PROPOSALS.

uI For publishing Daily Morning journal ~ New
York city, under the title OF The NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, 10 DO
devoted 10 Politics, News and Commercial lntelii-
the well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are destitute OF an organ to pronugae their opinions
and advocate their principles IN connection with the De-
mocra,c Press of the INTERIOR has been subject OF re-
,ora,ed eompaint and regret Circumstances Of fa-
yorabe nature consping measures have been ADOPTED
10 commence the publication OF the Times ana Com
msreal InteIligencer upon footing calculated 70 en-
sure It's independence and permanency
The political character Of the Times and Commerce.
IafcLlgeneer will be strictly Democratic Repuefiean' ~
will adhere to the principles Of the party which orougnI
INTO existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor to define the ancient land marks, and 70 ma
tain IN their prime vgor the ancient ussges OF tne party
which, whilst they observed, rendered ihvincr
be and secured simple and constitutional admnisua-
ton of public affairs, the same time that tney pro-
noted in the highest degree the undivided welfare anu
happiness Of the people. :,
Ia marking out this line, which both duty and ncli-
nation will prompt pursue, we desire 10 DC uhuef
stood concevng that certain measures and points OF
policy entertained by portion OF the Trends OF .he
present general administration, form no part oil the he
publican creed of binding influence but as mere ques
tons of expedency rest upon debaeabe ground, ana
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and judgment. This paper viii therefore be found IN
opposition to the untted erpedients Of the day The
country needs repose from the agtaons or demagogues
and empires II time that period of depression UNI
exampled in its DURATION and its disastrous conse-
quences should give way TO the return OF confidence
and the resumption OF the ordinary pursuits OF trade and
industry. II the measures Of the government shall be
found at variance with the suggestions Of sound policy,
are brought into collision wiihpubc sentiment, every
consideration for the public good cries aloud for their
abandonment. To convince our rulers that they mis-
take in some sense the indications of the public will
and to embody the scattered rays OF that will in
sbe and tangible FORM will be deemed to come within
the legitimate province OF Journal and 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 false posona position which exposes TO
eminent hazards which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies and which, in its threatened prostraon,
surrounds our country with the worst dangers ever APP
pretended from the ascendency OF federal misrule
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 Of Ke-
evolutionary movements in public sentiment, in states
where elections pending, we cannot regard u as
either safe Just, honorable to deylate further from
the republican track marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have IN times past
secured the umphs Of Democracy, we feel impelled to
reject the Councils which bring US nothing but defeat
and humiliation The Tunes and C0mmercidt Infefh-
pencer will therefore endeavcr expunge the heresies
which have been interpoated into our creed, and to
recty 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 re-
mains pure, that divorce our affections or iervor
from it. But from the spurious faith Of the Loeo-Foeos
and destrucves sought to be engafted upon our prn-
cipes and to be substituted in embraces we turn
with adherence and disgust. The Times and Com
ncrcial Inelgencer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy,agan to its former vantage ground-to re-organi7e
b.ol o,l tod lan,n
ling temples and re-establish its ancient ordinances
and to behold it again Aourshing and predominant re-
fecng the moralnfuence Of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests OF Its numerous people at
home. We shall rejoice to be permitted to contribute
our efforts to this contamination II our labors shall
prove frutless 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 heaDen
and earth shall ,ciiness that zoe innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intelligeneer, will re-
cognize the organization of the Republican Party this
City as it was effected at the meeting of the City Hall
on the evening of the I'd Of January 1888 The reso
utons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to as consonant to Republican principles and
adapted the present crisis in public and political
affairs.
