THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol, 1X.—No, 25, Whole No. 3238 . TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I beg leave to give notice to the AMERICAN PEOPLE, of all classes and conditions, that I am making prepara- tions to republish, in the cheapest style, and in the week- ly quarto form of newspapers, a diversified ond valuable selection from the RELIGIOUS LITERATURE of Chris tianity, produced by the men of genius belonging to every sect during the last two hundred years. ‘The reason for attempting such a project is plain. Ma- terialiem, infidelity and immorality, of all kinds, have of late been industriouuly circulated throughout the country under such imposing names, and to so great an extent, that something must be done to revive the ancient spi rit of Religion an.) Morals. Lecturers of all kinds—so- phists on every subject—the worat and wickedest litera tureof France and England, re-produced in the cheapest forms, have demoralized the age—and upset all the esta lished land marksof morality and religion throughout the land. It's therefore necessary that something should be done But who is to do it? If none other will, I shall. I propose to republish in the cheapest form, in quick succession, a selection from the works of the best and purest RELIGIOUS AU THORS, be they Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, or any other denomination. These se- lections will not be on religious controversy—but such as treat on practical piety—on good works—and on the ge neral principles of Christianity, without the bad spirit of sectarianism. To carry out this project well, I possess a large printing establish:ment, and the Henazv, a dally newspaper, of thirty thousand circulation, now considered the principal advertising organ in the country, capable of giving t broughout the Union inteliigence of these works as they appear. This Printing Establishment comprises 10 presses, 60 printers, 10,000 pounds of type, andaconsump tion of about 800 reams of paper, of all kinds, per week. We have every means in our power to carry this pro- ject into operation—apd we believe that the American public is ready to aidand assist any man, who will throw himself into the breach, and endeavor to revive the an- cient piety, virtue, and principles of our forefathers, in opposition to modern scepticism and immorelity, which are stealing stealthily over the present generation, under the masks of geology, mesmerism, fourierism, finance, neurology, transcendentalism, human perfectability, and the whole train of modern philosophy and light literature. JAMES GORDON BENNETT. To Business Advertisers.

By these documents it will be seen that the Herald has much larger circulation than the Sun, and is therefore decidedly the best for advertising. Yet we would not ask any person to select either paper, contrary to their own views and feelings. The paper maker for the Sun is avery respectable and very honorable man—and a capi- tal paper manufacturer. So also are our paper makers, Messrs, Persse and Brooks, with whom we have dealt to the extent of nearly $250,000 in paper, Advertisers will remember these facts.

J18 tr Great Report ON CLEANING THE STREETS, Boaxp or Atpermen, Jan. 23, 1843. The following Report was received from the Spe- cial Committee on the contract for cleaning the streets, which was laid on the table, double the usual number printed, and that the same be publish- ed in all the daily papers. t ‘The same direction was given to the accompany- ing Protest of the minority of said Committee, against the action of the majority, Jos. H. Taytor, Clerk. The Special Committee of both Boards who were ap- Pointed in pursuance of a resolution, adopted by the Board of Aldermen on the Ist of August, 1842, concurred in by the Board of Assistant Aldermen on the 8th of August, 1842, and returned by the Mayor without objections, on the 7th of September, 1342, by which it was provided, that a Special Committee of three members from each Board should be appointed, who should have power to make @ contract or contracts for cleaning the streets, wharves ard piers, for a term not exceeding five years, conditioned for the faithful performance of the work a Provided by the eleventh chapter of the Revised Ordinan- ces, entitled “Of the Department for Cleaying Streets,” said contract to embody the provisions of Document No. 74 of the Board of Aldermen, of March 8, 1841; and who were, by aresolution, adopted by both Boards, notwith- standing the objections of the Mayor, on the 16th of Janu- ary, 1843, empowered and authorized to enter into a con- tract, (the form of which is contained in Document No. 54 of the Board of Aldermen, of December, 14, 1842,) with some suitable person or persons, and to cause the common seal of thecity to be affixed thereto, upon receiving from the contractor or contractors good and sufticie: if to the Corporation in such form and sums oe the laid Con, mittee should approve, for the faithful performance there- of, in obedience to an ordinance to provide for the accoun. tability of Executive Committees of the Common Council passed January 1, 1841, respectfully report, i That after their appointment un ier the