The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1839-02-16
PROPOSALS,

NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal 10 New
York city, under the title Of the NEW fOhh liMEo
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENcER, TO be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial inteii-
gehce.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute OF an organ to promugaie their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocTac Press Of the nteror has been subject OF re-
iierated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of Ia.
vorabe nature conspring measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mercial iateLgeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure Its independence and permnnency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
IneLhgeneeT will 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 10 define the ancient land marks and 10 main
tain in their prime yigor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered u nylncl-
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional adminstIa-
ton Of public affairs, the 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 ncli-
nation will prompt pursue, desire 10 be UNDER
stood as concevng that certain and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form no part OF the e
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere ques
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground ana
may be opposed according TO the dictates OF
and judgment. This paper will therefore be iound 10
opposition to the uHtied erpedents" OF the day Inc
country needs repose from the agtaiions or demagogues
and empires IL is time that period oil depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way TO the return oil confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade ana
industry II the measures OF the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions OF SOUND pohc
or brought into collision with public sentiment ever
consideration for the public good cries aloud ior then
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they his
take in some sense, the indications OF the public VIII,
.lol, III 1rav snffh
sibe and tangible FORM will be deemed 10 come within
the legitimate province of Journal and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution oil our design OF
great Importance and interest to every class OF the COM
munty.
We cannot resis, the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nens in false position-a position which exposes It TO
eminent hazards. which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostration,
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 legons in the short space OF eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending we cannot regard u as
either SAFE JUST or honorable devate further from
the "republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs OF Democracy, we feel mpeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Inteiii-
gcncer will therefore endeavcr expunge the hereses
which have been interpolated into creed, and to
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there no power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and destructves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
ciples and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrcial Inieigcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-oganHe
its broken and dsprted legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and eestabish Its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again Aourshng and predominant re-
aecng 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
our efforts to this consummaton. II our labors shall
prove frutess admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and 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 RoME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,oitness that zoe are innocent"
