Tmk Madisoniaj* will be devoted to the aupport ol the principles and doctrine* of the democratic party, aa delineated by Mr. Msd>on, and will aim lo consummate that political reform in the theory and practice of the national government, which baa been repeatedly indi cated by the general aufferage, a* essential to the peace and prosperity of the country, and to the perfection and perpetuity of ita free institutions. At thia time a singu lar state of aiiair* ia presented. Tbe commcrcial in tereata of the country are overwhelmed with embarrase uient; us monetary concerna are uuusually disordered ; every lewitocation of society i* invaded by diatreaa, and tbe social edifice seems threatened with disorientation; every ear ia lilled with prodictiona of evil and ihe mur inurings of despondency ; tho general governiueut ta boldly asaailed by a large and respectable portion of the people, a* the direct cauae of their difficulties ; open resistance to the law# ia publicly encouraged, and a spirit of inanbordination i* fostered, as a necessary defence to the pretended usurpations of the party in power; soine, from whom better things were hoped, are malting the "confuaion worse confounded," bv ahead long pursuit of extreme notions and indefinite pnantoms, totally incompatible with a wholesome state of the country. In the midat of all theae difficulties and em barrassments, it u feared that many of tbe less firm of the friends of the administration and supporters of democratic principle* are wavering in their confidence, and beginning, without just cause, to view with di&trust those men to whom they have been long attached, and whose elevation they have laboured to promote from honest and patriotic motive*. Exulting in tue anticipa tion of diamay and confusion amongst the supporters of the administration as the consequence pf these thinks, the opposition are consoliug themselves with the idea that Mr. Van Bureu'a friends, aa a national party, arc verging lo dissolution ; and they allow no opportunity lo pass unimproved to give eclat to their own doctrines. They are, indeed, maturing plana for their own future government of the country, with seemiug confidence of certaiu success. . . This confidence is increased by the fact, that visionary theories, and an unwiae adherence to the plan for an eiclutict metidfrc currency have unfortunately carried some beyond Iff actual and true policy of the govern ment ; and, by impairing public confidence ill the credit system, which ought to be preserved and regulated, but not destroyed, have tended to increase the difficulties under which ine couutry is now labouring. All theso seem to indicate the necessity of a new organ at the seat of government, to be established upon sound prin ciple*, and to represent faithfully, and not to dictate, the real policy of the administration, and the true sentiments, inaasures, and interests, of the great body of its sup portera. The neceaaity also appears of the adoption of more conservative principles than tbe conduct of those aeema to indicate who aeek to remedy abuses by de atroying tbe inatitutiona with which they are found con nected. Indeed some measure of contribution ia deemed essential to the enhancement of our own aclf-respect at home,' and to the promotion of the honor and credit of the nation abroad. To meet these indicationa thia undertaking has been inatituted, and it ia hoped that it will produce the effect of inapiring tbe timid with courage, the desponding with hope, and the whole country with confidence m the administration of ita government. In this view, this journal will not seek to lead, or to follow any faction, or to .advocate the viewa o4 any particular detachment of inen. It will aapire to accora a just measure of sup port to each of the co-ordinate branches of the govern ment, in the lawful exerciae of their constitutional prerogativea. It will address itself to the understandings of inen, rather than appeal lo any unworthy prejudices or evil passions. It will rely invariably upon the prin ciple, that the strength and security of American insti tutions depend upon the intelligence and virtue of the ^'/hb Madisonian will not, in any event, be made the inatruuient of arraying the north and the south, the eaat and the west, in hostile altitudes towards each other, upon any aubject of either general or local interest. It will reflect only that apint.and those principles of mutual concession, compromise, and reciprocal good-will, which ?o eminently characterized the inception, formation, and subsequent adoption, by the several States, of tho con atitution of the United Statea. Moreover, in the same hallowed spirit that has, at all periods since the adoption of that sacred instrument, characterized tTa dkkkncb by thk peoplk, our press will hssten to its support at every emergency that shall arise, from whatever quarter, and under whatever guise of philanthropy, policy, or principle, tbe antsgoniat power may appear. If, in this responsible undertaking, it shall be our good fortune to succeed to any degree in promoting the harmony and prosperity of the couutry, or in conciliating jealousies, and allaying the asperities of party warfare, by demeaning ourself amicably towards all; by indulg ing personal animosities towards none; by conducting ourself in the beli-If that it is perfectly practicsble to differ with others 'in mattera of principle and of expe diency, without a mixture of personal unkindness or loss of reciprocal respect; and by " asking nothing that is not clearly right, and submitting to nothing that is wrong," then, and not otherwise, will the full measure of its intention be accomplished, and our primary rule for its guidance be sufficiently observed and satisfied. This enterprize has not been undertaken without the approbation, advisement, and pledged support of many of the leading and soundest minds in tbe ranks of the democraetic republican party, in the extreme north and in the extreme south, in the east and in the west An sssociation of both political experience and talent of the highest order will render it competent to carrv forward the principles by which it will be guided, snd inakc it useful as a political organ, and interesting as a journal of news. Arrangements also have been made to fix the establishment upon a substantial and permanent basis. Tho subscriber, therefore, relies upon the public for so much of their confidence and encouragement only as tho fidelity of his press to their great national interests shall prove itself entitled to receive.

