IL "
York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENcER, to be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial Intel-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF organ TO pTonugat their opinions
and advocate their principles in connection with the De-
mocratc Press Of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
itoraed complaint aud regret. Circumstances Of ia
vorable consprng measures have been adopted
TO commence the publication Of the 1imss and Com
mercial iafeligeHcer upon footing calculated en-
sure its Independence and permanently
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iaieigencer will be strictly Democratic Republican II
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence, and sustained the late administration 1t
will labor define the ancient land marks, and 10 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient nsages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered II inynci-
ble and secured simple aud constitutional adminstra-
ton Of public affairs, 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 ncli-
nation will prompt to pursue, we desire TO be UNDER
stood concevlng that certain measures ana points
policy entertained by portion OF the friends Of the
present general administration, form no part oil the tie
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes-
lions of expedlency rest upon debateable ground ana
may be opposed according TO the dictates oil conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore De iound 10
opposition to the unfied erped,ents" Of the day The
country needs repose from the agitatons or degogues
aud empires. IL is time that period OF depression I'M
examped in its duration, and in It's disastrous conse-
quences should give way TO the return OF confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits ofrade and
industry Ifthe measures Of the government shall be
found variance with the suggestions OF sound policy
brought into collision with public sentiment ever
consideration for the public good cries aloud tor their
abandonment To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take, in sense, the indications OF the public VIII,
and 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 oil
great Importance and interest to every class Of the COM
munity.
We cannot resist the conviction that the Repubican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's oppo-
nents in a false poson--a position which exposes II to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal misruie.
When we 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 oil Re-
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment, IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard II as
either safe, Just, or honorable to desate iurther rom
the republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the umphs Of Democracy, we feel impeled TO
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
aud humiliation The Times and Commercial infett-
gencer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the heresies
rectify the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine Of Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there Is no power, whilst re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Locorocos
and destructves sought be engraed upon our prn-
cipes and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and CON-
mereial Integencer will labor TO restore the Democra-
CIV again its former vantage ground-to re-organre
its broken and dsprted egons--o rebuild It's crumo-
ll,~k ,t. itnun
and to behold it again ourishing and predominant re-
fectng 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 consummatlon II our laoors shall
prove frutess our admontions 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 RoNE MUST FALL, hedren
and earth shall iriiness that tce are innocent"
The Times and Commercial lnteiiigeneer will re-
cognze the organization Of the Republican Party IN this
CITY as was effected the meeting Of the City Hall
on the evening OF the I'd Of January, 1888. The reso
buttons and address adopted on that OCCASION Will be
referred to as consonan TO Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
