The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-12-20

a man whose whole course OF measures has been
but continual violation Of every sound tenet of Re-
publieanism, and one continued crusade against
popular rights and national interests
Al aproper 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 10 indicate-such shall seem
best calculated to 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 reluctant and resisting people
Above ALL such as shall be most likely to preserve
the CONSTITUTION OF the country TO perpetuate its
UNION, and to transmit the public liberties unimpair-
ed to posterity. 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 aposacy belongs TO the Executive, and the
friends whose political fortunes he has involved
Those principles, in any event. we shall firmly ad-
here TO, and consistently and ardently support
In endeavorIng 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 sufi-
Client reason for not INDUCING In elimination and
recrimination in relation 10 the past Let former er-
rors all Sides be overlooked forgotten as the
only means by which one harmonious movement
may be made to restore the Government to its an
cent purity, and to redeem republican institu-
tons from the spirit Of radcalism, which threatens
to subvert them. .,
That small patriotic band, that have dared to sepa-
rate themselves from rarty to serve their country,
now occupy position not less eminent than respon-
sible They hold the Balance OF Political Power.
Let il not tremble in their hands! And as they hold
it for their country, may the Balance of Eternal
Justice be holden for theml :.
