PROPOSALS,


York city, under the title Of The NEW YORK TINES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLlGENCER, to be
devoted TO Politics. News, and Commercial Intelli-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
destitute OF an organ TO promugate their opinions,
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocrac Press Of the interior, has been subject Of re-
iterated complaint and regret Circumstances OF ia
yorabe nature consprng measures have been adopted
to commence the publication Of the TUNES and Com
mereai iateigeHeer upon footing calculated to en-
sure its independence and permanency.
The political character OF the Times and Commercial
Iaiethgencer will be strictly Democratic Republican IL
will adhere the principles Of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration II
will labor to define the ancient land marks and 10 MAIN
tain in their prime ygor the ancient usages OF the party
which, willis, they were observed, rendered II nyincl-
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional admlnIstra-
ton Of public affairs at the 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 ineii-
nation will prompt to pursue we desire to be under
stood conceiyng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by a portion Of the friends OF The
present general administration form no part OF he We
publican creed of binding influence, but as mere ques
tons Of expedency rest upon debateabe grouhd anu
may be opposed according TO the dictates OF conseeno
and Judgment. This paper will therefore DC ouna ~
opposition to the 'unricd erpcens' OF the day Inc
country needs epose from the agations or demagogues
and empires II is time that period OF depression u
exampled in its duration, and in its disastrous eonse
quences should give way to the return OF commence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits oil trade ana
industry If the measures Of the government shall DO
found atvarance with the suggestions OF sound pohcy'
or arc brought into collision with public sentiment every
consideration for the public good cries aloud Tor the
abandonment. To convince our rulers, that they mis-
take in some sense, the indications OF the public WIZ,
and 10 embody the scattered rays Of that will I'M SEN
sible and tangible form, will be deemed to come wthin
the legitimate province OF our Journal ana 10 compose
prominent objects in the prosecution oil our desgh' OF
great Importance and interest to every class oil the com
munlty
We cannot resist the conviction that the Republican
party Of this State has been placed towards It's oppo
nents in a false postion-a position which exposes 10
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, IN its threatened prostratio
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal msrule.
When contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican egons in the short space OF eight
or months and weigh the certain indications OF ke-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, IN states
where elections are pending, cannot regard 1t as
either SAFE just or 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 lmpeed TO
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Times and Commercial IHfeih-
genccr will therefore endeaycr to expunge the hereses
which have been nterpolated into our creed, and to
rectfy the errors into which they had betrayed our
friends To the genuine cause OF Democracy we arc
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 Loco Foeos
and destrucves sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cpes and to be substituted IN our embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ercial Ineigcnccr will labor to restore the Democra
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organIe
its broken and asprited egons-to rebuild its crumb-
lin and
and to boAod it again fourishng and predominant re-
fleeing the moral influence Of this great republic abroad
ard protecting the interests OF It's numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this consummation II our abors shall
prove fruitless our admontons 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 II afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsappont the hopes OF the many and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME MUST FALL, hcdpen
and earth shall ,oitness that pe arc innocent"
