PROPOSALS.

York city, under the title Of tho NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEI.LIGENCER. to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Inlelll-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute OF an organ 10 pronugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocrac Press OF the INTERIOR has been subject Of
ilera,ed complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe conspiring have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of tho Times and Com.
mereai iatstifgeneer upon footing calculated TO
sure its independence and permanently.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iatehgeacer will be strictly Democratic Republican, II
viii adhere the principles of the patty which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor define the ancient land marks, and to main
tain in their prime Sgor the ancient usages OF the party
which. willis, they Observed rendered il inyinci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
ton OF public affairs the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people.
tn marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt us topursue, desire to be under
stood conceyng that certain measures and points of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form no part ofthe Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques-
tons Of expediency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according 10 the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found
opposition to the untred e1pcdieRs Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtations demagogues
and empires Ii is time that period Of depression
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry II the Of the government shall BIO.
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment, every

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
munity
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false poson--a position which exposes II to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrte,
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space Of eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, just honorable to deviae further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iateii-
gener will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hcresies
which have been interpolated into creed, and to
rectlfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there Is power, whilst It re-
mains pure, that divorce affections ervor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and desiructves sought to be engraed upon our prin
cipes, and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mercial Iaeigencer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
nj Cd lau;o rehuill
ling temples, and re-establish its ancient ordinances
ass,ng The neScs u Hs great republic abroad
AID protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. II opr labors shall
prove ru,less admonltions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt TO put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight IF afterwards the madncss of the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcapen
and earth shall richness that aoc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Ltelhgeneer will re-
cornizc the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
Civ as it was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd Of January, 1885 The reso-
uons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred TO as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in ourpubc and political
affairs. d..
