are destitute Of an organ to pronugate their opinions
and advocate their principles connection with The De-
mocatic Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
ierated complaint and regret, Circumstances Of Ia
yorable consprug measures have been ADOPTED
TO commence the publication OF the Iimss AMI Com
msreidi Inisiigeneer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure its Independence and permsnency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iafsiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
viii adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, aud 70 main
tann their prime vgor the ancient nsages Of the party
which. whilst they were observed, rendered invinci
ble and secured simple aud constitutional sdmisa-
ton Of public affairs, the same 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 inci-
nation will prompt pursue desire TO be under
stood conceving that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form no part oil The Re-
publican creed Of binding influence but mere qnes-
tons OF expedcncy upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according TO the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the "untred erpedenfs Of the day The
country needs repose from the agitaons or demagogues
and empircs Il time that aperiod OF depression un-
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
quences should give wsy TO the return Of confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry II the of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
are brought into collision with public sentiment ever,
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor Their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take in sense, the indications OF the public WILL
and to embody the scattered rays Of that will IN sem
sibe and tangible form, will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF design, OF
great importance and interest 10 every class OF the COM
munity
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards Its oppo-
nents in false posona position which exposes 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 misrule.
When we 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-
volutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard y as
either SAFE Just or honorable to deviae 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 impelled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infeii'-
gcacer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
which have been nterpolated into our creed and TO
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there 10 no power, whilst u re-
mains pure that can divorce our affections or ervor
from IT, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and desructiyes sought to be engrted upon our pn-
cples and be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Tunes ana Com
mcrcai I,ie,gencer will labor 10 restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundo re-organye
broken and disprited legonsto rebuild It's crpmb-
ling temples, and ieestabsh its ancient ordinances
and behold again fourishng and predominant, re-
fleeing 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 to this consummation. II our abors shall
prove fruitless admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good snip
before the wind and her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall disappon the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hedren
and Garth shall iriinsss thai zoe are innocent"
