| NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
| York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lntelli-
| gence
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute Of an organ promugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocatic Press Of the Interior has been subject OF re-
iteraed complaint and regret. Circumstances OF ia
vorable nature consprng have been adopted
to commence the publication OF the Times and Com
ercial Mtelligeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Infeigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere 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
in their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered It nylnci-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminisra-
ton Of public affairs, at the same time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and incli
nation will prompt opursue, we desire TO be under
stood conceving that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by portion Of the irends OF the
present general administration, form no part oil the he
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere ques-
tions 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 "untred erpediens OF the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons demagogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression u-
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 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, ever
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 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
munity
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in false poson-a position which exposes It to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prosration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendsncy 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
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections are pending, we cannot regard as
either SAFE Just, honorable to deviae further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Intelii-
gencer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresles
which have been interpoated into our creed, and to
recty the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power whilst It re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or ervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the LoeoFocos
and destrucves sought to be engaf,ed upon our prn
cples and be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
merciai Integeneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground--o re-organue
its broken and dispirted legonso rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and reesabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold again fourishing and predominant re-
fectng the morainfuence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests of its numerous people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
efforts to this consummatlon II our labors shall
prove fruitless our admontons shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness of the few
shall disappoin the hopes of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL, heapen
| and earth shall ,oitness that zee are innocent"