resolution first above referred to, they entered upon the consideration of the subject embraced therein, and upsn full and mature consideration, the y came to the conciusion that a contract based upon the existing ordinances relative to cleaning streets and upon the conditions annexed to the reportof a former committee of the Common Council, and embraced in document No. 74 of the Board of Aldermen, of March 8, 184, would be wholly inadequate to the al the ohject for which they were appointed, in would on theone hand have omitted many of the matters which should have teen comprised in such a contract,and on the other, would have imposed upon the contractors. stipulations so unreasonable in their nature, aa to here prevented its assumption by competent and responsible Parties, or have effected that end, greatly short of the «conomy which the committee and the Common Council were desirous to consult. Convinced as they were that this must be the result, and having no authority under the restricted powers conferred upon them, to obviate the ob- jections, they resolved to submit the subject to the Com- mon Council, and they accordingfy presented an unani- mous report with the draft of a contract, whi h alter full discussion in both Boards, ani the introduction of various amendments, was adopted by the Board of Aldermen on the ldth, and by the Board of Assistant Aldermen on the 28d of December, 1842; and the committee by resolution, “empowered and authorised to enter into the same with some suitable person or persons, and to cause the common seal of the city to be affixed thereto, upon receiving from the contractor or contractors, good and sufficient security to the Corporation, in such form and sum as the said com. mittee shall approve, for the faithful performance thereef.” (For the form of the contract and resolution, as thus adopt. sae Doc.

The committee, inthe meantime, and belore the veto of the Mayor, ulz though not required to do so, deemed it Proper to cali for estimates for the proposed contract, and accordingly caut- sed the following notice to be published for two weeks in the papers employed by the Corporation “CLEANING STREET: “ Sealed proposals for cleaning the street, wharves and slips, agreeable to the contrac the Common Council, for the period years, separately,and respectively, will be receive. ottice of the Clerk of the Common Council, No. Hall, until Saturday the 14th day of January next.

Upon the organization of the Committee, the Chairman stated that he had con- vened them for the purpose of opening and considering the proposals which had been received for the contract for cleaning the streets. Before proceeding to do so, it was unanimously resolved, that the contract should be given to the lowest bidder, whose bid should appear to have been made in good faith, and that no proposals snould be acted upon, which did not conform to the notice in respect to the certificate of the assent of the sureties proposed.

In respect to No. 2, the proposal of Andrew Brady and Patrick Moore,the committee conceived that their original proposal for $44,500, and for which sufficient sureties were oltered, with their assent in writing, was withdrawn by their note above set forth, substituting a proposal of $4 }, Without the offer of new sureties, or the assent of those whom the 1 The Committee thereupon adjo half past seven o'clock on the evening of t ; (January 17th,) and met accordingly ; all the members of the Committee being present, excepting Assistant Al- derman Exquirol, who was still absent trom the city. They thereupon proceeded to considerthe several propo: sals which remained before them, after the rejection of those above enumerated, amounting to eleven in number, and took them up in the order iti which they are above set forth. ‘The first was that of Bartlett Smith, for $24,934. Al- derman Martin moved that the contract should be given to Bartlett Smith, he being the lowest bidder therefor ; but the Committee, after fali consideration, deeming that the offer, upon the face of it, was not made in good faith, the sum contained in it being palpably inadequate to the performance of the work embraced in the contract, with but one dissenting voice, (Alderm artin,) rejected the proposal, whereupon Alderman Martin withdrew. The reasons which brought the Committee to this conclusion will be hereafter sta‘ed ‘The next proposal which they considered, was No. 4 that of John P. Cumming and Thomas Cumming, jinr. This proposal was in like manner rejected by the Com- mittee, for the same reasons which had induced their ac- tion in the case of Bartlett Smith. Much diseussion, how- ever, was bad upon it, one of the members of the Commit- tee, (Alderman Davies,) having expressed himself in favor of giving the contract to the Messrs. Cumming. But, upon a full consideration of the gutject, and of the facts and reasons which are hereafter particularly stated, the Committee arrived atthe conclusion, that the proposal of the Messrs. Camming, being ro far below those which bad been made by other parties, who had had great experi- ence in the performance of ‘the very work in qnestion, one of whom, (Mr. Gage,) the late Superintendent of