Baltimore, 2fi?h August, 1837. twtl.%5 The reader will have learned from our correspondent frota New York, the character of the f* Ijoco Foco" party in thai eity. It will be perceived, also, that a meeting of the 44 conservative portion of Mr. Van Bursa's friends is to be held, with a view of ezprnaa ing their sentiments on the sub-treasury scheme. In regard to that scheme we learn that a very largtf majority of the friends of the'administration in the city disapprove of it. The following article from the Utica, {N. Y.) Oi*r*f, indicates the character of a convention recondy held in that city : Loco Foco Srvrs Convention.?In speaking of the Loco Foco date convention which aat and deliberated in thia city laat week, the editor of the Democrat in the laat number of tua paper, used the following language : " It will be remembered that thia convention ia not called by, nor ia it a pert of the organisation of the toco foco party, properly ao called." We are at a loea to know what the editor of that pa per meana, when he aaaerta, that the convention ia not "of Ike loco foco parly, property to colled." If we arc to understand by it, that there i? atill another loco foco party in the city of New York, more loco foco in ita char acter, ita practice and ha principle* than the one repre aented by the convestion here, and which the Democrat aemn ui commend (a the favorable consideration of the pobfie, then we pay meat heartily that ita leadera will stay where they are and where they lielong, not only for their own takes, but for the reputation of the city in which they reside. For all the miserable, wrctched af fair* we have ever heard or read of, the proceedings of thia convention " beat all" ! It coiiaiated wc believe of 18 members; 9 from the city of New York, 2 from Brooklyn, I from Westchester, and 6 or 7 from this city or here abouta. It will he seen that the great bulk of the convention waa from New York ; at any rate all the " master spirits" and all the head work, were from that city. They sat here with " open door*" day after day, anil evening after evening, for about a whole week, de liberating upon, and aettling the detaila of a New Con stitution to 1m adopted by the people of thia slate We had never supposed that advocates for auch un qualifiedly absurd propositions as their constitution con tains, could any where be found among a free and intel ligent people ; nor that any set of men conld be con vened upon the face of this earth who would seriously put fortn such a ridiculous nonsensical thing as that constitution it. We have seen it in print, and we give our readers an extract from it, that they may judge of it themselves. Article 8, Sec. 11th.?"No law thall be valid for the forcible collection of debit arittng from voluntary agree ment between individual*, wherein one party rehnquith et ku right to, and pottettton of any tpcciet of pro perly on the promite by the otker party of another thing or equivalent ! (Tkit teelion tkall apply to debtt con tracted after the adoption of tkit conttitulion.") Such is the 11th section of article 8th of the constitu tion of the loco-foco state convention?the convention which the editor of the Democrat appears to have taken into his special keeping. And what does it mean !? Why nothing more, than that no man must trust his neighbor for any thing; no, not even for a meal of vic tuals. There must be no credit given whatever. Hnw is the young fanner to purchaae his farm, when this new constitution is adopted ?

