PROPOSALS,

York CITY, under the title of The NETWORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENcER, TO be
devoted to Politics, News and Commercial lnielli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of organ TO promulgate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the Interior has been subject OF re-
erated complaint and regret. Circumstances oil a IA
TO commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciaI Infeligeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
It's Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Tunes and Commercial
Iieigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration t
will labor define the ancient land marks and to main
tain their prime vgor the ancient usages Of the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered invlncl-
ble and secured simple and constitutional sdminstIa-
ton Of public affairs at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people
In marking out this line, which both duty and nell
nation will prompt Us topursue we desire TO be under
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion oil the Trends OF tne
present general administration, form no part Of the Re
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere ques-
tons of expediency upon debatesble ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition TO the "untred ezpedlsnfs OF the day The
country needs repose from the sgitaons demsgogues
and empires Ii is time that period Of depression un
examped in its duration, and in It's disastrous conse
quences should give way 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 sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment ever
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince our rulers that they mis-
take, sense the indications Of the public will,
sible and tangible FORM will be deemed within
the legitimate province Of Journal, and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution oil our design, OF
great importance and interest to every class OF the com
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nens false positions position which exposes TO
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prosratioh
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the asceDdency OF federal lmisrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legioDs in the short space OF eg
or months and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment 10 states
where elections pending we cannot regard It as
either SAFE Just honorable to deviate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps Of
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy we ee impelled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Inteif,-
geneer will therefore endeavcr TO expunge the heresles
which have been interpolated into our creed and 70
rectify the errors which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there Is no power whist It re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and desructives sought to be engrated upon prn-
cples and to be substituted IN our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
mercai Inieiigcncer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dispnted legionsto rebuild It's crumb-
ling temples and re-estabish its ancient ordinances
and behold il again hourshng and predominant, re-
ectng 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 consummaton. II our labors shall
prove fruitess our admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant and pre-
cous freight II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoNE MUST FALL heapen
and earth shall ,cifncss that tcc innocent"