Streets, had proposed for $60,000; another of them, (Mr. Berrian,)a former Superintendent of Streets, had proposed for $72,000, and athird, (Mr. Pettigrew,) who has been long employed under the Corporation, in the performance of work very similar in its character, and most competent to judge in’ reverence to the subject, who had proposed for $79,000; and who had offered, as one of his sureties jor the periormance of the contract, Mr. Thomas Cumming. one ofthe very sureties offered by the Messrs. Cumming ; and being, moreover, wholly disproportionate to the ex: pense incurred by the city for the last seven years, which has annually averaged $110,000, could not be considered by the Committee as made in good faith, or as, upon its own face, giving to the city an assurance ef its faithful performance. There were other facts also, in support of this conclusion, which lett the Committee no room to doubt the propriety of their de‘e'mination, and to which they shall presently invite the attention of the Board. ‘The next proposal which came under the consideration of thecommittee was No. 8, that of Joseph Britt for $64,500 for five years; the others, those between the pro- sal of the Messrs.

To afford these parties an op- ity to consult together upon the subject, the com- adjourned untilthenext day, January Isth,) at 3 o'clock, P.M. A: the time appointed, the Committee again met, all the members being present, excepting Assistant Allerman Esquirol, who was still absent from the city. Messrs, Britton, Carnley and Townsend also appeared, and stated that they were ready to accede to the proposal to asso- ciate together in the execution of the contract, and that they were then ready to execute it, and to gi ties for its performance on their part, Messrs. Rin Wortendyke, Daniel W. Townsend and Richard F. Car- man. The sureties thus offered being known to the Com mittee to ve abundantly responsible, were accepted with out objection ; andthe contract and bond were directed to be presented to the committee, and the contractors, at To’clock,P.

The committee therenpon, alter directing the contract and bond to be filed in the Comptroller's office, which ha; been done, ad- journed sine di The Committee have thus stated, fully and m detail, the course of their action in the performance of the high and responsible trust devolved upon them by the Common Council. In the performance of their duty, whilethey have been conscious that they would be called upon to encounter the denunciations of partisan clamor on theone hand, and of disappointed applicants on the other, they have endeavored fearlessly and firmly to meet the respon: sibility cast upon them, and regardless of all other consi- dorations, to be guided by a just sense of the magnitude of the interests committe! to their care. Sofar as they are personally concerned, they are prepared to disregard an impeachment of ‘heir motives, which they know to be unjust as it isunfounded. They feel it to be due to them- selves, however, no less than to the body whose agents trey are, and to the constituents through whose confi dence they have been called upen to act, and to whose su- pervision they cheerfully hold themselves amenable, to set forth fully the facets upon which they acted, and the reasons which have influenced their action. And the: will not permit themselves to doubt, when-those tacts reasons are dispassionately considered, whatever difleren- ces of opinion may exist, if any, as to the soundness of the discretion which they have exercised, none will be enter- tained as tothe disintereatedness and purity of motive by which their conduct has been governed It is wetl Known to the Common Council, that prior to the year 1836, a different system existed in relation to the cleaning of the streets ofour city from the one which has ever since that time been in use, They were formerly required to be cleaned by the citizens, under severe pe nau for the omission to periorm that duty, and hence the nal burden upon the treasury of the city was ve- ry light, while that upon the citizens individually, was found to be oppressive and intolerable. In order to ob viate this evil, the Common Council weve almost unan- imously called upon to adopt a system, by which the bur den should be removed from individual citizens, and by the establishment of a department upon whom the duty should be cast, and to be upported by a general tax, the expense referred to, eq dand reduced. A department lor cleaning streets wns accordingly organized end placed under the direction of a superintendent, street inspectors, and other officers spe ially charged with its management and a supply of all the means necessary {o carry it into full effect and to sustain its operstions, was assimed by the Common Council. At the head of this department were placed by successive Common Councils, according as the mscendaney of political parties wae change, men who were known to be well aequ tinted with the subject, and in whose integrity a was gi et again at same day bli, that the department wont wirely onomically adm 1. It isonly necessary to lito the recollection of the Board the names of Abra hom Hatfield. t ent Alderman of the Eleventh Ward John M.

