The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1838-12-01
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 intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ to promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject Of re-
iterted complaint and regret Circumstances Of Ia,
vorabe nature conspirng measures have been aoopea
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
msreiai Iateigsneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence aud permanently.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Inieilgencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere to the principles o 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 observed, rendered invncl-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminslIa-
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 this line, which both duty and incli
nation will prompt us to pursue, we desire 10 be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion oil the friends OF the
present general administration, form part Of the Re-
publican creed of binding influence but mere ques-
tons 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 untred eIpedisnfs OF the day The
and empires II is time that period Of depression I'M
exsmpled in its duration, and in its 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 ms
take, sense, the indications Of the public wi
and TO embody the scattered rays OF that will IN SEN
sblc and tangible form, will be deemed within
the legitimate province Of Journal, and to compose
prominent objects 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 It's oppo
nens in false positona position which exposes TO
eminent hazards. which is daily and hourly weakening
it's energies, and which in its threatened prosraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions in the short space OF eight
ten MONTHS and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections are 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 mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Inteth-
geneer will therefore endeavcr TO expunge the hereses
which have been interpolated 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 power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith of the
and destctves sought 10 be engrafed upon our prin-
cipcs and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
crciai Infegcnccr will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dspirited egions-,o rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and re-establish It's ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourishng and predominant re-
ecng 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
efforts to this consummaton II our labors shall
prove frutess admontons shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cous freight IF afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that " ROVE MUST FALL hearen
and earth shall ,eitness that zoe are innocent"
