are destitute OF an organ promugate their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocraiic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
ilcrated complaint and regret. Circumstances OF ia
yorabe consplnng measures have been soopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai Infeigencer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and CommTeial
Iafelhgsneer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere TO the principles Of the party when ofougn
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and TO main
tain in their prime vigor the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they observed, rendered It inync-
BILE, and secured simple and constitutional adminstra-
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 US pursue, we desire 10 be UNDER
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form part oil the Re
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere cues.
tons Of expedency rest upon debaeabe ground, and
may be opposed according the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition the "untied erpedisns Of the day The
and empires. II time that period Of depression un-
exampled in its Duration and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way TO the return OF commence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry II the Of the government shall be
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 for their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take, the indications Of the public will,
and to embody the scattered rays OF that will mi SEN
had IN
the legitimate province Of our Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF design, Of
great Importance and interest to every class Of the COM
munty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards its oppo
nens in false poston-a position which exposes to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prosraton
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space OF eight
or 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 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 mPelled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Intelli-
gencer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into our creed, and to
rectify 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 re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or feryor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loeo-Focos
and destuctves sought to be engraed upon our pnn-
cples and to be substituted IN our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ercial Iniegcneer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to reorgani7e
its broken and dspred legions-to rebuild ITS crumo
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourshing and predominant, re-
fleeing the moral influence of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests Of its numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination. II our labors snail
prove fruess our admonitions shall not be wanting
We will make one 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 disappont the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that RoMs FALL, heapen
and Garth shall teiiness that ,rc are innocent"
