PROPOSALS.,


York city. under tho title Of tho NEW YORK 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 organ to promngate their opinions
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
moctic Press of the Interior has been subject OF
eratcd complaint and regret. Circumstances OF ia
yorable conspirng have been adopted
to commence the publication OF the Times aud Com.
merciat Iateiigeneer upon footing calculated to
sure its independence and permancncy.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
ieIigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican, II
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration 1t
win labor define the ancient land Marks and 10 main
their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they were observed rendered it nvinci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional administra
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 incli-
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 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 to the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "uired erpcdlents Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons or dcmaSogues
and empires Ii is time that period OF depression I'M
exanpcd in its DURATION and in It's 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 at with the suggestions Of sound policy
or arc brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good CRIES aloud Tor then
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take sense, the indications Of the pubic VIII
and to embody the scattered Of that will IN SEN
slbe and tangible form, will be deemed to come 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 COM
muny.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nens in false positiona position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prosraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the ascendency Of federal mlsrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
or ten months aud weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard u as
either safe just or honorable to deviate further from
the "repubcan track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial intcih-
gcnccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hcrcses
rcctfy 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 re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or fervor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and desructives sought to be engraed upon our prin
cples, and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcreaL Inicigcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again TO its former vantage groundto re-organye
its broken and dspred legionsto rebuild It's crumb-
ling temples and reestablish It's ancient
and to behold it again hourshng and predominant re-
hectnp the moral influence Of this great republic ABROAD
and protecting the interests OF its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination u our labors shall
prove fruess our admonons shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight IF afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL, hcaucn
and earth shall teitneSs that wc arc innocent"
