PROPOSALS,

NO For publishing Daily Morning Journsl 70 New
York city, under the title OF The NEW YORK IlblES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLlGENCEh, 70 DC
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial ih'sn'-
gonce
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF an organ to promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocralc Press OF the Interior has been subject OF re-
orsisd complaint and regret. circumstances OF ia
yorable consplrDg have been adopted
commence the publication Of tho Times and Com
msreiai Inteihgenee upon footing calculated TO
sure It's Independence aud permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
InfeLigeneer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration. IL
will labor TO define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which. whilst they were observed rendered il inynci-
BILE, and secured simple aud constitutional admlnstra
ton Of public affairs at the same time that they pro-
NOTED ia the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and ncl-
nation will prompt Us 10 pursue desire 10 be under
stood concerning that certain and points of
policy entertained by portion Of the friends OF the
present general administration form no part OF the Re
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes
tons OF eSpedency 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 "uaired erpedisRfs of the day The
country needs cpose from the agitatons or demagogues
and empires II Is time that period OF depression I'M
examped in lis duration, and in its disastrous conse
quences should give way 10 the return OF confidence
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,
brought into collision with public sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. 10 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
sblc and tangible form, will be deemed to within
the legitimate province Of our Journal, and TO compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design, Of
great Importance and interest to every class OF the COM
munlty.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in false p0ston-a position which exposes TO
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies, and which, in its threatened prostraon
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency of federal mlsrule.
When 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-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard 1t as
either safe, Just, honorable to deyate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, we feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteti-
gencsr will therefore endeaycr TO expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolaed into our creed, and to
rectfy the into which they had betrayed our
Trends To the genuine cause of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power, whilst re-
mains pure that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Focos
and des,ruc,ves sought be engraed upon our prin
cplcs, and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times aud Com
ncrciai Ifeirgcneer will labor to restore the Democra
cy again its former vantage groundto re-organl7e
its broken and dspirited legonsto rebuild its crumb
ling temples, and Ieestabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again hourshng and predominant re-
hecting 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 consummation. II our labors shall
prove fruitless admonltions 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 II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall disappont the hopes of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcdrcn
and earth shall tctness thai ,cc are innocent"
