PROPOSALS.


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
are destitute of organ to promugae their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press OF the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
erated complaint and regret. Circumstances OF a ia
vorable conspirng have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Times and Com
mercidl Iateiigencer upon footing calculated to
its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iiegcnccr will be strictly Democratic Republican, 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration 1t
will labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain their prime vgor the ancient usagcs of the party
which. Wills; they observed, rendered it invinc-
be and secured simple and constitutional admnisra
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 inc-
nation will prompt topursue we desire to be under
stood conceirng that certain aud 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 mere ques-
tons Of expedency rest upon debatcable ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the 'unrted srpcdisns of the day. The
country needs epose from the agations demagogues
exanpled 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. If 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 to embody the scattered rays of that will in
sibe 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
munlty
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
in false postion-a position which exposes il to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostation,
surrounds country with the worst dangers 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-
volutionary in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard it
either SAFE just or honorable to deviate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
aud humiliation. The Times and Commercial InteHi
rcnccr will therefore cndeaver to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
rectfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine Of Democracy we
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst it re-
mains pure that divorce affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the Loco Focos
and desructives sought to be engrafed upon prn
cples, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
merciai Iuteigenccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-o re-organHe
its broken and disprted lcgions,o rebuild its crumb
ling temples and reesabish its ancient ordinances
and TO behold it again hourshng and predominant re-
lecting the oralnuence of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests of its numerous people at
home We Shall rejoice to be permitted TO contribute
our efforts to this consummatlon. Ii our abors shall
prove fruitless adnonltons shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and TO save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight III afterwards the madness Of the few
shall disappon the hopes OF the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcducR
ami earth shall ,cihcss that ace are innocent"
