The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-09-22
PROPOSALS,


M For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted to Politics. News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ TO pronulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection WIN The De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
itcrated complaint and regret Circumstances Of Ia
vorabe nature conspring measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereai InteLigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its Independence and permanently
The political character Of the Times and Commereiat
Inielhgeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican II
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor 10 define the ancient land marks, and 10 NAM
tain their prime vigor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered It nync-
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional adminstIa-
ton Of public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and ncli-
nation will prompt TO pursue, we desire to be under
stood conceving that certain 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 mere ques-
tons Of expectancy rest upon debaeable ground and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the unted erpedients" Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons demsgogues
and empires 1t time that period OF depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade 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 ever
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take in some sense the indications Of the public will
and embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to 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 oppo
nents in false postona position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ap
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule.
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 oil Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, just honorable to deyiae further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the riumphs Of Democracy, feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Infelli-
genecr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresles
which have been nterpolated into our 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 II re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cipes and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
erciaI Inetgencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organve
al atpI ttS
ling temples and re-establsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshing and predominant re-
fleeing the moral influence 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 consummaton II our labors shall
proye fruitless our admonons shall not be wanting.
We will mako attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight. If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many and the voice of
destiny shall proclaim that RoME FALL, heapen
and earth shall acifncss Dal ace are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intekigeneer, will re-
cognze the organization of the Republican Party in tins

on the evening Of the ID of January, 1883 Inc reso-
lu,ions and address adopted that occasion, will be

adapted to the present crisis in ourpubhc and political
affairs.
