PROPOSALS,


York city, under the title Of the NEW YORK TIMES
AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCER, to be
devoted To Politics, News, aud Commercial inteiii-
gence.
The well known fact that the Republicans Of this city
are 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-
lterated complaint and regret. Circumstances Of Ia,
yorabe nature consplIng measures have been ADOPTED
to commence the publication Of the Times and Com
mereidt hteiigeneer upon footing calculated 10 en-
sure its independence and permanently
The political character Of the Times and Commercial
teigenoer will be strictly Democratic Republican, IL
will adhere the principles of the party which brought
into existence and sustained the late administration IL
will labor TO define the ancient land marks, ana 70 main
tain in their prime ygor the ancient nsages OF the party
which, whilst they observed, rendered u lnyinci
Bile, and secured simple and constitutional admnisia-
ton OF public affairs, at the same time that they pro-
NOTED in the highest degree the undivided welfare ana
happiness Of the people.
In marking out this line, which both duty and inc-
nation will prompt to pursue, we desire TO be under
stood conceying that certain measures and points oil
policy entertained by portion OF the friends OF the
present general administration, form no part OF the lie
publican creed Of binding influence, but as mere qnes,
tons OF expectancy rest upon debateabie ground ahd
may be opposed according to the dictates OF conscience
and Judgment. This paper will therefore be found 10
opposition to the "uRtried erpedsnts' OF the day Inc
country needs rpose from the sgtations or demagogues
and empires II time that apcrod Of depression un-
exampled in its duration, and IN It's disastrous conso-
quences should give way to the return OF confidence
and the resumption Of the ordinary pursuits OF trade ana
industry II the Of the government shaii DO
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 in some sense, the Indications OF the public VIII,
and to embody the scattered rays Of that will ina SEN
sibe and tangible brm will be deemed to como within
the legitimate pro,nce Of Journal and to compose
prominent objects in the prosecution Of our design OF
great Importance 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 poson-a position which exposes 10
eminent hazards, which is daily and hourly weakening
its energies ind which, in its threatened prostration,
surrounds oucountry with the worst dangers ever ap-
pretended from the ascendency oil federal msrue.
When we contemplate the havoc which has been made
with the Republican legons in the short space OF eight
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 inst or honorable to devate further from
the republican track" marked by the footsteps OF
those distinguished Presidents who have in times past
secured the tramphs OF Democracy we feel mpeiled to
reject the Councils which bring nothing but defeat
and humiliation, The Times and Commercial IntcHi-
gcncer will therefore endeapcr to expunge the heresies
which have BEEN nterpolated into creed, and to
rectify the erprs into which they had betrayed our
friends. To he genuine cause OF Democracy we are
sincerely welded, and there is no power, whilst i re-
mains pure, hat can divorce affections or fervor
from it, Butfrom the spurious faith OF the Loeo-Focos
and desructips sought to be engraed upon our prn-
cples, and tobe substituted in our embraces we turn
with abhorrerce and disgust The Times and Com
mcrcal Integcncer will labor to restore the Democra-
cy again to its former vantage ground-to re-organHe
its broken and dsprited legonsto rebuild its crumb-
linufn and fnb its
and to behold it again fourshng and predominant, re-
fectng the moranuence of this great republic abroad
and protecting the interests OF its numerous people at
home, We shall rejoice to be permitted TO contribute
efforts to this consummation. If our labors shall
prove fnitless admonitions shall not be wanting.
We will make one more attempt to put the good ship
before the wind and to her gallant and pre-
cious freight If afterwards the madness OF the few
shall dsppon the hopes Of the many, and the voice OF
destiny shall proclaim that ROME FALL, heapen
and Garth shall aotness that ace arc innocent"
The Times and Commercial Intciigencer, will
cogniEe the Organization of the Republican Party this
City it effected at the meeting of the City Hall
the evening of the I'd Of January, 1888 The reso-
utons and address adopted on that occasion, will be
referred to consonant to Republican principles and
adapted to the present crisis in our public and political
affairs.
