The FREE HYpRANTs AND THE CORPORATION
What are the authorities doing in reference to the
free hydrants Are they ignorant of the dapidat-
ed condition in which scores of them are to be
found Are they not aware that many Of our
streets will shortly be rendered almost impossible
by the accumulation OF ice around these hydrants !;
and the lives and limbs Of our citizens consequently
endangered, unless they put perfect repair =

cd When shall we have Common Council that
will perform their duty in correcting these inter-
minable abuses 1t will doubtless be recollected

winter, from the cause before stated. II will also
be remembered how loud the party at present in
the ascendant power, were in their condemnation
that such state Of things should be allowed to ex-
ist The subject, however, now appears to have
been completely forgotten or, in other words, it is
no longer deemed worthy Of their profound cousder
a'ion their particular attention at the present time
being directed TO the Importance OF effectnQ such
alteration In the City Charter as will secnre for
them, If reelected TO their present seats fat salaries
and good sIppers tor the next three years to come:
and with view Of streng,hen,ng their own force
others not at present provided for il s contemplated
TO create new Ward, by dividing the Sixteenth,
and perhaps the Twelfth into two.

negouate treaty of peace with the United States
very likely that one Of the hrst steps that Con-
gress VIII take, will be To- authorise the President
70 immediately arrange oar affairs with Mexico,
either by negotiation or by force
