PROPOSALS,


York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENcEK, TO be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial lnielh-
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ promugae their Opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
erated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of Ia
yorabe consplring measures have been aooped
to commence the publication of the Times and Com
mereial Intelgencer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and CommeTeia
Iaieiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO nam
tain in their prime vigor the ancient usages oil the party
which. whilst they observed rendered 1t inylnci
bic, and secured simple and constitutional admnlsIa-
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 nc-
nation will prompt to pursue, we desire TO be under
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form part OF the he
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques-
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and judgment, This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition TO the uaied erped,ents" of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons or demagogues
and empires 1t time that period Of depression UNI
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 If the Of the government shall be
found at 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 sense the indications Of the public will
and TO embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
sible 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, oil
great importance and interest to every class OF the com
munty. .t
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nens in false posltiona position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in It's threatened prostraton,
surrounds our country with the dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency of federal msrue.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican leglons IN the short space OF eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
volutonary 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 Infelli-
pencer will therefore endeaycr expunge the heresies
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and desructives sought be engraed upon our prn-
cples and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrcal Itc,ecncer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
its broken and dsprted legions-to rebuild its crumb-
ardt
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
Aecting the moranfuence 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 contamination II our labors shall
prove fruitless admonitons shall not be wanting
We will make 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 dsappoin the hopes Of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcaucn
and earth shall ,eiiness that we are innocent"
