PROPOSALS.,
M For publishing Daily Morning Journsl in New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL lNTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted 10 Politics, News, and Commercial lntelll-
gence. 80
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF organ to pronnlgaie their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrac Press OF the interior, has been subject OF re-
itorated complaint aud regret. Circumstances OF Ia
yorabe nature consprng measures have been aooptea
to commence the publication Of the Times ana Com
mercial Inieigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
It's Independence and permsnency ;,
The political character Of the Times and CommeTe'al
Iaelgeneer will be strictly Demoerafic Republican, u
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 and 10 main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered nyinci-
bic, and secured simple and constitutional adminisHa-
ton OF public affairs, at the 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 topursue we 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 OF the Re
publican creed of binding influence, but as mere qnes
lions Of expediency rest upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the nnfried eIpedrens" OF the day The
country needs rcpose from the sgatons demagogues
aud empires Il is time that period Of depression un-
examped 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 variance with the suggestions Of sonnd policy,
or are brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they ms-
take, in sense, the indications OF the public Will,
and embody the scattered Of that will ina SEN
sibe and tangible form, will bedeemed 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 lis oPpo-
in false postiona position which exposes 1t TO
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostration
surrounds 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 legons in the short space OF eight
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, Just, or honorable to deyate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the riumphs OF Democracy we feel impelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infefh-
geneer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been interpolated into our creed and 10
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst it
mains pure that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith oil the Loeo-Focos
and desructives sought 10 be engraed upon our Prn
cples, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcrcial Iafe,gcnccr will labor TO restore the Democra-
CIV again to its former vantage ground-o re-organ7e
its broken and dispirited legonso rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and eesabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold again fourshing and predominant re-
hecting the moranfuence 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 consummaton II our abors shall
prove fruitless our admonons 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-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the lew
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapen
| aud earth shall ,ritness that trc are innocent"
