PROPOSALS.

York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTEI.LIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Inielli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this civ
are destitute Of an organ to promngae their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject OF re-
craled complaint aud regret. circumstances OF a "a
'orabe nature eonsPrng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Iimes and Com.
mereiai iateLigencer upon footing calculated to en-
sure It's independence and pcrmanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iategencer will be strictly Democratic Republican, Il
will adhere 10 the principles Of the party which brought
INTO existence and sustained the late administration Il
will labor TO define the ancient land marks and to main
tain IN their prime sgor the ancient usages Of the party
which, willis. they observed, rendered il nyinci-
be and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
lion Of public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people
In marking this line, which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt pursue we desire 10 be under
stood conecving that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion Of the friends Of the
present general administration, form no part of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence but mere ques-
lions OF expedlency rest upon debaeable ground and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found ID
opposition to the uiried eIpedienis" OF the day The
country needs reposc from the agtaons dcmagogues
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse.
quences should give way 10 The return Of confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits of trade aud
industry. II the measures 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 rulers, that they mis-
take, IN some sense, the indications OF the public will
and to embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
slble 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 Of
great importance and interest every class Of the com
muniiy
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party OF this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false position-a position which exposes il to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
It's energies, and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue |
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
voluonary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections are pending, cannot regard it as
either safe, just honorable devate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs OF Democracy feel mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
aud humiliation. The Times and Commercial Inteiii- |
gcncer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresies
which have been interpoated into our creed and to |
rectiy the into which they had betrayed our
friends, To the genuine cause of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power whilst il
mains pure, that divorce affections feryor
from it. But from the spurious faith of the Loco- Focos
and destrucves sought to be engafed upon prin-
cipes, and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
erciat Itcthgcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organi7e
its broken and dispiritcd eeons--to rebuild its crumb
ling temples, md fe-esiahsh its ancient ordinances
and 10 behold it again furnishing and predominant,
ectng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
and 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 frutless admontons shall not be wanting. |
We Will make ono more attempt TO put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cious freight II afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsnppont the hopes of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcapen
and earth shall tritaess that toe innocent"
The Times md Commercial Iateiigcaccr, win re-
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party in this
City il effected at the meeting of the City Hall
the evening of the 81 of January, 1898 The reso-
utions and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred TO consonan TO Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
