The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-06-02
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELIIGENCER, TO be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial mtelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ to promulgae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF
tcrated complaint and regret Circumstances of "a
yorabe nature conspirng have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mcrcial Laieligeneer upon footing calculated to
sure its independence and permanency,
The political character OF the Times aud Commercial
Iafeigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican II
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor define the ancient land marks and 10 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered il inylnci-
be and SECURED simple and constitutional admnistra-
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 pursue desire to be under
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends oil the
present general administration form no part Of the lee
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
tons of expediency rest upon dcbateabe ground, ana
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found III
opposition to the "untrtcd eTpehtats Of Tue Gay me
country needs repose from The agtaons or demasogues
and empires II is time mat aperlod Of depression un-
examped in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should gse way TO the return oil confidence
and the resumpton Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry If ne measures of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions OF sound policy,
or are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor Their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take in some sense the indications Of the public will,
and to embody the scattered of that will IN SEN
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
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppoT
nents in false poston-a position which exposes u 10
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, IN It's threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal mlsrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space oil eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications oil Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either SAFE JUST or honorable to devlae 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 lmpeed TO
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial lnteLfi-
gencsr will therefore endeaycr expunge the heresies
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there Is no power, whist It re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith oil the Loco Focos
and desructives sought to be engrafed upon pr!n
ciples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Iames and Com
merciaL Inte,gencer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organ7e
its broken and dsprted leglons-to rebuild It's crumb
ling temples and reestabllsh It's ancient ordinances
and TO behold it again hourshing and predominant re-
fecnp 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 consummation. II our labors shall
prove frutless our admonltons shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall disappoin the hopes OF the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoME MUST FALL, hcapcn
ami earth shall ,citncss that trc are innocent n
