PROPOSAIS.

III For publishing Daily Morning Journal IN New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
devoted to Politics, News and Commercial Intelli-
gence
Tho well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ 10 promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
itcraed complaint and regret Circumstances of ia
vorable nature consprg measures have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Times and Com
mercial InteLigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and perrnanency,
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
IaieigcRcsr will be strictly Democratic Republican, 1t
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administrations 1t
will labor 10 define the ancient land marks and TO main
tain III their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they were observed, rendered it nyncl-
ble and SECURED simple aud constitutional adminstra-
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 aud ncli-
nation will prompt topursue, desire to be under
stood conceying that certain and points Of
policy entertained by portion of the friends Of the
present general administration, form part Of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence but ques-
tons of expediency rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found in
opposition the untried erpcdisnts Of the day The
country needs reposc from the agitaons demagogues
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 Of trade and
industry ii the measures 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 sense, the indications Of the public will
and 10 embody the scattered rays of that will IN sen
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to within
the legitimate province OF our Journal, and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design, OF
great Importance and interest to every class of the
munity. .aa r#a
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo-
nents in false posona position which exposes to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which in its Threatened posraton
surrounds our 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 legons in the short space Of eight
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 devlate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, feel mpeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iateht-
gencer will therefore endeavcr expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
recty the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause Of Democracy are
sincerely welded and there Is no power, whilst It re-
mains pure that can divorce our affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destructyes sought to be engraed upon our prn
cples, and to be substituted in our embraces turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mereiai Intehgcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage gronnd-to reorgan7e
its broken and dlspirltcd legons-o rebuild It's crumb
ling temples, and reesabsh its ancient ordinances
and behold it again ourishing and predominant,
decting the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests of its people at
home We shall rejoice to he permitted to contribute
efforts to this consummation. II our abors shall
prove fruitlcss 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. II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappon the hopes OF the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that Rows MUST FALL, heapcn
and earth shall lr'tness that nc dreinnoceRf."
