Herald instead OF the morning, Out as 10 passing l"0
two dollars worth of shinplasters to their credit we
never will and never can. We shall duly return
them by mail to the source from which they sprung
for conceive public measure 80 un)ushhaDle as
that made by many corporations and individuals
since the fatal suspension of specie payments 70 force
upon the community an odous, unjust, corrupt and
illegal issue of rredeemabe paper to pass for money
We are sorry to say, ALSO that, in this immoral
and reacherous course Philadelphia, the city OF good
morals and just principles, has taken the lead through
out the Union. 1t is measure stimulated by corrupt
Bankers, ignorant fnanciers, and grasping srecula-
tors. Neither is there necessity. Since the United
States became an Independent nation, there never
much specie in the country as there IS at this
moment. The whole exports of specie since the llth
of May have not exceeded $5 100000 and one half OF
that came in, during the same period, from foreign
countries. In this city, since the people began TO
make resoue resistance to impudent shn-plasters
the gold and silver currency is again appearing We
take each day at counter nearly SlOO IN specie,
or the bills of incorporated banks at the specie vaua-
ton. The city government of Now York were solci-
ted to shin planters in imitation of the fools OF
Philadelphia. They did not do so, and they merit
the thanks of the community for their frmness and
correct principles OF action.
For these and various other reasons, we return
the Philadelphia shin plasters to our esteemed
correspondents, from conviction that could not die
a peaceable death, if to sanction atrocious,
so Illegal so criminal, impudent an attempt TO in
vegle the community, as that perpetrated by "the
City and County ofPhlndelphia" These corporations
have no souls TO save-I have-so there's the differ
ence.
LAuxcn OF THE PILoT Boar JAMES AvEny.-On
Wednesday last beautiful new Pilot Boat called the
JAMES AVERY, was launched from the ship yard be-
longing to Brown e. Bell, near the Dry Dock At
eleven clock, all the pilots of this port, together
with their friends, were present the OCCASION and
a more hardy, honest-lookng set of fellows We ne
yer saw. We also observed among them the two
CAPTAINS of our famous news boats-Captan THuN-
DER, of the TEAzER, and Captain LIGHTNING, Of the
CELESTE In sail loft in the yard, tables were laid
out grooming with hams, beef crackers cheese por-
ter, wine, and every thing nice.
Ata little before o'clock, the carpenters knocked
away the tmbers from the beautiful boat and in few
minutes she gded into the water, dashing the white
waves before her. and filling the hearts of the little
proup with delight and ecstacy. She sat most beau
tifully on the water Soon after bringing her to The
wharf her crew came ashore and mounted the sail
left, where part of the company was in readiness to
receive them In rce they fell to, and did justice
10 the table before them Toasts and sentiments
then drunk and many libation was poured out to
the success OF the beautiful pilot boat the James
Avery.
Captain Thunder, Of the Teaser, was called upon
for a toast He started in a moment hitchng up the
wastband of his brecches, and wipng his lips from
horn of wine he had just taken OIL. The Captain is
stout, open faced hearty. plain-spoken fellow, care
less of wind and weather. and exhibiting all the traits
of hardy seaman.
"Comrudes," said he, 81 am not much used to this
here business of talking. do indeed pick up great
deal of news for the Herald-but some how
| never has time to read much Of it. Howsomever,
can cat, drink, and sail with any fellow that chews
tobacco. will now give you my toast and am sure
YOU will all drink il to the bottom. So here goes
"Uncle John and the bold pilots Of New York-A
match for the Wall street news boats, and Jersey
loafers into the bargain, any day." Tune-AH he'll
can't beat them.
This was drank with shouts on shouts.
aNow," said Capt Thunder, II call upon my
sociatc Capt Lightning Of tbs Celeste for speech"
"a speech--a speech-a speech"
Capt Lightning Fellow seamen il is now
nearly year SINCE under the clamor of the Wall
street newspapers, damn their buttons you have
been nerfered with by set of penny loaiers from
New Jersey, who pretend to be pilots, but who know
no more nor my tiler During this spell, you have
shewn the merchants, that you know your duty-and
that you can do it too. Yet am sorry to say that
the prejudice, uniusty excited against you by the
paltry politicians Of dirty Wall street, and be damned
TO it, continues to some extent to this day. This can
not last long It'll the interest Of the ship owners
and pilots OF New ork to act like brothers and good
feeling. The Jersey loafers have proved themselves
ignorant and incompetent in smooth summer wea-
Their, and how the devil will they get along when
winter approaches. Then their DEFICIENCIES will appear
more and more | have no doubt but all will yet
be rQh,-,hcrefore give you
"Harmsny Of feeling between the ship owners and
pilots OF New York-ther interests are allke-why
should they live longer in the sulks|
This was drank with great glee. The assemblaee
continued for several hours, and parted with coed
feelings and kindness.
