The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-05-29
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTEI.LIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intell-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ to promugate their opinions
aud advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocralc Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
ltcrated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
porabe conspring measures have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Times and Com
mereai IaieHigencer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure It's independence and permanently.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
IaieLgencer will be strictly Democratic Republican,. II
will adhere to the principles of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration 1t
viii labor to define the ancient land marks, and main
their prime vigor the ancient usages Of the party
which, willis, thoy observed, rendered il inync-
ble and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
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 ncl-
nation will prompt topursue, desire TO be under
stood conceivng 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 qnes-
lions Of expediency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition 10 the aatrIed sxpedsats OF ME day. The
country needs repose from the aga,ions demagogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression I'M
examped 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 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 our rulers that they mis-
take in some sense, the indications Of the public will
and 10 embody tho scattered rays OF that Will in SEN
sble and tangible form, will be deemed TO come 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 oil the com
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo-
nents in false position position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrnle.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentImest IN states
where elections are pending we cannot regard It as
either safe Just or honorable to devate further from
the republican track marked BY the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the trumphs of Democracy we feel mpeled TO
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial infeiii-
gencer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
rectfy the errors into which they had betrayed
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there IS no power, whilst re-
mains pure that can divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and desructves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Iimss and Com
mcreaL Integcncer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organi7e
its broken and dispirted egons-to rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and re-estahsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again hourishing and predominant
fectng 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. IL our iabors shall
prove fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting.
we will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoaE MUST FALL hcaecn
and earth shall ,ritncss that ice are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Iatcitigencer, will re-
cognize the organization of the Republican Party this
City as effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening OF the I'd Of January 1888 The reso-
utions and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in our public and political
affairs. ..-.-
