PROPOSALS.


York CITY, under the title of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial Inteli-
gcnce.
The well known fact that the Republicans of this city
destitute OF an organ to promugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF
lcrated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Tunes anil Com
msrciat IaeAtgeaccr upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency. s
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
iegencer will be strictly Democratic Republican, 1t
will adhere to the principles OF the patty which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration. 1t
will labor define the ancient land marks and TO main
tain their prime vgor the ancient usagcs OF the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered II inylnci
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnista
ton OF public affairs, at the same time that they pro-
noted in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people. T."
In marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt PURSUE we desire TO be under
stood conceiyng that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion of the friends Of the
present general administration form part OF the Re
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques.
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground aud
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "untried erpcdisnts" of the day The
country needs repose from the agations demagogues
and empires IL Is Time mat period OF depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and IN its disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits of trade and
industry If 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 for their
abandonment. To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take in sense, the indications Of the public will,
and embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sIbc and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province Of our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design of
great importance and interest every class OF the
munlty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false position-a position which exposes 1t TO
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space of eight
or ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
voIutionary movements in public sentiment, in
where elections pending cannot regard it as
either safe, JUST honorable to dcvate further from
the "rcpublican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times pas,
secured the riumphs Of Democracy we feel mpellcd to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial IteNi-
gcnccr will therefore cndeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been lntcrpolated into our creed, and to
rcctfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends TO the genuine cause Of Democracy are
sincerely welded and there is power, whilst It
mains pure, that can divorce affections fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loco-Focos
and desruCilvcs sought to be cugracd upon our prn
cples and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mcrcal Inieigcnccr viii labor to restore the Democra
cy again to It's former vantage groundto re-organne
its broken and dspned legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and le-establish its ancient ordinances
aud to behold il again fourshng and predominant, re-
hecting the moral influence OF this great republic abroad,
AID protecting the interests OF It's numerous people at
home We shall rejoice TO be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this consummaton II our labors shall
prove frucss our admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and 10 save her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that " ROVE MUST FALL hoarcn
and earth shall ,ritncSS thdt irc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Infcliigcarcr, will re-
cornze the organization of the Republican Party in this
CITY as was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd OF January 1898 The reso-
luons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as cousonant Republican, principles and
adapted to tho present crisis in public and political
affairs.
