The well known fact that the Republicans ar This civ
are destitute OF an organ 10 promugate their onnons
and advocate their principles 10 connection with The De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject Of re-
tcraled complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
yorabe nature conspnng measures have been adopted
TO commence the pubeston Of the IirntsoBd Com
mereial lfsigencer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and CommeTeiaL
Iaiegenesr 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 70 define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tam IN tne primo ygor the ancient usages OF the party
WHICH whilst they were observed, rendered L invinc
pie, ana secured simple and constitutional admInlsiIa-
ton OF public affairs, the same time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people
10 marking out this line, which both duty and inc-
nation will prompt rs opursne we desire 10 be under
stood as concesng that certain 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 '.untried erpedienfs OF the day The
and empires II is time that period OF depression UNI
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 al variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
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 10 embody the scattered rays of that will in
had
the legitimate province OF our 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-
nents in false posona position which exposes y to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraton,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal mIsrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legions in the short space OF eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either SAFE just or honorable to dcyate further from
tho republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy we feel mpelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Intell-
gcnce will therefore endeaycr expunge the heresies
which
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause c. Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst u re-
mains pure that divorce our affections or fervor
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
merciai Ieihgcncer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organiye
its broken and dspted legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re-establish It's ancient ordinances
and to behold again lourshing and predominant
fectng the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
aud protecting the interests of its numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted TO contribute
our efforts to this consummaton II our labors shall
prove fruess our adInontons shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good snip
before the wind and TO her gallant and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness OF the lew
shall disappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that " RoMs FALL, heapcn
| and earth shall tritness that arc are iRnocent"

utons and address adopted on that occasion, will be

adapted TO the present crisis in our public and political
