HJ For publishing Daily Morning Journal IN New
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLlGENCER, to be
devoted 10 Politics. News, and Commercial lntelli-
genee.
The well known fac, that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute Of an organ 10 pronulgatc their opinions
and advocate their principles connection With the De-
mocra.c Press OF the INTERIOR has been subject OF
iicrated complaint and regret Circumstances oil ia
yorabe eonsprug measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication OF the 1tmts and Com
mereial Integencer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its Independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Tunes and Commereiat
Iaieliigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican. 1t
will adhere to the PRINCIPLES Of the party which brought
existence, and sustained the late administration IL
will labor define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party

BILE, and secured simple and constitutional admnlstIa-
ton Of public affairs the time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare and
happiness Of the people.
10 marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt pursue desire 10 be under
stood concelvng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by a portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration form part Of the Re
publican creed OF binding influence, but as mere ques
tons Of cxpediency upon debateabe ground, ana
may be opposed according to the dictates oil conscience
and judgment. This paper viii therefore be iouna ~

We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in false positiona position which exposes 70
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever ap
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misruie.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space OF eight
or ten months and weigh the certain indications oil tie
volutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard u as
either SAFE just or honorable TO devate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the riumphs OF Democracy, feel impeed TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Infeti-
genccr will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into 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 fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and destructyes sought be engraed upon our pnn-
cpes, and TO be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
rnercia Iiegenccr will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organ1e
its broken and dispirited legonso rebuild It's crump-
ling temples and establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again fourishng and predominant re-
hecting the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests Of its people at
home We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
efforts to this contamination. II 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 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 FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,ciiness that pe are innocent"