From the Globe. THE MAIN ISSUE ATTAINED IN THE DIS CUSSION. A uost interesting debate occurred yester day in the Senate, on a proviso in Mr. Hire's bill, vhich is proposed by him as a substitute for what is called the bill to divorce Hank and Stated Mr. Rive's substitute for the original bill?which substitute looks like the perpetu ation of banks as depositories of the revenues of the General Government?has the follow ing proviso: " Provided, also, That the notes of no bank which now fails, or may hereaftor fail, to ro deem its notes in gold and silver, shall, at any time, bo received in discharge of the public dues, unless such bank slwlj, on or be fore the first day of , eighteen hun dred and thirty-eight, have bona fide resumed payments in specie." This proviso Mr. Calhoun declared to the Senate amounted to a stipulation that the pri vileges contemplated by the bill in favor of the banks heretofore to be associated with Government, should be exclusive, and confin od to those that resumed specie payment on a given day in the next year?that these pri vileges were held out as inducements to such banks as were able to resume specie pay ments immediately, to press to that point; and that it was a pledge to those that reached the goal and won the favor of the government, that they should enjoy the prize alone, as the re ward of the victor in the contest. Mr. Cal . houn pointed to the Pennsylvania Bank of the United States as one which, from vast capital and resources, its connections abroad and at home, would be able to put down competition on the part of all inferior and feebler institu tions. lie expressed the firm conviction, from his knowledge of the great financial abilities of Mr. Biddle?the ambition he entertained to assume again the high function of con trolling the currency and banking power of this country through the credit of the govern ment?that his institution, and those connect ed with it in the several states, would resume by the time appointed ; but that, in command ing the means for themselves, ahd to enjoy the monopoly they would prevent others from resuming. The measure, therefore, proposed by Mr. Hives, he predicted would result alone to tho benefit of tho Pennsylvania Bank of the j United States, and those iu league with it. Mr. Hires disclaimed, on hia part, the slightest wish or intention to faror the inte rests of Mr. Biddlc's bank. lie argued, from the condition of that bank ; from the circum stance of its entering into large commercial speculations to pay its debt in Enrope ; and from its refusal to unite with other state insti tutions in preliminary measures for an early rMumptiono* specie payments,that it wasw.e hUSkSt" obtain the benefit ofihe proposed aet. ? ? * ,,0,, Mr Rive# i? sincere in the opinion he expressed.

The admirable article below is copied from the Richmond Enquirer. It seems intended coieny for objects personal to that able jour nal, but it treats incidentally with irresistible lorce and propriety of matters that interest the great Republican party. " The interest of the Whigs is to promote dissension in our ranks : our interest is to avoid them." Let us " dis cuss freely the propositions submitted to us, but let us do it in a liberal and forbearing spirit." We are ail Democrats, all friends of the Administration. Some of us approve the ; measures suggested in the Message, some of us doubt their expediencv. Should either1 denounce the other therefor? Would not J such intolerance be monstrous, wicked ? Is there to be no freedom of thought or opinion ? Are we to be passive slaves ? No sensible ' man would urge such mad nonsense, no re flecting man would deny his fellow Republi can communion because he went for, or went against, the schemes proposed by the head man of the party. Those who favor the Sub treasury system, but adhere still to the usages and principles of the Democratic party, arc not less Republican than those equally ortho dox as to principles and usages who oppose tnat system, and vice vrrsa. Let us M agree to differ," if we must, on questions of policy; but let us do so in a candid and forbearing spirit. Why should we quarrel because we do not judge alike on an isolated new ques tion ? To me it seems well; to you it does not. Are we to quarrel there ? Am I to de nounce you, and you to brand me?are we to nourish feelings of ill-will, of hostility?to segregate ourselves, and by division give power to the Whigs, because we think di versely on any one subject ? These are not times when disunion can be harmless. The ascendancy of Democracy is endangered. Union among its followers is needful, and forbearance, liberal candor, and mutual indulgence of opinion are indispensa ble to that. It is painful to find so fe^v proofs of their existence, but we look for better things. Mutual crimination, jealousies, and dislikes can only do harm, and we trust that among thinking and upright men the article below from our upright and venerable con* temporaiy will find attention and influence : Corrected ?Tho N. Y. American (Whip) w polite enough to assert, without a particle of proof, that the editor of this paper ?? ia a Bank Director awl Stockholder." He was never a Director, and does not own a cent of Bank Stock in the world ! We hold lor naught the abuse of thia advocate of the National Bank. Our neighbor, the Richmond Whig, in correcting t ? f.rr,>r' '* '?? make another assertion which ia equally gratuitous and false, vi* : that we are " Bank directed." One of ita editors well knowa the fact, that we (lifter in opinion upon the alternatives, with the Pre sident of one of our State banks?ami with the senti ments of the other w? were perfectly unacquainted, when wo niimwd our own.

It ia no anch thing, though it is not the first time we have heard such slang Should these gentlemen ever become candi dates for the Presidency, it is much too early in the day to make any such issne. Cot. Benton haa tranklv an nounced his disclaimer in the toast he addressed to the I ttnmasv Society of New York in Match last; and we have no doubt that Mr. Rives is prepared to adopt it. ""N' the eqwIKr, and the elemonta are portentous to the country itself.

