PROPOSALS,


York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, TO be
devoted TO Politics, News, and Commercial intelll-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute Of an organ to promugste their opinions,
nd advocate ,her principles in connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject OF re-
itcrated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia,
yorable nature consprng measures have been adopted
10 commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereial Inieiigsner upon footing Calculated " en-
sure its independence and permanency
Iaiegeneer will be strictly Democratic Repaciiean
will adhere to the principles Of the party which oIough
into existence and sustained the late administration ~
will labor TO define the ancient land marks and 70 nam
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages o. the P
which, whilst they were observed, rendered u m.iher
ble and secured simple and constitutional admnsua-
ton OF public affairs, at the same time that tney pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare ano
happiness of the people ;,
In marking out this line which both duty and incli-
nation will prompt topursue, we desire TO be UNDER
stood concerning that certain measures ana points
policy entertained by a portion OF the friends OF ihe
present general administration, form no part Of the re-
publican creed Of binding influence but as mere ques,
lions of expedency rest upon debateabe ground, ana
may be opposed according to the dictates Of conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found IN
opposition to the unted e1pedienfs of the day The
and emprics Il time that period OF depression UNI
examped in its DURATION and in its disastrous conse-
auences should give way to the return oil 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 Tor their
abandonment. To convince our rulers that they mis-
take, in sense, the indications OF The pubic WILL
and 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will in SEN
A =. hin
the legitimate province Of 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 towardslts oPpo
nents in false postion-a position which exposes 10
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prosraton,
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 Of Re-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment IN states
where elections pending, we cannot regard It as
either safe just honorable to deviate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the trumphs of Democracy, feel impeed to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation. The Times and Commercial Inteiii-
geneer will therefore endeavcr to expunge the hereses
which have been interpolaed into our creed, and to
rectify the into which they had betrayed our
friends. To the genuine cause oil Democracy we are
sincerely welded and there is power, whilst il re-
mains pure that can divorce affections fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith Of the Loco Foeos
and desructves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cples and to be substituted in our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust The Times and Com
mereal Inteigcneer will labor to restore the Democra-
CIV again to its former vantage groundto re-organze
its broken and dspted legions-to rebuild Its crumb-
ling temples and reestabsh its ancient ordinances
and behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
Aectng 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 this consummation. II our labors shall
prove fruitess 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 dsappont the hopes Of the many and the voice Of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, heapcn
and earth shall ,rtness that icc are innocent"
