The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-12-15

man whose whole course of measures has been
but continual violation of every sound tenet of Re
publicansm, and one continued crusade against
popular rights and national interests.
Al proper time, the Madisonian will be prepared
to sustain, for the highest Offices in the government
such "honest and capable" candidates as public
sentiment shall seem to indicae-such as shall seem
best calculated 10 concentrate the greatest DEMocRA-
TIC REPUBLICAN support-to overthrow the measures
which have thus far, proved destructive to the best
interests ofhe country and at the same time TO send
into retirement the men who have attempted to force
them upon a reluctant and resisting people
Above all such as shall be most likely to preserve
the CONSTITUTION of the country to perpetuate its
UNION, andtotransmit the public Liberties, unimpair-
ed to posterily. We constantly remember the name
we have assumed and we shall be unworthy OF il,
whenever the preservation Of the constitution ceas
es to be our first and chief object.
We are not to be understood, in any view, as for
saking DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN principles. The
merit of apostacy belongs TO the Executive and the
friends whose political fortunes he has involved.
Those principles, in any event, We shall firmly adj
here 10, and consistently and ardenlly support
In endeavorng to accomplish these great objects,
there will undoubtedly be found acting in concert,
many who have heretofore differed on other matters.
That they have honestly differed, should be suf
cient reason for not indulging in elimination and
recrimination in relation 10 the past Let former err
rors on all Sides be overlooked or forgotten, as the
only means by which one harmonious movement
may be made to restore the Government to its an
cient purity, and 10 redeem our republican instu-
tions from the spirit of radicalism which threatens
to subvert them.
That small patriotic band, that have dared to sepa
rate themselves from rarity TO serve their country
now occupy position not less eminent than respon-
sible. They hold the Balance Of Political Power
Let it not tremble in their hands And as they hold
it for their country, 50 may the Balance of Eternal
Justice be holden for theml
