PROPOSALS,

III For publishing Daily Morning Journal IN New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial inelli-
gence
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ to promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the interior has been subject OF
cratcd complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorable consprng measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication of the Times and Com
merciai infeAigeneT upon footing calculated to en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iategencer 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 define the ancient land marks and 10 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient nsages Of The party
which, whilst they observed, rendered it nylncl-
ble aud secured simple aud constitutional adminlstra
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 TO pursue, desire TO be under
stood conceyng 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 mere ques-
tons of expediency rest upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the uried srpedients Of the day. The
country needs rcpose from the agitaons demagogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression I'M
exanped 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 If the OF the government shall be
found al variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
or are brought into collision with public sentiment, ever,
consideration for the public good CRIES aloud tor their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they ms
take some sense the indications oil the public VIII,
and TO embody the scattered rays OF that VIII mi SEN
"a. IL. had IN
the legitimate province Of our Journal, and to compose
proment objects in the prosecution OF our design, OF
great Importance and interest TO every class Of the COM
muny.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false poson-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which in its threatened prosration
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
prehanded from the ascendency oil federal mlsrule
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with The Republican legons in the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications OF Re-
voutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
whcie elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe, just or honorable to deyiate further IRON
the :. republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Intelt-
gencs will therefore endcavcr 70 expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
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 re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or iersor
from it, But from the spurious faith oil the Loco Focos
and desructives sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cples, and to be substituted IN our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mcreal Ia,eigencer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground-to reorganne
its broken and dspncd legions-to rebuild Its crumb-
ling temples and re-establlsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold again hourshng and predominant, re-
ecng 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
efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove fruitless admonihons shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant 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 MUST FALL hearen
and earth shall niiness thai acc are innocent" .H
