PROPOSALS,

PROPOSALS,
M 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 pronugate their opinions
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the interior, has been subject Of
tcrsted complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorsble consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereiai Iaeliigeneer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure It's Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iaieiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, and 70 main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst thoy observed. rendered inyinc-
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnlstIa-
ton Of public affairs, at the same 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 incli-
nation will prompt TO pursue, we desire 10 be under
stood conceyng that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form part OF the Re-
publican creed of binding influence, but mere qnes-
lions Of expedency upon debateable ground, and
may be opposed according TO the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition 10 the "hnfTtGd eIpedsntS Inc
country needs repose from the agsions demagogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression
exampled in its duration, and IN its disastrous conse-
quences should give way 10 the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry II the measures OF the government shall DC
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
or are brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud tor their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take some sense, the indications Of the public VIII,
and embody the scattered Of that will IN sen
sible and tangible FORM will be deemed within
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 oil The COM
muny.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's opPo
nens in false positions position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever sp
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications Of Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either SAFE just or honorable to deviae further from
the "republican track" marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy, feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial iatehi-
which have been interpoated into creed, and to
rectfy 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 re-
mains pure, that divorce affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and desructves sought to be engailed upon our prin
cples and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Tunes and Com
mercal Integcneer will labor to restore the Democra
CIV again to its former vantage groundto re-organye
hroka and
ling temples and re-estabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourishing and predominant re-
hectng 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 abors shall
prove Ruthless admontons shall not be wanting
We will make more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant crew and pre-
cous freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoMs FALL, hcapcn
and earth shall iriiness that nc arc innocent"
