PROPOSALS,

TOT puuisuiuS Ddtiy MORNING JOuTudl III NOW
York city, under the title Of tho NETWORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ to promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
toraied complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication OF the Times and Com
merciai lateLgener upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iaielgsncer will be strictly Democratic Republican It
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tann their prime ygor the ancient usagcs Of the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered inyinc
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnisa-
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 opursue desire TO be under
stood conceving 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-
lions Of expedency rest upon dcbateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment 9his pspss will therefore be found IN
opposition the xpcdi0Hsp Of the day. The
needs repOSe from OF
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 of trade and
industry. II the Of the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions OF sound policy,
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 some sense, the indications OF tho public will,
and embody the scattered rays OF that will in SEN
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to 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
mnnIty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nens false positions position which exposes It to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When 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 pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, JUST honorable TO deviate 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 impeled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infelh-
encer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated 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 re-
mains pure that can divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and destructves sought to be engred upon our prin
cipes, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mercial Inicigcneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organ1e
ak.tlIf III
ling temples and re-estabsh its ancient ordinances
and behold it again Aourshng and predominant, re-
che nd q h rsa. republic
home. We shall rejoice to DO permitted to contribute
efforts to this contamination II our iabors shall
prove frutless 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 ROVE MUST FALL, heauen
and earth shall ,ritncss that tcc are innocent
The Times and Commercial Inteltgencer, will re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City as was effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd of January, 1888 The reso-
utions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred TO as consonant TO Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
