PROPOSALS.,
NJ 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 inielli-
gence
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ 10 pronugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject Of re-
terated complaint and regret. Circumstances oil Ia
yorable nature conspng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of tho 1imts ami Com
mereiai Iieiigeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its Independence and permsnency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Infeigsncsr will be strictly Democratic Republican 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 TO mann
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they were Observed rendered u inyinc-
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnisra-
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 incl-
nation will prompt pursue, we desire TO be under
stood conceivng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion Of the friends OF the
present general administration, form no part oil the Re
publican creed of binding influence, but mere ques-
tons of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
country needs epose from the agtations demagogues
and empires II is time that period Of depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
queDces 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
are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor their
abandonment. To convince our rulers that they ms
take sense, the indications OF the pubic VIII,
l.. IL. 81.
sble and tangible FORM will be deemed 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 its oppo
nents in false poston-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened posraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions In the short space OF eight
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 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, we feel impecd to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infeth-
which have been nterpolated into our creed, and to
recty the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power whilst u re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Foeos
and destuctves sought to be engafted upon our pr-
cipes and be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
,nereial Iniegenccr will labor to restore the Democra
CIV again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dspirited egions-to rebuild ITS crumb-
ling temples, and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold again fourishing 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 aoors shall
prove frutess our admonitons shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cous freight. If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,citness that nc are innocent"
