The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-12-20
PROPOSALS,

York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLiGENCER, to be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial Inelll-
gence,
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are 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 re-
crsted complaint and regret. Circumstances Of IA.
vorable consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication OF the Tunes and Com
merciai Ineiligeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commreial
Ifegeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere 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 in their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they were observed, rendered II nylnci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional administIa-
ton of public affairs, the time that taey pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people
In marking this line, which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt pursue, desire to be UNDER
stood concerning that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF me
present general administration form no part oil the he-
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere ques-
tons of expediency upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
aud judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the .untred erpedients OF the day. The
country needs repose from the agitaons demagogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression un-
examped in its duration, and in It's disastrous conse
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry II the 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 our rulers that they mis-
take, in the Indications Of the public will
and TO embody the scattered rays OF that viii ina SEN
sible and tangible FORM will be deemed to 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
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents false position-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ap
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space OF eight
or months, and weigh the certain indications Of Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, just 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 impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inttlh-
gencer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpoated into our creed, and to
rectfy 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 affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and desructives sought TO be engraed upon our prn-
cples, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Tunes and Com
mereiai Integencer will labor to restore the Democa-
CIV again to its former vantage ground-to Teorgan7e
its broken and disprted legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and eestabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold again fourshng and predominant, re-
ectng the moranfuence 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 fruitless admonitons shall not be wanting
We will make attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew 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 ROME MUST FALL, hedren
| and earth shall ,rifness that trc are innocent
