The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-10-06
PROPOSALS,


NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intel-
gcnce.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ TO promulgate their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
iterated complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the 1imts and Com
merciaI Inteugencr upon footing calculated TO en-
its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iniellgencer will be strictly Democratic Republican. IL
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime ygo the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they observed rendered it invinc
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnlsra-
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 inc
nation will prompt Us topursue, we desire TO be under
stood as conceyng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion oil the friends oil the
present general administration, form part OF the Re-
publican creed OF binding influence, but as mere ques-
tons Of expedency rest upon debateabe ground and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found in
opposition 10 the "untrred erpedens' OF the day The
country needs repose from the agations demagogues
and empires Il is time that aperod Of depression
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 at variance with the suggestions OF sound policy,
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 sense, the indications Of the public will,
and to embody the scattered rays OF that will IN SEN
sibe and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province Of Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design OF
great importance and interest every class Of the COM
munity ...,|.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in false postiona position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendoncy OF federal msrnle.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space OF eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
volutionay movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, us or 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 impelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infclt-
gcncer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and TO
rectify 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 It re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco-Foeos
and desructives sought to be engrafed upon our pn-
ciples and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mercial Iniegeneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organlze
its broken and dsprted legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re-establsh its ancient ordinances
and behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
fectng 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 consummation. II our labors shall
prove frutess admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good snip
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappoin the hopes of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that " ROME FALL, heauen
and earth shall rcitness that acc are innocent
The Times and Commercial InteAigeneer, will re-
cognze the organization of the Republican Party IN this
City as effected at the meeting of the City Hall
on the evening Of the Cd Of January, 1888 The reso-
luons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs ..
