PROPOSALS,

York cily, under the title OF tho NETWORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEILIGENCER, TO be
devoted to Politics, News, aud Commercial Inte-
gence
are destitute Of IN organ TO promngate their opinions
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
iterated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorsble consprug measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Timss and Com
mercial Iaeiigsncer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure it's independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iafeigencsr win be strictly Democratic Republican, II
viii adhere to the principles of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks and TO main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they were observed, rendered nvinc
BILE, and secured simple aud constitutional admnisa
ton Of public affairs, al the 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 topursue, desire to be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form no part OF the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence but mere ques
lions Of expcdency rest upsn debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according 70 the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "uaied erpedsnts Of the day The
country needs repose from the agitatons deagogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression
exanpled 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 measures of the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
are 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, sense the indications of the public WILL
and to embody the scattered rays of that will in
ba IN
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
munity
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards Its oppo
nents in false poston-a position which exposes it to
eminent hazards. which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the wors, dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal mlsruie
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space of eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary in public sentiment, In states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either SAFE Just honorable to deviate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the triumphs Of Democracy, we feel mpeled to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteli-
genecr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into our creed, and to
rectfy 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 can divorce our affections or ieryor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and desructves sought to be engraied upon our prn
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ercial Iategeneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
its broken and dispirted legonsto rebuild its crumb
ling temples, and re-esabsh its ancient ordinances
and e behold ]. as.tslas and predominant re-
ard protectn the Of people at
home We shall rejoice TO be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove fruitless admontons shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight. II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapcn
and earth shall iriiness thai tcc are innocent" ..

on the evening Of the Cd Of January 1888 The reso
utions and address adopted that occasion, will be

affairs. e"