For t, the idea of contracting the cleaning of the streets has been favorably regarded by the community, and though both parties have beon loud in their profes: sions of retrenchment, for some reason, which your Com mittee will not attempt to assign, those who have hitherto had the controlof the city government, have supposed that their ascendancy was best maintained, or the inter- ests of the city were not best protected, by allowing the system to remain as it was, With the exception of a mo meni in 1841 inthe Common Council, to effect a reform by * cleaning the streets by contract, and which failed hy rea- son of aconvenient division of opinion of the two Boards upon the details of the contract, though both adopted its propriety for aterm of years, ‘no serious effort has been made, until the action of the present Common Council upon the subject, to lighten in this respect the burden upon thecily treasury. A reference to the proc the Board of Aldermen of that year will show t port made by the then committe aning streets, of both Boards, of whic! chairman, and constituting docum: men of that year, recommending the cleaning of the streets by contract for three years, was avopted by that Board without a division, ard that the only proposition upon which any difference of opinion existed, was the di- vision of the contract into districts, which was rejected by avoteof 13to 1. (Proceedings of the Board of Aldermen, Vot.20, p. 421, 422.) When the subject came before the Board of Assistant Aldermen, the resolution was rejected bva vote of § to 8. (Proceedings of the Board of Assistants Vol. 18, p. 212, 213) T resolution which was thus adopted ‘unanimously by the Board of Aldermen, and jected by an equal division of the Board of Assistants, is in the following words :— “ Resolved, That the cleaning of the streets of the city of New York be given out by contract for threely ears, un. der the direction of the committees on the cleaning streets of both boards, tu the lowest vr, on the conditions hereto annexed, n bonds, with good security to be ap- minittees of both Boards, being rormance of the contr Such offer of the lowest bidder not to be ed by , unless they shall believe it to be made in good faith, and the said bilder is a person of sutticient ability to perform the said contract.” (Proceedings of the Board of Assis- tants, Vol. 17, p.222.) While thes: proceedings were pending betore the Com. mon Council, the late Comptrolier, Mr. Smith, of whom it may be ssid without disparagement, that his views of sity economy bordered upon parsimony, presented in his annual report, an estimateof the expenses which would require to be met by taxation, for 1841, on the 97th page of which he calls tor the ‘ollowi ig sum—" Cleaning streets, (by contract) $35,000 ;” and the committee do uot doubt that in making this estimate, he was aided notonly by past experience, in respect to the expenditures of the city for this object, showing an average annual expenditure for the preceding six years, of more than $110,000, but by the advice and co operation of the experienced head of that’ department, and of the committee on cleaning streets. It must be borne in mind, also, that in neither of the ex- penditures which have been above particularly set forth, nor in the contract which was then proposed, was inclu: ded the expense of sweeping the public markets, which, as will be seen by the Comptroller’s report of the last year, ‘mounted to $4000, and which, for several years past, has rarely fallen below that sum. And further, that by the 1 roposed contract a further and very material saving wiil ne essarily be effected pensing with anamber ot ward officers, whose salaries have not been embraced in any of the items of annual expenditure above set forth. With all thoes facts before the Committee, showing an average annual expenditure of about $119,000 tor the per- formance of the work which was to be embreced inthe contract committed to them, with the fact, thatthe able and experienced financial officer as referred to upon his official responsibility cailed for a tax of $35,000, upon a contract embracing less work by $4000 than the present with the additional fact, that the proposals which we laid before them by men weil versed in the subject, aud anxious to obtain the contr.ct, and who it may be fairly inferred, from motives o interest, estimated as low as they could aftord, ranged from about the amount allowed to the present contractors up to $75,000, and even beyond that sum, the question submitted to the consideration ot the committee was one involving great