PROPOSALS..

York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEIIIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial inielli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute OF organ 10 promugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
itcated complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consplrng have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the 1imts and Com
mereai MielHgeaecr upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanently.
The political character Of the Times aud Commercial
Iateigenccr viii be strictly Democratic Republican. il
win adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration il
win labor to define the ancient land marks, and main
tain in their prime sgor the ancient usages Of the party
which, willis, they were Observed rendered it myinc
be and secured simple aud constitutional admnisIa-
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 inc-
nation will prompt TO pursue, desire to be under
stood concelyng that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained BY portion OF tho friends OF the
present general administration form no part Of the Re
publican creed of binding influence, but as mere ques
of expediency upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "aafrtcd eIpedisnfs OF the day The
country needs repose from the agations demagogues
and empires II is 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 oil trade and
industry II the Of the government shall be
fonnd 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 embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sble 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
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false posltiona position which exposes 1t 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 misrue.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions in the short space Of eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, Just, honorable to dcviate 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 imPeled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Iatelii-
gencer will therefore endeavcr TO expunge the heresies
which have been nterpoated into our creed, and to
recty 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 can divorce our affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and desuctves sought to be engraed upon our prln-
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mercsai Iategencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again its former vantage groundto re-organl7e
its broken and dspirited legonso rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and reesabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again nourshng and predominant,
fleeing the moral Influence or this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests Of numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts this consummatlon IL our abors shall
prove fruitless our admonitons 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 II afterwards the madness oil the few
shall dsappon the hopes Of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hearen
and earth shall ,ciincss that zoe are innocent
The Times and Commercial latctigenccr, will re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
CITY as it was effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening Of the I'd Of January, 1898. The reso-
utons and address adopted on that OCCASION VIII be
