PROPOSALS,

/ IL
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELLIGENCER to be
devoted TO Politics. News, aud Commercial Intell-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute Of organ to promugate their opinions
aud advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject Of
itcrated complaint and regret Circumstances of ia
yorable nature consprng have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai IaieLigsneer upon footing calculated TO
sure It's independence and permanently.
The political character OF the Timer and Commercial
Iateiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
viii labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages Of the party
which willis, they were Observed rendered it invnc
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
ton of public affairs, at tho time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness of the people,
In marking out this line, which both duty and inc-
nation will prompt to pursue, desire TO be under
stood as conceving that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion Of the friends OF the
present general administration. form no part OF the He
publican creed of binding influence, but mere qnes-
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found 10
opposition to the "nairied e1pedsasn Of the day. The
country needs repose from the agations demagogucs
and empires II is time that period Of depression
examped in its duration, and IN It's disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return OF confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry, 1.-THE measures Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor then
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take, sense, the indications OF the public will,
and to embody the scattered rays Of that will in
hpI tn
the legitimate province Of our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design OF
great Importance and interest to every class Of the COM
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false POSITIONS position which exposes il to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostitution,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendcncy OF federal misrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications Of Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either safe, JUST honorable to deriate further from
the "republcan track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the tumphs Of Democracy, we feel mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Tinits and Commercial Intefti-
gcncer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and to
rccty the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco-Focos
and destrucves sought to be engafed upon our prln-
cpes and be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ercial Ineigcneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground--to re-organHe
its broken and dspirted egions-to rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re-establsh its ancient ordinances
and behold it again ourishng and predominant, re-
hccting the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home We Shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts this contamination II our labors shall
prove iruitless our admonons shall not be wanting.
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight. IF afterwards the madness oil the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcapen
and earth shall ,ciinesS that arc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Iatcltgenccr, will re-
copnize the organization Of the Republican Parry this
City as it was effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd of January 1888 The reso
utons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs. '..*