discretion, while they are willing to admit it carried with it great respons: bility. But when, in addition to this, it is remembered, that at a former board, acting directly tipon this subject, and without a dissenting voice, adopted, as has been seen, ine sterms, the principle that the “offer of the low: est bigder should not be accepted by the committee, unless the ould believe it m mgood faith, and that the bidder was a erson of sufficient ability to perform the contract;” and when, moreover, it is taken into view, that ‘a proposition to instruct the committee in the present case to give the contr to the lowest bidder, was distin sented to the board, and rejected by them, the li duty which they were to pursue was too plain to be mis- taken. Were they to shut their eyes tothe fact, known to every mon in the least degree conversant with the subject of estimates and proposals for contracts, that they are constantly made at rates wholly nadequate to their fulfilment, and when accepted resulting in ruin to one or both of the contracting parties? Were they to overlook the fact, that in contracts of this description, the pock- ets of their fellow citizens have been drained for extra etimes, they have areward for partizan services, and oc- haps, even from a less worthy motive ? ho attention to the fact that those who have labored to effect a retrenchment in th» bardens upon our citizens, by the measure In question, have been met at every ste 4 partisan avowslof reputiation? Were they, in short, to place the execution of the contract in the hands of men who bid for itat a rate which shewed upon its very tace that they either could not, or dud not in tend to periorm it? ff there be any thing ‘in the ment assumed ageinst the action of the Committee were bound to overlock all these consi execute the contract with Bartlett Smith, at offer so absurd upon its face that if they had a they could not have hoped to escape the censure and in- dignation of every sensible man. If they were justified in rejecting this proposal, they are also justified upon the principal that they were bound to take into consideration the whole ject matter of the contract, and to act. in relerence to it, according to the dictates of a sound dis cretion. This discretion was given to them by the Com- men Council, by their action in relusing to restrict them to the lowest bidder ; and if they had refused to be gov. erned by it, they would have signally failed in the per: formance of the high trust committed to their hands Were they not then equally bound to exercise the same discretion in regard te other proposals, higher in amount, though equally inadequate to the object’ which it was their duty to attain? Ifthey had a right to reject the proposal of Mr. Smith, they conceive that they equally a right to reject that of the Messrs. Cummin they believed it not to be made in good faith, of which they were only enabled to juige by the gross ‘and mani fest disproportion between the work to be done and the sum asked for its performance. This disproportion is abundantly shown hy the facts to which the Committee have already called the attention of the Board. Nor isthe force ot this argument answered by the fact, that those partivs may possibly have been enabled to perform their contract by the only means by which it could be per- forme reduction of the amount to be paid for labor. The Committer trust that the day is far distant, when it will be adopted as a part of the policy of our city, to effect even a retrenchment in i's expenditures, by grinding the facesofthe poor; and they can only assure the Board, that if such be now its policy, it must be carried out by other hand: than theirs. In conclusion, the Committee will only observe they have not only performed their duty, witho' feeling other than that of a com whole community, but that they ha best lights they had before them, with a strong an est desire to ensure the success of an important retorm, and to place in the hands of the city the certain means of effecting that reform. This ge jen pa in beg Bed ving the city a succession of law suits against sureties, But by the execution of a contract which they had the Dest ion to believe could and would be performed. They atiously believe that its entire fuilure aid have the consequence of any other cours than that which they have pursued; and relying upon the conscious purity of their own moti nd the Candid and dispassionate judgment of the Board, and of their fellow citizens, they indulgé the Confitent expectations that the course which they trave adopted will b» sustained.

