CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GODLINESS.
Ijf view of the filthy condition of New York streets, as compared oven with Loudon thoroughfares, the following protest has been handed-in to the Aldermen of the Empire City : ' Whereas, we, the people of New York, by grace of God five and independent, and cleanly by instinct, object on principle to paying for work that is not performed ; and ' Whereas, our principal street crossings arc in a chronic pig-sty condition and
' Whereas, we, the sovereign unalderraanio people arc not pigs, and ' Whereas, we, tho greatest nation on the footstool, object to take a back seat behind effete monarchical nations in public cleanliness, and ' Whereas, twenty stalwart men wielding twenty stiff broms at twenty Broadway crossings two half hours each day would insure fairly clean foot-passages for citizens who pay for street-cleaning ; be it
'Resolved that the estimable and honourable Corporation of New York City be, and hereby are authorised and requested to do their duty to their employers, the people, in the aforesaid mauner in the interest of civic decency, moral duty, and the greater glory of our country.'
