PROPOSALS..

HJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intell-
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ to promngate their opinions
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocalic Press Of the Interior has been subject Of re-
craied complaint and regret. Circumstances Of la-
yorable consplrng have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Timts and Com
nereial Iateiigeaeer upon footing calculated to en-
sure It's independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
InielgeAcsr will be strictly Democratic Republican Ii
viii adhere to the principles OF the patty which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II

which, whist they observed, rendered ii inyinci-
ble aud secured simple aud constitutional admnjsta.
ton Of public affairs, at the same time that they pro.
NOTED IN the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people
In marking out this line, which both duty aud incli-
nation will prompt topursue, desire 10 be under
stood as conceiving that certain 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 ones
lions Of expedioncy rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates Of
and judgment This paper viii therefore be found in
opposition TO the anried crpedientS Of the day. The
country needs reposc from the agitaons demagogues
and empires II time that period OF depression un-
exampled in its DURATION and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give way 10 the return Of confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits of trade and
industry II the Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions of sound policy
or are brought Into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Cor their
abandonment To convince our rulers that they mis-
take, IN some sense the indications Of the public WILL
and 10 embody the scattered Of that will in
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF Journal, and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution of our design OF
great importance and interest to 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 posona position which exposes it to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prostraon
surrounds our country with the dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency of federal misrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space of eight
or ten months, and weigh the certain indications Of Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment in states
where elections are pending, cannot regard it as
either Safe just or honorable to deviae further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, feel impeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iqeii-
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power, whilst it
mains pure; that can divorce affections ervor
from It, But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and desructives sought TO be engrafed upon prin
ciples, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Iimes and Com
mercal Iatehgeacer win labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundto reorgani1e
its broken and disprtcd legionsto rebuild its crumb
ling temples and e-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again iourshng and predominant,
hectng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice 10 be permitted TO contribute
our efforts to this consummation If our abos shall
prove fruitlcss adrnonitions shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind, and to her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappon the hopes of the many and the voice of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapea
and earth shall rifacss that icc innocent"
The Times and Commercial Iateii,geaecr, will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City it effected at the meeting of the City Hall
the evening of the ID Of January, 1898. The reso.
lntions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to consonant Republican, principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
