The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-06-12
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEI.I.IGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial mtel-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ TO promugae their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press OF the INTERIOR has been subject OF
lera,ed complaint and regret. Circumstances OF ia
vorable nature consprng have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the TIMES and Com
mercial IafeLigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Mfeigeacer will be strictly Democratic Repubtieon It
viii adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration 1t
will labor to define the ancient land Marks and TO main
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered it inyinc
ble and secured simple aud constitutional admnstra
ton Of public affairs at the same 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 ine-
nation will prompt us topursue we desire 90 be under
stood conceving that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form no part Of the ke-
publican creed of binding influence but as mere ques-
tons Of cxpediency rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found
opposition TO the antred erpedients OF the day The
country needs rcpose from the agtatons or demagogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression
exanpled In its duration, and in its disastrous
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 be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
or 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
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to come 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 othe COM
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false postona position which exposes II to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prostraton,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrue.
When we contemplate tho havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
or .onths, and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard it as
either SAFE just or honorable to deslate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the riumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial IHteih-
gcncer will therefore endeaycr to expungc the hcresies
which have been interpolated into our creed, and to
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst it
mains pure, that divorce affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith of the Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought to be engrafted upon our prn
cipes, and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mcrcia Inegcneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organHe
~ otens anu asssa rs III
and to behold again Aourishng and predominant,
Acc.ing the 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 consummation II our labors shall
prove fruitless our admonous shall not be wanting
We will make ono attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight RI afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL hcaren
and earth shall ,citness that ice are innocent"
The Times and Commercial InfeLigenecr, will re-
copnze the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
City as it effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on The evening of the I'd Of January 1888 The rcso
uons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as consouant to Republican principles and
adapted TO the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
