SEND IT ALoNG.-EGitor Stdr:-Mr Swami
who was the principal engineer at the Island
Hall stairway meeting, that nominated Messrs
Elvans, Murtash, Edison, and Mitchell, for the
ward ticket, announced at the Richards con-
yention that the Chronicle would be furnished
10 every voter in the Seventh Ward until cleo
ton day. Well, don't get it half the time, and
my nelghbors axe the same complaint. 1t is
sort OF handy about the house for wrapping
paper, and for other purposes besides sseduca-
ttoaaf' ones, and we miss it. Everybody misses
II, except possibly the vendors OF the celebrated
s'Gayety paper" But perhaps Messrs. Swami
Co. discover that they have made mistake.
They seem to have supposed that the people
OF the Seventh Ward were rather an ignorant,
and rather pauper population, very much in
need of political information they were not
quite able 10 pay for. Now the Seventh War
ders do not boast large proportion of wealthy
men in their numbers, but they manage to make
both ends meet, and to subscribe for-and pan
for-as many newspapers and magazines as an
equal population in any other part of the city
and as there seems to have been some doubt
entertained amongst those engaged in clrcu-
lating the Chronicle gratis in the benighted
districts of the city, whether enough of the
voters OF the Seventh Ward sscohid read" to
make it pay to send the Chronicle here, would
say that the alphabet prevails 10 some extent
IN this ward, and Our common schools will,
II is believed, compare favorably with those
elsewhere.
plebeians are 10 be properly educated politi-
caily by the first day OF June, our eleenosy-
nary journal of Instruction must be furnished
more punctually. So hurry 1T mp!
