PROPOSALS,

DIRK city, under the tue OF Inc NEW 1Olkh lines
| AND COMMERCIAL INTEILIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial In,ell
genee.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of This city
destitute Of an organ TO pro,nugate their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrtc Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
itcrated complaint and regret Circumstances OF fa-
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication of the Imts and Com
merciai IafeLigearer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure its Independence and permancncy,
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iaetigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration, II
will labor define the ancient land marks, and main
tain in their prime ygo the ancient usages OF the
which. whilst they observed, rendered it lnync
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
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 ncli-
nation will prompt pursue, 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 Re-
publican creed of binding influence, but mere qnes-
tons Of expedency rest upon debaeable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found in
opposition to the "nntrred erpedents" OF the day The
country needs cpose from the agitatons demagogues
and empires 1t is time that period Of depression IN
eyamped in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
guences should give way to the return Of confidence
aud the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry. II the measures Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions OF sound policy
or 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
sble and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
H., and
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design, Of
great Importance and interest to every class OF the com
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nens in false postior-a position which exposes It TO
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, aud which in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal mlsrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons 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 pending, we cannot regard It as
either SAFE Just honorable to devate 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 mpeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial latcfii-
gencer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been interpolated 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 divorce affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destrucves sought to be engrahed upon our prn-
cples, and be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence aud disgust. The Times and Com
mercia Incgcnecr will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organi7e
its broken and dspirited egons-to rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and re-establsh its ancient ordinances
and behold 1t again Hourishing and predominant,
hectng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
AID protecting the interests of its people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove fru,ess our admonltons 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 If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that I" ROME MUST FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,rifness that arc are innocent" "'.
The Times and Commercial IntcHtgcnecr, will re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City as effected at the meeting OF the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd Of January 1888 The reso-
utons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
