The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-06-19
PROPOSALS.,

York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELIIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lntei-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF This city
destitute of organ to promugate their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF
terated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereial Hteligencer upon footing calculated TO
sure its Independence and pernanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Lieigeacer will be strictly Democratic Republican. 1t
will adhere to the principles OF the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration Il
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they were Observed rendered it invinci
ble and secured simple aud constitutional admnisra
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 incli-
nation will prompt us topursue desire TO be UNDER
stood conceiyng that certain and points OF
policy entertained by portion Of the friends Of the
present general administration form no part OF the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques
tons Of expediency upon debsteabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the nntred erpedisnts Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtations demagogues
and empires 1t is time that period OF depression
exampled in its DURATION and in its disastrous
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,
or are brought into collision with public sentiment every
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 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sibc and tangible form, will be deemed to within
the legitimate province Of our Journal and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF 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 posona position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendeney Of federal misrule.
When 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-
volutionay movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard i as
either SAFE Just or honorable to deviae 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 Inteilt-
genccr will therefore endeavcr expunge the heresies
which have been nterpolated into creed, and to
rectify the 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 affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and desructives sought be engrafed upon our prn
ciples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
tnereial Inieltgcncer will labor restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-o re-organ1e
its broken and dsprited legionsto rebuild its crumb
lts.h rsltnunr
and 10 behold again aouri.hing and predominant re-
ectng the moral influences 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 contamination. II labors shall
prove frutess admonltions shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight Ii afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROVE MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,citness that toc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intciigencer, will re-
cognze the organization of the Republican Party III this
City as it effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1888. The reso-
lu,ons and address adopted on that OCCASION viii be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs. 4. aa
