PROSPECTUS.
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.

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 ? He is not to be trusted, he
can have no credit, but must pay cash down for it, and
for every tiling elso which he inay need for its protitable
cultivation, as " no law thall be valid for Ike collcchon
of debtt where one parly rehnquitket kit rigkt to and
pottcttion of any tpecut of property on the promite of
the otker party." Abmiid aa this is, there is something
' atill more absurd in their pioceedings if such a thing la
possible. We have been informed from a aonrce that
may be relied upon, thai one of the sneakers of the
convention remarked thstfor his part, " He could tee no
good reaton wky one ma* tkould have a better claim to
any particular article of properly, tkan anotker; nor
why ke tkould not have at good a right to take and ute
a korte that ke migkt find Handing by the tide of a
fence or a pott in Ike tlreet, at Ike owner or ike perton
ieko had but tke moment before left kirn there !*
Now thia ia the real, genuine, loco-foco doctrine aa
wa understand it; and all that ia tfantcd in our opinion
to carry it out, ia the adoption of a conatitution which
will permit a inan to steal with impunity, or in other
worda, lawa which will authorize plunder and robliery.
We would then have loco-focoisin in all its attractive
beauty aud excellence. For instance, if one of our
farmer* should coine to town with a load of wheat or
potatoes, and ahould htppen to leave his wagon for a
moment, a loco-foco would have a perfect right, and no
doubt the disposition too, to seise the whole concern,
drive *IT, and appropriate it to hia own use and benefit.
Fiiuily, we conader the loco-foco conatitution just
such a one as a lazy, indolent, atupid set of men would
like to live under, and if they will only remove them
selves Kyond the pale of civilization, industry, and mo
rality, *c have no objection to their ttying the experi
ment.

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

From the New York TimtM.
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. The hanks are not in the
dictating to thin Press, or directing its move
ments in Virginia?and the press woukl acorn any such
attempt, aa much aa the Whig itself; tho f?.t is, that
we did not know the opinions of five men in Virginia.

slang Should these gentlemen ever become candi

to make any such issne. Cot. Benton haa tranklv an
nounced his disclaimer in the toast he addressed to the

their claims for those of any of the frienda of tire admi

Sutfe ia still the Shibboleth of thou faith. Let the
Norfolk Herald w; it pleases, the iaaue ia, " Bank

?for, we firmly believe it to be the greet iaaue at pre

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.?
