The well known fact that the Republicans OF this city
are destitute Of an organ TO promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles 10 connection with the De-
mocTatc Press Of the Interior has been subject OF
iierated complaint and regiet. Circumstances OF ia
yorable conspIing have been adopted
10 commence the pablcaion Of the Tunes and Com
erciai Iieiiigeneer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
Iutegsncer will be strictly Democratic Republican 1t
will adhere to the principles Of the party which brought
INTO exstence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor TO define the ancient land marks and to main
tain in their prime vgor the ancient usages Of the party
which willis: they were observed, rendered II inynci-
ble and secured simple and constitutional adminslIa-
ton OF public affairs, at the same 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 ncl-
nation will prompt topursue, we desire to be under
stood as conceyng that certain and points oil
pocy entertained by a portion OF the friends Of the
present general administration, form no part oil the he
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere ques-
tons Of expedency rest upon debateable ground ana
may be opposed according to the dictates oil conscience
and Judgment This paper will therefore DO found ~
opposition to the unfred erpedients Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons or demagogues
and empires Ii time that period OF depression I'M
exampled in its duration, and in It's disastrous conse-
quences should give way TO the return oil 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
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, sense, the indications OF the public VIII,
and TO embody the scattered rays of that will in
sble and tangible form, will be deemed TO come within
the legitimate province Of our Journal, aud to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution OF our design OF
great importance and interest to 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 a false poson-a position which exposes Il to
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, its threatened prostratlon,
surrounds country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency Of federal msrule
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space Of eight
ten months, and weigh the certain indications OF ne
evolutionary movements IN public sentiment, IN STATES
where elections are pending, we cannot regard u as
either safe, just honorable to devate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the trumphs Of Democracy, feel impeled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial Inteii-
gencer will therefore endeaycr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated 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 power, whilst It re-
mains pure that divorce affections or fervor
from it, But from the spurious faith OF the Loco Focos
and destrucves sought to be engrafed upon our prn
ciples and to be substituted in embraces turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ercia Infetgcncer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again its former vantage ground-to re-organ7e
its broken and dispirlted egonso rebuild Its crumb-
ling temples, and re-esabsh its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again Aourishing and predominant
fecng 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 abors shall
prove ruitless admontions shall not be wanting
We will make one more aemp, 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 dsappoin the hopes Of the many and the voice of
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL, heapen
and earth shall ,citness that tce are innocent"
