The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-08-08

HJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal m New
York city, under the title Of the NETWORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ 10 pronuigse their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocatic Press Of the Interior has been subject Of
iersted complaint and regrct. Circumstances OF ia
vorable conspnng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereiai IRfeitigsncer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its independence and permanoncy.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iaieiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican II
will adhere 10 the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
viii labor define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed. rendered u insnci-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admlnstra-
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 incii-
nation will prompt topursue we desire 10 be under
stood 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 as mere ques
tons OF expedency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment This paper viii therefore be found IN
opposition TO the untsd srpedisnts OF the day The
country needs reposc from the agtatons or demagogues
and empires Ii is time that period OF depression
exampled in its DURATION and in its disastrous
quences 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,
are brought into collision with public sentiment, ever
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take some sense, the indications Of the public will
and TO cmbody the scattered rays Of that will in
sibe and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF Journal and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution ofour design, OF
great importance and interest 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 prostration
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendsncy Of federal misrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in 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 1t as
either SAFE JUST honorable to deyiate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs OF Democracy, we feel impeed TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infeih-
genecr will therefore endeaycr expunge the hereses
which have been interpolaed 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 10 no power, whilst u re-
mains pure that can divorce affections or fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destructyes 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
mcreiai Integencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organ7e
olep ard rifedla rehfill cYlnb-
ling temples and re-estabsh its ancient ordinances
and 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
our efforts this contamination II our abors shall
prove frutess our 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 dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapcn
and earth shall icifnes5 that innocent"
The Tunes and Commercial Infeihgeneer, will re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
City as it effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1885, The reso-
utions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in ourpubc and political
affairs.
