York city, underline title of the NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to he
devoted 10 Politics, News, and Commercial inleil-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF an organ promugste their opinions
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
itcrsted complaint and regret Circumstances Of u,
yorabe conspriag measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the Tunes and Com
meeiai inteigeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure It's independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commereiai
Lfeihgsneer will be strictly Democratic Republican. IL
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration u
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO NAM
tain their prime vigor the ancient usages oil The party
which, whilst they Observed rendered y myinc-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnisIa-
ton Of public affairs, at the same 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 us to pursue, we desire 10 De UNDER
stood conceiyng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form no part oil the e
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere ques
lions Of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper viii therefore be found IN
opposition tho "nnfied erpedsnts" Of the day The
country needs epose from the sgatons demagogues
and empires II time that period OF depression I'M
exampled in it's duration, and in it's disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry. II the oil the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor their
abandonment. To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take In some sense, the ndicasions Of che eabie will
and embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
sble and tangible FORM will be deemed to 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 COM
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in a false postona 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 ever APP
pretended from the ascendsncy Of federal misrule.
When we 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 movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either SAFE just honorable to deyiate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the tumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed TO
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Intcli-
gencer will therefore endeavcr expunge the hereses
which have been nterpoated into our creed, and to
recuy the errors into winch tney nau peUayeu oul
friends To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and here is power, whilst It re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco-Focos
and destructyes sought to be engraed upon our pn-
cples, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrciai Integeneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to reorganze
its broken and dsprted legionsto rebuild Its crumb-
ling temples, and reestabish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
fecting 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
efforts to this consummation. II our labors shall
prove fruitless our admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight II afterwards the madness oil the lew
shall disappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME PAIL, hearen
and Garth shall ,ritness that wc are innocent
