcd to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Ihteiii- |
gcnccr will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpola,cd into creed and to
recty the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy are
sincerely welded, and there is no power whilst it re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and desructves sought to be engrafed upon prin-
ciples, and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com |
mcrciat Intcgencer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to It's former vantage ground-to re-organne
its broken and dispned legions-to rebuild its crumb
ling temples and e-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshing and predominant,
hectng 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 If our labors shall
prove rutless admonons shall not be wanting. !
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and to her gallant and pre-
cous freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that F." ROME FALL, hearen
and earth shall ,ettness that arc are innocent" i
The Times and Commercial Inteihgenrcr, will re- |
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City as it was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
the evening of the ID of January 1888. The
utons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonau to Republican principles ard
adapted the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
