The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-04-14
PROPOSALS.

NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, aud Commercial Intelli-
gcnce.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
destitute Of organ to promugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocatic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
tcrated complaint and regret. Circumstances OF Ia
yorable nature conspng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai Iaieligshcer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Lieigeaeer win be strictly Democratic Republican. Il
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tann their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, Wills. they observed, rendered it nvinci-
be and secured simple aud constitutional admnistra-
ton Of public affairs, at the same 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 pursue desire TO be under
stood us conceing that certain measures 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 ques-
tons OF expedicncy rest Upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found in
opposition to the 'aatred erpcdieais" of the day The
and empires. II is time that period Of depression
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 at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
brought into collision with public sentiment, ever,
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 TO embody the scattered rays of that will ina 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 to every class Of the COM
munty. *." ,#.@
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false positiona position which exposes II TO
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency of federal misrue.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons the short space of eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications Of Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either safe, just or honorable to deva,e further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy feel mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Hteih-
gcnccr will therefore endeapcr TO expunge tho heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and to
rectliy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destructves sought to be engraied upon prn-
cipes and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ncrc,ai Inicigcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
CIV again to its former vantage groundto reorgan5e
it's broken and dspncd egions--to rebuild its crumb
ling temples, and Te-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
ecng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad,
ard protecting the interests Of its numerous people OF
home. We Shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. II our laoors shall
prove fruess admonltions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that -" ROME MUST FALL hearen
and Garth shaH ,citaess that ace are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Ltel,geneer, will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party this
City effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1898 The
lutions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
