The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-09-01
PROPOSALS,


NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal il New
York city, under the tltle Of The NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLlGENCER, 10 be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intel-
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute OF an organ to Pronugste their opinions,
and advocate their principles IA connection with the De-
mocralc Press Of the interior, has been subject OF
iterated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorabe consplrng measures have been adopted
10 commence the public alton Of the Times and Com
msrci0i InisLigsncer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of The Times and Commercial
IHciiigeHcer will be strictly Democratic Republican, u
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, aud 10 MAIN
tain their prime yigor the ancient usaees Of the party
which. whilst they Observed reEderedit ipyinci-
BILE, and secured simple aud constitutional adnlsua-
ton Of public affairs, the time that they pro-
NOTED IN the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness OF the people.
In marking out this ne which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt to pursue, desire TO be under
stood coDceivng that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by a portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form part OF the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques-
tons OF expedency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "nniried eIpedens Of the day The
country needs repose from the agalions demagogues
aud empires IL time that period 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 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 some sense the indications OF the public will,
and embody tn scattered rays Of that will IN
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 It's oppo-
nents in false poston-a 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 ascendency Of federal misrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe JUST honorable to deylate 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 to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteth
gcncsr will therefore endeavcr to eSpunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated 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 power, whilst It re-
mains pure that can divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Locofoeos
and destrucves sought to be engracd upon our pih-
cipes and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
merc,nl Ineigcncey will labor to restore the Denocra-
CIV again to its former vantage ground-to re-organlze
its broken and dispnted legionsto rebuild It's crumb-
ling temples and re establish its ancient ordinances
and behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
aectng 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 to this contamination. II our labors shall
prove fui,less our admonitons shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt TO put the good snip
before the wind and to save her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappoint the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that Rows FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,c,tness that ioe are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Infeuigencer, will re-
coenize the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
Cit, as i, was effected at the meeting of the City Hall
on the evening of the ID OF January 1888 The reso-
luons and address adopted on that OCCASION will be
referred consonant to Republican principles ana
adapted the present crisis IN our public and political
| affairs.
