The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-07-04
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, and Commercial Intei-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF organ promugate their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the interior, has been subject of
itcrated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of "a
vorable nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence.the publication Of the Times and Com
aisreia iafelgsHeer upon footing calculated to
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of tho Times and Commercial
Iaelgencer win be strictly Democratic Republican Il
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration II
win labor to define the ancient land Marks and to main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient nsages of the party
which. whilst they were observed, rendered inyinci
be and secured simple and constitutional admnisra-
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 inc-
nation will prompt topursue desire to be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by q portion Of the friends OF the
present gencz ADMINISTRATION, form no part Of the Re
publican creed of binding influence but as mere ques-
tions of expedency rest upon debateabe ground and
may be opposed according to the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found In
opposition to the untied erpedtents" Of the day The
country needs repose from the agitatons demsgogues
and empires II is time that aperiod OF depression I'M
examped in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits trade and
industry II the measures Of the government shall be
found with the suggestions Of sound policy,
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 sense, the indications Of the public will,
and embody the scattered rays of that will in
sibe 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
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo-
nents in false positions position which exposes it to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal mlsrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space OF eight
ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
voutionary movements in public sentiment M states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, just honorable to deyate 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 impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteth-
gcneer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the hereses
which have been interpoated into our creed, and to
rectiy 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 re-
mains pure, that can divorce our affections or fcrvor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and desructives sought to be engrated upon prn
cples, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ereiai Inicigcncer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organne
its broken and dispirited legonsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and reestabish its ancient ordinances
and behold il again dourishng and predominant re-
aecng the moral influence OF this great republic sbroad
and projecting the interests of its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove Ruthless our admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappon the hopes of the many, and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL, hearen
and earth shall ,oitnsss that zoe are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intcligeneer, will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party in this
CITY as was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1888 The reso-
luons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
