The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-07-04
PROPOSALS,

M For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city. under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lntelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
destitute Of organ TO promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocatic Press of the interior has been subject Of
erated complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature conspirng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
nerciai IateligsHcer upon footing calculated to
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character of the Times and Commercial
Iateigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican Ii
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
win labor to define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages oil the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered il invinci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
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 incli-
nation will prompt topursue, we desire to be UNDER
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion Of the friends OF the
present geuerz ADMINISTRATION, form part Of the Re-
publican creed of binding influence, but mere ques
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according TO the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found in
opposition to the "uned erpedents" Of the day The
country needs repose from the agatons demagogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way the return of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits ofrade and
industry. II the measures Of the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince rulers, that they mis-
take in some sense the indications of the public will
md m annhodv tho of that will
sibe and tangible FORM will be deemed to como within
the legitimate province OF Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design Of
great importance and interest to 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 il to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space of eight
or ten MONTHS 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 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 mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infeiif-
gcnccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and to
rectify theSerrors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is power, whilst it re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or feryor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco-Focos
and destructves sought to be engraed upon prin-
cipes, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
ercial Inteigcncer will labor to restore the Democra
cya In ts prOund-tO re-Orpaulze
its broken and dspred legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and behold it again fourshing and Predomnant re-
Hecting the moralmfuence Of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests OF its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. If our abors shall
prove fuitless 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-
cious freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that i" ROME FALL, hearcn
and earth shall ,oitness that zoe are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Iniclhgeneer will re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
CITY as it was effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening Of the 2d Of January 1898 The
utions and address adopted that OCCASION will be
referred to as consonant Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in our public and political
affairs. ...5ss ..... ss.. ...... -. ~.
