PROPOSALS.

MP For publishing Daily Morning Journal in New
York city, under the title OF the NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted to Politics, News, and Commercial lnteli-
gence
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of organ to pronugae their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocraiic Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF
terated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorable nature consprng have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
merciai IateiligsneT upon footing calculated TO en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iateiieencer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
win 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 vgor the ancient usages OF the party
which whilst they observed, rendered il inyinci-
ble and SECURED simple and constitutional admnlsa-
ton OF public affairs, at the 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 topursue desire to be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points Of
policy entertained by portion OF the friends Of the
present general administration form no part oil the ke-
publican creed Of binding influence, but mere ques-
lions Of expediency upon debateabe ground, and
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore be found in
opposition the uaired erpeditnts Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtations or demagogues
and empires 1t is time that period OF depression I'M
exampled 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 and
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
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 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will IN SEN
sble and tangible FORM will be deemed TO come within
the legitimate province Of our Journal and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design Of
great importance and interest 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 Il to
eminent hazards. which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendency OF federal mlsrule.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
months, and weigh the certain indications oil ke
evolutionary movements in public sentiment in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either SAFE just or honorable to deviac 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 impeled to
reject the Councils which bring us nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Iniett-
which have been interpolaed 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, whist It re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or ervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and destructives sought to be engraed upon prin
cipes and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence aud disgust The Times and Com
ereial Iatetgeneer will labor to the Democra
cy again its former vantage ground--o re-organ7e
its broken and dsprcd legions-to rebuild us crumb
ling temples, ana reestablish Its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again hourshng and predominant re-
ectng 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 shall
prove fruess our 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-
cous freight If afterwards the madness Of the few
shall dsappont the hopes of the many and the voice Of
DESTINY shall proclaim that i" ROME FALL, hearen
and Garth shall ,ciness that tec are innocent"
The Times and Commercial Inteihgencer will re-
copnze the organization of the Republican Party in this
City as it was effected at the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening Of the ID Of January, 1888. The reso-
lutons and address adopted that OCCASION will be
referred to as consonant TO Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in our public and political
affairs. .I." ....