The support of the Bank of the Uaited Sutfe ia still the Shibboleth of thou faith. Let the Norfolk Herald w; it pleases, the iaaue ia, " Bank or no Baak of the United States T between the whign and tho party now in power.". We do ndt wnrti, aa that paper " unfairly" charges ua, to do some injury to the whig* in Virginia," by " uhfairly" nuking such aa iaaue ?for, we firmly believe it to be the greet iaaue at pre sent between tho two parties. Here and there, we may aee an exception?but, as the old Proverb says, " It is not one swallow that makes a summer." Whilst a small number of presses (which, upon a casual glance of the reader, might seem to be Democratic in their principles,) are seeking the injury of the Madisonian by quotations from each other, it is a source of great gratification to witness the favorable notices which have been taken of it by every Democratic press of respectability ana stand ing. "We cannot resist the conviction" that the Madisonian speaks the sentiments of three-fourths of tbe Jackson-Van Ouren party of tbe nation, and that its temperate and re spectful course, combined with the great ability displayed in its editorial columns, will ultimately make it the organ of the Crow* tnent, as it is now of the people. In opposing the Sub-Treasury scheme of the loco focos, and walking in the old beaten track of the Democratic party, it is treading in the foot steps of the illustrious Jefferson and Jackson, and preserving the original land marks of re publicanism. The election of its editor, Mr. Allen, as Printer to the House of Represent atives, is a great and glorious triumph of the Democracy. Upon its course and the princi ples of tho conservative party in Congress, tho Democratic party is looking for its salva tion. They can never be induced to embrace tliat scheme which was denounced by the Globe in 1834, as fraught with imminent danger to the liberties of the countiy, and cherished by the Whigs as their favorite pro ject. If the Globe and its followers have, gone over to the support of a scheme which that very print and its present advocates once said woHld expose the " people's money to the plunder of an hundred hands where one could not reach it" under the old system, we are proud to find that the Madisonian sticks to its integrity. Let the Globe and its kindred prints rave on with their insinuations of " de serters from the party"?the people are with the Madisonian and will sustain it. The peo ple are not yet so blind as not to discover that it is the Globe and its advocates which have " tacked about" and espoused the doctrines of Federalism, and that the Madisonian and its coadjutors throughout the Union, are contend* ing for those principles and measures upon the success of which the Democratic party depends for the maintenance of its strength. county disposed to stand as idle and in differ ent spectators of the eternal ruin which a few disorganizing, radical demagogues are seek ing to bring upon them ? or are they williug to lend their aid to preserve its pristine purity and strength! We ask you in the sober earnestness of sincere and devoted democrats, if you will lend your aid to preserve the de mocratic party from the baneful influence of destroying radicalism, then stop forward, all of you who can spare the means, and sub scribe for the Madisonian and the Times. This is a most eventful period in our history. The principles of Democracy are on the eve of-being buried in (he vortex of loco focoism. The Times is the only true, consistent and unwavering champion of pure Democracy in this county, and the Madisonian its only faithful representative at tho seal of govern ment. This is not the period to be seduced from your duty by the malignant and fiendish opposition which has been manifested towards both parties by those unprincipled political mountebanks who have raised their Hydra heads among us. We have calmly and quietly submitted to a repetition of the foulest abuse ?relying upon the people for their protection aud support. Tho Madisonian, with many other presses whose former labors have so often carried the democratic party to glorious victories, have, like us, received the stings of envious malice, but a generous people have healed the wounds and added to their strength. Now is the period for every inan who has at any time fought in the Jackson ranks from the holy influence of principle, to show his fealty to Democratic doctrines. We fight for the union of the Dcmocartic party and the main tenance of its National majority, by support ing principles and measures pleasing to the people, and no bribery or other influence shall ever divert us from the path of political honesty aud rectitude. Albany Democratic Committee.?We learn that the Albany Democratic Republican Ge neral Committee, decided, by a vote of 19 to 6, that it is inkxpbdiknt to call a public meet ing to sustain the Sub-Treasury system. This is whst might be expected from the capitol of the Empire State, and is a fore taste of the views that will be generally ex pressed in the interior. Let this question be fairly discussed, and it must be disapproved by the majority of the Democracy every where.?N. Y. Times. It is stated in some of the New Yorfcpapers, that, of the forty or fifty papers in that State which support the Administration, thirty-odd are opposed to the Sub-Treasury scheme.? Winchester Jlepub.
