The CONDITION OF THE STREErs-THE
MAYORS MEssAGE-On Friday last the Mayor
sent to the Board of Councilmen q special
message in relation to the condition of the
streets 1t is very short, and we reproduce
it: -

To THE HoSoRApIE THE BOARD OF CoUStTLxEy -
GENTrEMEy-The condition of the streets of tho city
arising from the extraordinary collection of ice aa
snow, calls for immediate and effective action. In

injury is beyond estimate. thaw, which will be

prompt and decisive seton. have poser to expend
dollar for the purpose without the authority of the
Common Council to do Permit me, therefore, RI
ask that you vi give the necessary authority a. yous

Of Aldern en- it concur, that may for .hwith

serious damages are inflicted upon tho property and
health of our citizens. FERNANDO " pod, Mayer.
This resolution was referred to the Commit
tee on Cleaning Streets, and report is ex-
pected tonight. We trust that the members
of that committee have taken walk about he
city, and have attended to their duty ia the
matter. They must have seen that there i
urgent necessity for strong action at once,
They must have seen that there is immineus
danger Of an overflow unless tde saow and ice
are removed, and that the injury TO locai
trade is lar greater than the most liberal
appropriation they arc disposed to make
viii amount to. They must have seen that no
work az been done u tie Street Department
for forty days. They must nave seen that the
present condition Of The streets Is a disgrace to
the city. If they have looked a. matters in
the street bureau hey must have seen that, Oh

head OF the departments placed, bu. little can
be expected from IT,

work must be done ~ Mr.. Morgal / Mott,

such buresu-is sufficient cause for the Com
mon Council to give the Mayor this power.
We hope that such resolution will be re-
ported-tbat the Councilmen will pass it imme.
diately, and the Aldermen will concur. AT
such time, and in such cause, little jealou
sizes and formalities may be passed over for the
public good-and the public good demands
mperatively that the streets should be cleaned

ings of the administration In the affairs o.
Kansas, that we are indebted for this oninous
condition of things touching the destiny of
that Territory.
Had we Congress of reliable character
we might with confidence appeal to that arm
of the government for safety. Even as 1T is
we are left no other resource. IT should, then,
be the first duty of the conservatives of Con
gress, by some firm and juaicious course OF
action, to arrest the impending civil war in
Kansas-to secure the peace of the Territory,
and the peaceable and honest solution of the
doctrine of popular sovereignty" This ear
not be done by the .untimely admission of Kan-
sas as free State or as slave State. The
iseue. has not been fairly settled by the people.
The first thing required is the restoration and
maintenance Of public order. In this regard,
the administration having proved itself incom-
petsnt, It Is the first duty Of Congress, we
repeat, to act, and to sct efficiently and deci-
sively, In. enforcing upon the Kansas belliger-
ents due Observance Of their organic law.
The special message of Governor Chase is
inHammable, fanatical and revolutionary. It
may result in widespread mischief if not
promptly counteracted by congressional action
We therefore urge upon the Conservatives Of
all parties in Congress Immediate action for
the maintenance of peace in Kansas, and of the
principles of the Kansas-N Nebraska bill and the
supreme law of the land.

that the proposal to "root QUIT that alleged

point where the shoe would pinch. We could

quered the country, it is an affair
to be settled by the sovereign peo-

simply binds the United States government

Lord Palmerston shall express his readiness to

1t seems that the anti-slayery squstters Of

of an impending overwhelming invasion OF
Missourians have Issued circular to all The
Governors Of the Northern States asking for
financial and material aid The Governor
Of Ohio promptly responds. and his agents l..

Resolutions are pending, the object OF which
Is TO force Congress to The immediate recoeai-

These resolutions will doubtless he passed in
Ohio and in other Northera States as soon as
possible; and. to the exclusion 81 ali OH !

Upon Congress Of The Kansas question, upon
the ultimatum of her admission as a free
State at once.
Thus this border issue is assuming tue
shape. not Of border feud, but Of an
incipient general civil war between the
North and South. The violent tone aud tenn

desire on hts part to transfer The quarrel from
