PROPOSALS,

i 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 Inlelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans of this city
destitute OF an organ TO promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
moeratic Press Of the Interior has been subject Of
iteraed complaint and regret Circumstances oil ia
yorable conspirng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
nerciai fatehigsncer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iafeiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican Ii
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 main
in their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which. willis, they were Observed rendered 1t inynci-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
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 incli-
nation will prompt us opursue, desire 10 be under
stood conceyng that certain measures 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 as mere ques
tons of expediency upon debateabe ground, and
may DO opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found ~
opposition to the untried erpcdients' Of the day The
and empires II IS time that period OF depression I'M
examped in its DURATION and in its disastrous conse
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 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 our rulers, that they mis-
take, in sense the indications OF the public will,
and embody the scattered rays OF that Will ina SEN
g.. kaI IN htp
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 COM
munily
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false poson-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which in its threatened prosration
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
withthe Republican legions 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, cannot regard It as
either safe, just honorable TO devate 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 mpeiled to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteili-
gencer will therefore endeavcr TO eSpunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into creed, and to
recy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power whilst it re-
mains pure that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco-Focos
and desructyes sought to be cngaed upon our prin-
cples, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com /
mereai Inteigcneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundo re-organze
its broken and disprited legonso rebuild its crumb
ling temples and Ie-estabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again Aourishng and predominant re-
ecng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
home We Shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. IT our labors shall
nroye fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting
we will make ono more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the lew
shall dsappont the hopes OF the many ana the voice
DESTINY shall proclaim that =. ROME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall teiiness that lrc are innocent
The Times and Commercial Iatclhgcnecr, will re- !,
