PROPOSALS..

uJ For publishing DAILY Morning Journal m New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intei-
gence
The well known fact that the Republicans of this city
are destitute Of an organ to promugae their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
terated complaint and regret. Circumstances OF la-
yorable conspring have been adopted
to commence the publication OF the Times and Com
mereiai IeLigsnccr upon footing calculated TO en-
sure It's Independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iteiigecer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they were observed, rendered inyinci-
blo and secured simple and constitutional admnisa-
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 inci.
nation will prompt topursue desire to be under
stood conceying that certain measures 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-
lions of expedency upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore DO found in
opposition the "uniried erpesnts Of the day. The
and empires II 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 trade and
industry. IL the Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
or are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take in sense, the indications Of the public will,
and to embody the scattered Of that will In
sibe and tangible form, will be deemed to comd 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 false poson-a position which exposes u 70
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons 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 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 lmpeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Itclh-
gcncer will therefore endeavcr expunge the heresies
which have been interpolaed into our creed, and to
rectify 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 it
mains pure, that divorce affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and destructves sought TO be engraed upon our prin
cipes, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mereial Integcneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
TIA hrnkn nd tod rebuild CTumb-
ling temples, and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again hourshing and predominant re-
fleeing the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests Of It's numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted TO contribute
our efforts this contamination. IL our labors shall
prove frutcss 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-
cious freight IF afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROWE MUST FALL, heaUen
and earth shall ,citness that zoe are innocent"
