The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-04-05
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title of The NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lntel-
gence. ... ..@- .-.rE. %"
The well known fact that the Republicans of this city
are destitute Of an organ TO promngate their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject of
i,crated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
voabe nature conspring measures have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Times and Com
mcrciat Mteiiigencer upon footing calculated to en-
its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Mei!gfnccr will be strictly Democratic Republican. 1t
will adhere to the principles OF the party which brought
existence, and sustained the late Administrations 1t
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime yigor the ancient usages of the party
which. Wills: they observed rendered It mvinc
bic, and secured sml lie and constitutional admnstra
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 ncl
nation will prompt pursue, we desire to be under
stood conceving 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 ques-
tons Of expedlency upon debaeable ground and
be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
| and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "Hr3ed crpedsnts OF the day The
country needs rcpose from the agltaons demagogues
aud empires Ii is time that period Of depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and Its disastrous
quences should give way the return OF confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits OF trade aud
industry If the OF the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
brought collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince our rulers that they mis-
take, in sense the indications Of the public WILL
and embody the scattered rays of that will in sen
sblc and tangible form, will be deemed within
thn nE anlfn
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design, Of
great importance and interest to every class of the
| munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false poset-a position which exposes it
eminent hazards, which daily and hourly weakening
It's energies, and which, IN its threatened prosraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal mlsrule
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-
voutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, JUST honorable to devlate further from
the "rcpubcan track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs of Democracy, feel impeed to
| reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Iateih
gcnccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been interPoated into our creed, and to
rcctfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst It re-
mains pure that can divorce our affections fcrvor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loc0 FocoS
and destructves sought to be engraed upon our prn
| cplcs, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrciai IfcHtgcnctr will labor to restore the Domocra
CIV again its former vantage ground-to re-organne
its broken and dIsplrted legons-o rebuild Its crumb-
ling temples, and reestahsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again aourlshng and predominant re-
fleeing the moral influence OF this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests of It's numerous people at
| home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination If our labors shall
prove fru,less 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 lf afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappoin the hopes OF the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FAIL, hcdrcn
| ami earth shall trifness that arc are innocent"
| The Times ala Commercial IaicLieenccr, will re-
cognze 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 I'd Of January, 1888 The rcso-
Iutions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonantto Republican, principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
| affairs
