The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
destitute Of an organ TO promulgate their opinions
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
itersied complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication OF the Tunes and Com
merca inieiiigeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
its independence and permsnency-
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Inteihgencer will be strictly Democratic RepubLcsn IL
will adhere the principles OF the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, and 70 main
tain in their prime ygo the ancient ussges Of the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered u 'nsinc
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional sdminisira
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 and incl-
nation will prompt 10 pursue, we desire 10 be UNDER
stood as conceiyng that certain and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends oil the
present general administration. form part OF the Re
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
tons OF expedency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "untried erpedsnts" OF the day The
country needs repose from tho sgations demagogues
aud empires Il is time that 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. II the measures Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions OF sound policy
brought collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take in some sense, the indications Of the public will,
nd of that in n
sibe and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF our Journal and 10 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
in false positiona position which exposes TO
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraion,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ap
pretended from the sscendency 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, 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 impeled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infefii-

which have been interpolated into our creed, and 70
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whist re-
mains pure, that can divorce our affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the LocoFocos
and destructiyes sought to be engraed upon prn
ciples and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mercal Intelgencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to reorgani7e

ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again foushng and predominant, re-
fleeing 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 to this contamination. II our labors shall
prove fruess our admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt TO put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall disappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that " ROME MUST FALL, heapea
