The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1841-12-09
PROSPECTUS.

The undersigned having purchased control
ling interest in the MADIsoNIAN proposes 10 issue
DAILY PAPER from this office on or about the
18th of December.
The paper will be devoted 10 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 10 believe
that such measures only are in contemplation BY
the present head of the Government.
We propose 10 labor for the entire restoration
OF the pure doctrines and faithful practices oil
the founders of our Republic-not 10 battle for
the mere exatation of partisan dictators. To
advocate those principles of our patriotic father,
which Were altogether designed TO ensure the
prosperity and happiness of the Confederacy III
their original purity-not TO tear down the mod
ern fabrics of demagogues TO erect p.destals
foi other ambitious and dishonest aspirants. In
short II is our design 10 pursue the RIGHT, alike
needless OF party names and party interests, and
to expose the WRONG, emanate from what men
or in what sections il 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 10 be uniustly as
persed, and wrongfully assaed, with impunity.
Heartily approving the independent course
pursued by the President during the late extra
ordinary session of Congress, il shall be our en-
deavor, at fitting period, 10 place before the
public all the circumstances connected with the
origin and fate of the two Bank bills.
That the DAILY MADsoNIAN may merit the
support of the community ndiscrminately, 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 al Bremen) has been
engaged TO transmit 10 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 s,enographers will be EN-
poyed TO report the proceedings and debates Of
each house of Congress, which will be put in
type the evening Of the day they transpre, and
be 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 cherishipr
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 al least OF the support Of that very com
prehensve body of our fellow-citizens who are
the friends of good and faithful Government.
