PROPOSALS.

PROPOSALS,
NJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTEII.IGENCER, 10 be
devoted 20 Politics, News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence
The well known fact thai the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ TO proBugate their opinions
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
mocratic Press Of the Interior has been subject Of
itersed complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
yorable nature consprg measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the 1imts and Com
mereiai Ieiigeneer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its Independence and permsnency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Infeiigencer will be strictly Dsmoeranc Republican II
will adhere TO the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration Il
will labor 10 define the ancient land marks and 70 main
tain their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered u nvlnci-
be and secured simple and constitutional sdministra-
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 inclj-
nation will prompt pursue, we desire 10 be UNDER
stood conceying that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the trends OF the
present general administration, form no part oil the Re
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere ques-
lions Of expedency rest upon debateabe ground and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the "untred erpediens OF the day The
country needs reposc from the agitaons demsgogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression UNI
exsmpled in its duration, and in its disastrous consc
quences should give way to the return Of confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry. n the measures of the government sba be
found at 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 our rulers that they mis-
take in sense, the indications OF the public will,
and embody tho scattered rays Of that will IN
sbe and tangible form, will be deemed to within
the legitimate province Of 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 Its oppo
nents in false poson-a position which exposes II TO-
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prostration,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space Of eight
months, and weigh the certain indications OF Re
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard as
either safe, JUST or honorable to devate further from
the "republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy we feel impelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iateiii-
geneer will therefore endeavcr TO expunge the heresies
which have been interpolated into our creed and 70
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is no power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Foeos
and destnctives sought to be engraed upon our prn-
ciples and TO be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
rncreial Infegcneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground-to reorganiye
its broken and dsprted legionsto rebuild its crumb-
ling temples and re establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold again Aourshing 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
efforts to this contamination. II our labors shall
prove Ruthless admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight IF afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RonE MUST FALL heapsn
and earth shall irifneSs that ire are innocent"
