PROPOSALS,

PROPOSALS.,
NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Inteli-
gepce.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ pronugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
itorated complaint and regret Circumstances Of Ia
yorabe conspirng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication of the Iunls and Com
mereiaL infeigeneer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure It's independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Inieigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican. IL
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor TO define the ancient land marks, and main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they were observed, rendered lnync
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminslIa
lion OF public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the hghes, degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people,
In marking out this line, which both duty and ncl
nation will prompt topursue, we desire 10 be under
stood conceylng that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by a 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 expedency rest upon debaleable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition 10 the "hHuled cIpcdtemS oI tne
country needs repose from the agtaons demagogues
and empires II time that period OF depression un-
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 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, sense the indications oil the public Will,
and embody the scattered of that will in
sibe and tangible form, will be deemed to come 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 oil the COM
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
in false position-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds our country with the dangers ap
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrue.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legoDs in the short space OF eight
months and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary in public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending. we cannot regard II as
either SAFE Just or honorable to devate further from
the "repubcan 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 nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial InfeAh-
which have been nterpolated into creed. and to
rectfy 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 divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destrucyes sought be engrafted upon prln
cipes and to be substituted embraces we turn
| with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ereiai Inegcneer will labor to restore the Democra-
CIV again to its former vantage ground--to re-organ2e
i - hull lfnh-
ling temples, and reestabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again ourishing and predominant re-
fleeing the moral influence 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 this consummation II our abors shall
prove fruitlcss admontons shall not be wanting.
/ We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and 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 ROME MUST FALL, hedpcn
! and earth shall acitacss that trc are innocent
