The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-03-15
PROPOSALS..

nr 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 Iniolli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute of an organ TO pronulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF
lterated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the TIMES and Com
mercai infeligeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure It's independence and permancncy
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iafeugeaeer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration II
Will labor to define the ancient land marks and TO main
tam IN their prime vigo the ancient usages of the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered il invnc
bic, and secured simple and constitutional administra
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 nc-
nation will prompt us opursuo, desire to be UNDER
stood conceiyng that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends Of the
present general administration form part Of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but as 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 10 tho "anried erpedsnts' Of the day. The
and empires Il is time that period OF depression un-
exainped in It's DURATION and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return of confidence
and tho resumption Of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry. II the 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 for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take, in some sense, the indications Of the public WILL
and 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sble and tangible form, will be deemed TO como within
the legitimate province of our Journal and to compose
prominent, objects in the prosecution Of our design, of
great Importance and interest every class OF the
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards oppo
nents in false positona position which exposes il to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton
surrounds country with the dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space Of eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications of Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment in states
where elections are pending, cannot regard it
either SAFE Just 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, feel impeed
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial hlteih-
gcncrr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heroses
which have been lnterpolated into creed and to
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends, To the genuine of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst it re-
mains pure, that can divorce affections ervor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and desuctives sought to be engrafed upon prin
ciples, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mercai Iatciigcnccr will labor to the Democra-
cy again to It's former vantage groundto re-organ7e
i'm
ling temples and rc-estabish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again hourishng and predominant
ectng the moral influence of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests of its numerous people at
home, We shall rejoice 10 be permitted TO contribute
our Efforts to this contamination. II our abors shall
prove frutess admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and to save her gallant and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness of the few
shall dsappont the hopes OF the many and the voice of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL heapen
and earth shall ,ritncss that arc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial IntcUigcnrcr will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
City it was effected at the meeting Of the Ci,s Hall
on the evening of the I'd of January, 1888 The rcso
lutions and address adopted that OCCASION will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
