The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-12-11
PROSPECTUS.

The undersigned having purchased control
ling interest in the MADIsoNIAN proposes to issue
DAILY PAPER from this Office on or about the
18th of December
The paper will be devoted TO the support of
such constitutional measures as the interests of
the People may demand-and from what has
been seen of the purposes Of President Tyler's
Administration, there IS every reason TO believe
that such measures only are in contemplation bv
the present head Of the Government.
We propose TO labor for the entire restoration
Of the pure doctrines and faithful practices Of
the founders of our Republic-not 10 battle for
the mere exaltation of partisan dctators To
advocate those principles of our patriotic fathers
which were altogether designed TO ensure the
prosperity and happiness Of the Confederacy, in
their original purity-not TO tear down the mod
ern fabrics of demagogues to erect p.destals
fol- other ambitious and dishonest aspirants In
short it is our design to pursue the RIGHT, alike
needless ofparty names and party interests, and
to expose the WRONG emanate from what men
or in what sections it may. But it is far from
our intention ever to indulge in wanton and
vulgar abuse. Yetw will not suffer the men
and measures advocate to be unjustly as
persed, and wrongfully assailed, with impunity.
Heartily approving The independent course
pursued by the President during the late extra
ordinary session of Congress, it shall be our en-
deavor, al hitting period, TO place before the
IL
origin and fate Of the two Bank bills.
That the DAILY MADIsoNIAN may merit the
support OF the community unfortunately, the
undersigned is resolved to bring to his assistance
in the editorial department the best political and
literary talent that can be secured In aid of
this purpose, an able and experienced European
correspondent (situated at Bremen) has been
engaged to transmit to us by the steamers every
fortnight, the most comprehensive accounts of
the state and progress Of things in the old
world OF which he is capable This enter
prise, we trust, will be duly appreciated by our
subscribers.
An efficient corps Of stenographers will be en-
ployed TO report the proceedings and debates of
each house Of Congress, which will be nut in
type the evening Of the day they transpire, and
be transmitted promptly 10 our subscribers
through the mails.
As the only Administration Journal in the
District Of Columbia, publishing, officially, the
proceedings of the Government, and chershing
and defending honestly and earnestly the prin-
ciples upon which the public acts of President
Tyler have thus far been founded, we may, we
trust, justly calculate upon no inconsiderable
share at least Of the support of that very com
prehensive body of our fellow citizens who are
the friends of good and faithful Government.
