are destitute of an organ TO promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles connection with the De-
mocrac Press of the Interior has been subject Of
itorated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorabe conspiring measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mercial Lfeigsncer upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Tunes and Commercial
Iaieipeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
viii adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration. II
will labor 10 define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which whilst thoy were observed rendered il invnci-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
ton Of public affairs, at the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people.
Tn marking out this ine which both duty and ncli-
nation win prompt topursue, we desire TO be under
stood concerning that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends oil the
present general administration form no part Of the Re-
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
lions Of oxpediency rest upon debaieable ground and
may be opposed according 10 the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore BIO found IN
opposition to the 'aaried erpedisas" Of the day The
and empires II is time that period Of depression I'M
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 ond
industry II the measures OF the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions Of sound policy
or are 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 to embody the scattered rays OF that will SEN
L. .nl az
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 positions position which exposes it to
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misruie.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
or ten months, and weigh the certain indications Of Re
volutionary 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 riumphs Of Democracy, feelimpeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iateiii-
gcncer will therefore endeaycr expunge the heresies
which have been nterpolated into our creed and to
rectify 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 can divorce affections or feryor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco-Focos
and desructyes 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
erciai Iateiigeaeer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage groundo re-organi7e
ard rebuild Crlmb-
ling temples and e-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again Aourshng and predominant,
fleeing the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests oil ITS numerous people AZ
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts this contamination. III our abors shall
prove fruitless admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make one 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 disappon the hopes OF the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hearen
and earth shall tciiness that nc are innocent"
