PROPOSALS.

I
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TINES
| AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lntell
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute Of an organ to proinugate their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with The De-
mocratc Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
iteraed complaint and regret Circumstances Of ia
vorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mere,al MteAtgcnccr upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency,
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Intcligencer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor define the ancient land marks, and to main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages of the party
which. Wills. they Observed rendered invincl-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnlsa-
ton Of public affairs at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare aud
happiness of the people.
Ia marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt to pursue, desire to be under
stood conceivng 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 ques-
tons of expedency upon debateahla ground, ana
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "nnrtcd crpedtens OF the day The
country needs repose from the agatons demagogues
exampled in it's duration, and in its disastrous
quences should give way to the return OF confidence
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits of trade and
industry. Ifthe measures Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions of sound policy,
brought collision with public sentiment
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment To convince rulers, that they mis-
take, in sense, the indications oil the public will,
and to embody the scattered rays OF that will IN SEN
sble and tangible FORM will be deemed TO come within
Al.
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design of
great Importance and interest to every class OF the COM
munity.
We cannot resis, the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo
nents in false poston--a position which exposes it 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 msrule,
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 in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either SAFE just honorable to dcvate further from
| the republican track marked by the footsteps of
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the triumphs of Democracy, we feel mpeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
| and humiliation The Times and Commercial Mtclti-
gcncer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
| rectfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
! friends To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is power, whilst it re-
mains pure that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco ocos
and destuctves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
| cipes, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
merciai Infcgcncer will labor to restore the Democra-
CIV again its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
its broken and dispirted legonsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples, and tecstabish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again aourishng and predominant re-
fleeing 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 consummation. If our labors shall
prove fuitless our admonitions 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 few
shall dsappoin the hopes of the many and tho voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that I" ROME MUST FALL, hcdren
| ami earth shall tcitncSs that toc are innocent"
