PROPOSALS,

NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted to Politics. News, and Commercial lntelll-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ to promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
nocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
iterated complaint and regret Circumstances Of IA
yorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the 1imts and Com
msrciai Iaiegeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
its independence and permanency
The political character OF the Times and Commereidf
Iafeligcnccr 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 to define the ancient land marks and TO main
tain in their prime yigor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed rendered 1t nvinci-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional administra-
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 incli-
nation will prompt pursue, desire to be under
stood concevlng 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-
lions Of expectancy upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found in
opposition TO the untied erpedisnfs Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons demagoguos
and empires II time that period Of depression I'M
oxanpled in its DURATION and in its disastrous
quences should give way 10 the return Of confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits of trade and
industry If the measures OF the government shall be
found 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 rulers, that they mis-
take, in some sense the indications Of the public will,
and TO embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sbIe and tangible form, will be deemed come within
the legitimate province OF our Journal and 20 compose
prominent objects in the prosecution Of design of
great importance and interest every class of the
munity
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false poston--a position which exposes II to
eminent hazards, which is daily aud hourly weakening
its energies and which, in It's threatened prostratlon,
surrounds country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons IN the short space OF eight
or ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
voutlouary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe Just, honorable to devlate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the triumphs OF Democracy, we feel mpelled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial fnfeitt-
Will therefore the HcreSlcS
which have been interpoated into creed, and to
recty the errors into which they had betrayed
friends To the genuine of Democracy
sincerely welded, and there is no power whilst 1t re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the LocoFoc0s
and destructves sought be eugraited upon prn
cples, and to be substituted IN embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
nercta Intehgenccr will labor to restore the Democa-
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organize
its broken and dlsplrlted egonsto rebuild its crumb
ling temples, and eesabsh It's ancient ordinances
and to behold it again ourlshing and predominant,
fcctng the moral influence of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests Of its people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
efforts to this con5ummauon II our labors snail
prove fruitless admontons shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant and pre-
cious freight Ii afterwards the madness of the few
shall dlsappoln the hopes OF the many and the Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hearen
and earth shall r,tncss that arc are innocent"
The Times and Commercial IntcNigcnccr, will re-
cognze the organization of the Republican Party this
City as it effected at the meeting of the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd Of January, 1888. The
lutions and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in ourpublc and political
affairs
