destitute OF organ to proinugse their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
moerac Press OF the Interior hss been subject OF re-
Iteraied complaint and regret Circumstances oil Ia
vorabe nature consPirng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mercial Infegsncer upon footing calculated 10 en-
It's independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Ineiiigencer 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, aud to main
tain their prime vigor the ancient usages OF the party
which, willis, they Observed reEderedit inyinci-
BILE, and secured simple aud constitutional admnisa-
ton Of public affairs, the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare ana
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and inc-
nation will prompt pursue, desire TO be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF The
present general administration, form no part OF the Re
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
tons OF expedency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the untrIcd crpedents" OF the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons or demagogues
aud empires Ii time that period OF depression I'M
examped in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give way to the return OF confidence
and tho 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
brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor their
abandonment To convince our rulers that they mis-
take in some sense the indications OF the public will,
and embody the scattered rays Of that will In sen
sblc 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 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-
in false positiona position which exposes 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 misrule.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican leglons in the short space OF eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications Of Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either SAFE iust honorable to deyiate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the triumphs Of Democracy feel impeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial inteih-
gcncsr will therefore endeaycr to expunge the heresles
which have been interpoated into our 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 power, whilst It re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or ierVor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and desructves sought to be engrafted upon our pnn-
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Tunes and Com
mercal Intcigencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organne
its broken and dispned legions-to rebuild It's crumb-
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold again fourshng and predominant, re-
fectng the moranfuence 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 this consummaon. II our labors shall
prove frutless our admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall disappon the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL heapen
| and earth shall ,citness that ,oe arc innocent"
