PROPOSALS.,

u
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
| AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER to be
devoted to Politics. News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ TO promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
Itoraed complaint and regret Circumstances OF fa-
yorable nature conspnng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Tmts and Com
mereial Iteliigeneer upon footing calculated to
sure its independence and permanency
The political character of the Times and Commercial
Tatelgencer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration it
viii labor to define the ancient land marks, and main
tain in their prime sgor the ancient usages Of the party
which. willis, they were observed, rendered. it nvnci
ble 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 ncl-
nation will prompt to pursue, desire TO be UNDER
stood conceylng 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 ques-
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 "untried crpeditns" OF the day. The
country needs rcpose from the agitaons or demagogues
and empires Ii is time that period OF depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits ofrade and
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 sense, the indications Of the public WILL
and TO embody the scattered rays Of that will IN sen
sibe and tangible form will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province Of 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 It's oppo
nents in false positlon-a position which exposes II to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostratIon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ap
pretended from the ascendency of federal msrule,
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space OF eight
months and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending we cannot regard y as
either safe just or 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 mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial inteih-
geneer will therefore endeavcr 10 expunge the hereses
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or lervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought TO be engraed upon our prn-
cipes, and be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
crcia Inctgcncer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organize
its broken and dsprted egionsto rebuild its crumb-
lSt,al
and to behold it again hourishing and predominant,
fecting the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts this contamination IL our labors shall
prove fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt TO put the good ship
before the wind and to save her gallant crew 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, heaucn
and earth shall ,cttness that ,cs innocent"
The Times and Commercial Inteiiigcncer, will re-
cognze the organization of the Republican Party in this
CITY as effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
the evening Of the I'd of January 1888 The reso-
luons and address adopted that occasion, will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crsism our pubic and potica
affairs.
