PROPOSALS,

| NJ For Publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the iitle Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted 10 Politics, News, aud Commercial lntelll-
gcnee,
Tho we'll known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute Of organ TO pronogate their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
moeniic Press OF the interior, has been subject Of
hcraed complaint and regret Circumstances OF Ia
yorable nature consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the Iimss and Com
merciai lieHgeacer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence aud pcrmancncy,
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Lei!igtReer will be strictly Democratic Republican. it
will adhere 10 the principles of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
wl labor define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages Of the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered it nync
bic, and secured simple and constitutional admnistIa
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 inc-
nation will prompt 10 pursue, desire to be under
stood as concelyng that certain and points OF
policy entertained 10y portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form part Of the Re-
publican creed of binding influence, but mere ques
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground and
may be opposed according TO the dictates Of conscience
and judgment This paper will therefore be found ia
opposition 10 the "aied erpcdieRfs Of the day The
and empires Il is time that period Of depression
exampied IN its duraton and in its disastrous
quences should give way TO the return Of confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits trade and
industry II the measures OF the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions OF sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good aloud for their
abandonment. To convince rulers, that they mis-
take, in sense, the indications Of the public will,
and 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will in
sibe and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province oil our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution of design, of
great Importance and interest to every class OF the
munity ...a.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false posltiona position which exposes It TO
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egions the short space of eight
ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, just honorable to dcvlate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the umphs of Democracy, we feel impelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
aud humiliation Tie Times and Commercial Hats}h-
gcnccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hercsies
which have been incrpoated into creed and to
rectiy the errors 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 our affections or ieryor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco FocoS
and destucves sought to be eugrailed upon prln
cipcs and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mcrciai IicigeRcer viii labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage groundto re-organi7e
its broken and dsplrlted egons--to rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and Ie-estahlsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again nourishng and predominant,
fectng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
aid protecting the interests of its numerous people
home We shall rejoice TO be permitted to contribute
efforts to this consummation If our abors shall
prove frutless admontons shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attemptto put the good ship
before the wind, and to her gallant and pre-
cous 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, hearcn
and earth shall ,ritness that re arc innocent
The 7imes and Commercial InteR,gcnccr, will
cognize the organization Of the Republican Party this
City was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
the evening Of the I'd of January, 1888. The
uons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to consonan to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