Political Movements—Quarrels in the Party—Cros- well nnd Van Dyck divide—Croswell Triumph Singular State of Things. My Dear Sm The great division line is drawn. The great Democratic party is absolutely divided, That party which rode into power with a majority of 22,000 last November, has become broken up; all caused by the first attempt to distribute che spoils. The paltry question of state printing has accomplished this. The quarrel between Croswell and Van Dyck was thought at first to have been a mere counterfeit; but it now appears, from transactions which have recently been brought to light, that the difficulties are irreconcila ble, and that a dissolution of eonfidence, if not in their business, must inevitably oceur. The agita tion on this subject has been beyend all precedent, and both divisions of the party have carried on a most shametul personal warfare. The excitement commenced in the Senate, but has extended itself to every little cur in the ranks—whilst the whigs, both in and out of the legislature, are laughing in their sleeves at the Kilkenay fight. Although not in the secrets, I have been able to learn this much, which you may rely upon as being correct:—Van Dyck asserts that an agreement was entered into with Croswell, when he (V_ 1D.) became a partner, that when the State hecame demoeratic, then bis (Ven Dyck’s) name shouid be presented to the legislature for the office of State Printer. Under this arrangement, Van Dyck claimed the sole ap- pointment, which would bring Croswell down oa his marrow bones, and give Van Dyck the control of the columns of the etate paper. I am informed that Croswell denies, unequivocally and unreserved- ly, that any sueh a proposition was ever made, or it made, was never acceded to, The friends of the Croswell party assert that Flag, Young, Barker, and Van Dyck have entered into a determined conspiracy to break down the adminis- tration of Governor Bouck ; and that Denniston Sherwood, Scott and Ruger, of the Senate, and Leland, Ketchum, Jones, Pentz, Sherweod, and Hubbard, of the House, are also engaged in the plot. This is attributed to the well known tact of there being an organized opposition to the nomination of. ernor Bouck, and as far as the Governor can ascertain, he refuses counsel from, or with, any of that clique. The Flagg and Hoffman party are the ultras, or more correctly defined, ‘the. locofoose proper—that is, being opposed to expending another larin internal improvements, until the last far- thing of the state debt shall be extinguished—which means that all the public works that have been com- menced, and not completed, shall be suflered to decay and dilapidate, thereby rendering entirely useless ail the vast expenditures already made upon them. If Mr. Comptroller Flagg supposes that he ean organise and cement together a party upon such grounds, and with such prineiples, he'll Lad bimeelt very much mistaken, I think. On the other hand, Croswell has entered for the cordial support ef the administration, right orwrong —believing that the doctrine of the message will b sustained by the banking and internal improvement. interests in the State. ‘This policy is in perfect ac cordance with his feelings, and will, he imagines, prove more to his advantage. Jn this he is sustained by Foster, Corning, Wright, Bartett, Varian and Lott, of the Senate, and Davis, (Speaker,) Church, M’Murray, Hathaway,and Thompson of the House. Yesterday, the printing bill (rom the House was agreed to in the Senate. It authorises the appeint- ment of State printer by joint ballot. A caucus 1s held to-night, when Edwin Croswell will be nomi- nated, and on Satnrday at noon, the two houses will meet to legalize the anpointment Then Van Dyck will withdraw from the Argus, associate himee|t with O’Rielly, start a new paper, and fire away at the administration, The office beggars are in high dudgeon with his Excelleney. Many of therm supposed that the mere presentation of theircredentials of thorough partizan- ship, was all that was necessary, and that the offi in expectancy would be immediately bestowed — But as yet no one has received the least intimation. ‘There are more than five hundred hungry curs, who have been here ever since the first of the month, on expenses which most of them cannot afford, who have not, to this hour, any knowledge of the Gov- ernor’s intentions, and I would gently hint to the keepers of public houses to keep a watchfal eye over their bar and board bills, as soon as the Executive mill begins to grind.
