PROPOSALS.

York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial Inteli-
| gence. H. M"
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF an organ to pronugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocatic Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
crated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorable nature conspinug have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereidt IneHagcHccr upon footing calculated to
sure its Independence and permanently
| The political character of the Times and Commercial
Inieiigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican, II
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration II
Will labor to define the ancient land marks, and to main
tain in their prime vigor the ancient usages of the party
which. willis. they observed, rendered it inync
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional adminstIa
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 nc-
nation will prompt us to pursue, desire to be under
stood as conceivng that certain 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 as mere ques-
.lons OF expedency rest upon debateable ground ard

Imposition to the "untrea erpedenisH of the day. The
country needs epose from the agatons or demagogues
and empires II is time that aperod OF depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous conse-
and the resumption of the ordinary pursuits Of trade and
industry If the measures OF the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions oil sound policy
or are 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 some sense the indications OF the public will
and to embody the scattered rays of that will in
sble and tangible form, will be deemed to como 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
munty. E~.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nents in false posltlona position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ap
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrue.
When we contemplated the havoc which has been made
with the Republican lcgons IN 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 1t as
either safe Just or honorable to deviate further from
the "republcan track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the rumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Iatcli
gcnccr will therefore ondeavcr TO expunge the hercses
which have been nterpolated intosour 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 can divorce affections or ervoi
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and dcs,rucves sought to be engafed upon our prin
cipcs and TO be substituted in embraces we turt
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
,nerc,ai Inieecnccr will labor to restore the Democra
CIV again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHt
its broken and dsprted eglons--to rebuild its crumb
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshing and predominant re-
hcctng the moral influence OF this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests of its numerous people
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. III our lahors shal
prove frutcss admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one more attempt to put the good sh
before the wind and TO save her gallant crew and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall disappoint the hopes Of the many and the voice
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hedce
AMI earth shall rihess that tce are innocent"
