PROPOSALS.

HJ 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 Intel-
gence,
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ to promugale their opinions
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject Of
terated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorable nature eonsprng have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai Iateligenccr upon footing calculated to
sure its independence and permanently.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iateigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican,. II
will adhere TO the principles OF the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usagcs Of the party
which, whilst they were Observed rendered it inyinc
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnisra
ton Of public affairs at 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 us topursue desire TO be under
stood conceiyng 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 as mere ques
tons Of expediency rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the antrsd erpcdisnts of the day The
country needs repose from the agtations demagogues
and empires II is 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 II the Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions OF sound policy,
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, in some sense the indications Of the public will,
and to embody the scattered rays OF that will in SEN
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province of our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF 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 false positions position which exposes it to
eminent hazards, which is daily aud hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds our country with the dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When we contemplate tho havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space Of eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard i as
either SAFE just or honorable to deviate further from
tho "rcpublican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, we feel mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Intcil-
gencer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into creed, and to
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed
friends. To the genuine cause Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst it re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the LocoFoeos
and desuctves sought to be engraed upon our prin-
cples, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mercal InteLigcncer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organ1e
its broken and dispirted legonso rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and reestabish its ancient ordinances
md n saA9 i sSsa s.a re-
and protecting the interests Of its numerous people az
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts this contamination. II our abors shall
prove fruitless our admonltions shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cious freight IF afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappon the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcaren
and earth shall ,citness that ire innocent"
