The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-09-19
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial intel
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute OF organ to promugale their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection whthe De-
Inocralic Press OF the INTERIOR has been subject OF
iterated complaint and regret. Circumstances oil Ia
yorable nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Tunes and Com
mercid IHfsiigsneer upon footing calculated TO en-
its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iaeigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration
will labor define the ancient land marks and TO main
tann their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered II nunci-
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional admnistra-
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 hisline which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt to pursue desire to be under
stood as conceying that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by portion oil the friends oil the
present general administration, form part the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques-
tons of expedency rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the unfred eIpedients Of the day The
country needs repose 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 to the return Of confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry. II the of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take 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 OF the COM
munlty.
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 1t to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions 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, cannot regard 1t as
either SAFE Just, or honorable to deviate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, we feel mpeed to
reject the Councils which bring Us nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteit-
gencer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresies
which have been nterpolated into creed, and to
recty the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there Is no power whilst re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or iefVof
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loeo-Foeos
and destrucves sought to be engraed upon prin-
cples and to be substituted IN our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Tunes and Com
nercia Iaehgencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dspirited egons-to rebuild its crumb-
H. hl,sh
and to behold it again fourishng and predominant re-
fectng 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 consummaton. II our labors shall
prove fruitless our admonons shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall hopes Of the many, and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,oiinsss that pc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Infeiiigeneer, will re-
cognize the organization of the Republican Party in this
Civ as it was effected the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd of January, 1898 The reso
utions and address adopted that OCCASION will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present Crisis IN our pupic ana pocai
affairs. ....,.
