The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-12-14
PROSPECTUS.

The undersigned having purchased control
ling interest in the MADIsoNIAN proposes to issue
a DAILY PAPER from this office on or about the
| 18th of December.
The paper viii 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 by
| the present head ofthe 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 dictators 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 10 tear down the mod
| ern fabrics Of demagogues 10 erect p.destals
fol other ambitious and dishonest aspirants. In
short, il is our design TO pursue the RIGHT, alike
needless party names and party interests, and
to expose the WRONG, emanate from what men
or in what sections it may. But il is far from
our intention ever to indulge in wanton and
vulgar abuse. Yet we will not suffer the men
and measures we advocate TO be unlustly as
persed, and wrongfully assailed, with mpunity
Heartily approving the independent course
pursued by the President during the late extra
ordinary session Of Congress, il shall be our
deavor, al fitting period, 10 place before the
origin and fate of the two Bank bills
That the DAILY MADisoNrAN may merit the
support OF the community Unfortunately, the
undersigned is resolved TO bring to his assistance
IN the editorial department the best potlcaland
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
tne 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 put IN
type the evening OF the day they transpire, and
oe transmitted promptly to- our subscribers
through the mails.
AS the only Administration Journal in The
District OF Columbia, publishing officially, the
proceedings OF the Government and cherishlng
and defending honestly and earnestly The prin
clples upon which the public acts of President
Tyler have thus far been founded, we may, we
trust, justly calculate upon no lnconsldefable
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
