The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-05-19
PROPOSALS,

NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the tlle Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial lnteli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
destitute of an organ to promugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject Of
itcraed complaint and regret Circumstances OF "a
vorable nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai Ineligencer upon footing calculated to
sure It's independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iafeigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican, 1t
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
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they Observed rendered it inyinci
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnlsa
ton Of public affairs at the same time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree tho undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and incli
nation will prompt us topursue desire TO be under
stood conceving that certain measures 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 as mere ques-
tons Of expedency 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 "unted srpedisnts Of the day. The
country needs repose from the agtaons dcmagogues
and empires II time that period Of depression I'M
exampled its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way 10 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,
are brought into collision withpubc sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor Their
abandonment, To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take some sense the indications OF the public will,
nd m euhody tho that will
sibe and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF Journal and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution ofou 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
nens in false positions position which exposes to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prosratlon
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule
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 sentiment, IN states
where elections 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 tumphs OF Democracy we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iatelit-
gcnccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been interpolated into creed, and to
recty 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 divorce our affections or ieryor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought TO be epgraf.ed upon our pn-
cples and be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mcrcial Inicgcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organ5e
its broken and dispirited egonsto rebuild its crumb
ling temples, and re-estabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourishng and predominant
ecting the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests OF its numerous people at
home We shall rejocc TO be permitted to contribute
our efforts this contamination. II our labors shall
prove fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting
we viii make one attempt TO put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If Afterwards the madness OF the lew
shall dsappons the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoME MUST FALL, hearen
and earth shall ,eiiness thar are snaocent."
The Times and Commercial Inteihgencer, will re.
cognizc the organization Of the Republican Party in this
CITY as it was 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 VIII be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
