NRw YORK Nov. q 1854
GESTLKMES-I beg TO acknowledge the receipt of your
communication and to reply frankly that while in your
kind Partially have exaggerated my qualifications
or the Office of Mayor you have net trust, done
than justice to by honesty Of purpose. l agree un.
hesatngly with you, that considerations aside from,
and far above those of party involved in the APP
preaching municipal election.
Our misgovcrned city must be redeemed, and placed
in a position to which, by its magnitude wealth aud
vast commercial Importance. il is entitled II has
one Of the most unclean dsorderly and loosely gov
rncd cities in the Union. 1t has suffered not only in
haracter, but in its trade, commerce and capital from
this The lax administration of its laws the
ruption in the distribution Of its patronage the filthy
condition of its thoroughfarcs and the lack OF due pro-
lection for the lives and property Of its citizens, have
rendered its name byword in rival cities, who have
been only too ready to turn TO account these draw
backs upon its unequalcd advantages.
As one Of its citizens, bound TO it by the ties Of home
and family, of personal interest and of early associa
tions-having lived here all my life, and expecting to die
hereI have the strongest possible motives for desiring
an honest energetic and economical management of its
public affairs
Should the duties Of the Mayoralty devolvc upon me-
sternly and fearessly executed far their enforce
ment depends upon the action and influence OF the
Mayor And further heartily PROMISE If elected,
to spare possible effort to filth and danger
from streets to lessen the heavy burden Of
now almost beyond endurance and to curta the public
expenditures now outstrpping those OF many States
individuals, and untrammeed by any obligation can
respond freely and cheerfully in the Affirmative to all
the questions ably put, in the letter you have sd
dressed to me-
Of its greatness the consolidation Of its interests
the happiness and comfort Of its citizens and cannot
conceive Of higher qualification than that Of being
mited to aid in the attainment Of such results am,
gentlemen, your obt servant, JOHN J. HERRICK.
