ioRK PlLoTs-One OF the most wicked, iRnpudent
unJusthable attacks upon the New ork Pilots ,ha,
we have YET seen from the Courier and ENQUIRER nm.
peared IN that rotten concern yesterday morning.
because these INDUSTRIOUS useful and excellent men
have presented petition to Congress- for the prnos.
OF protecting Their own rights, while preserving the
interests OF commerce, the wicked and unprincir,led
conductors OF the Courier have the aGdacy TO accuse
them of "nuraer" "inhumanity," "impudence
and all the crimes tina, be perperatsd against So
ciety.
This dasiardly attack from its very ferocity, must
overask its mark. Why all this oppossn TO the po,s3
Whyall this ferocly2 Whys this bitterness No
pretends that these excellent men are deficient in
their duty. Indeed their calumnator admits, that i.
every point Of view, the New York pilots have acted
up TO the highest principles of duty towards the COM
mcrcial interests. What then is the cause of this
new eballiiion Of wrath and rage7
There are reasons for every thing, and there are
reasons for this TOO.
The Courier parades to the world the fact that two
new pilot boats building for the Jersey pilots, and
we have been given 10 understand that in conse-
quence Of the losses in Morris Canal" satpe,re,
and various other articles Of speculation, which
certain gentleman, who occasionally "curses,n ba,
sustained he has made up his mind 10 try his luck
in the plotting business. He is in fact, a partner
with the Jersey pllets, and whether they catch shps
schooners, or shad il is said he will hereafter be
sharer Of the profits.
THERE'S very good reason to believe this exposition.
When did the editor of the Courier ever espouse any

dertake the support o. the U. s. Bank until the
brooches pocket gave oats52 00o He did tespouse
the Texan cause, till he became an owner of Tex.
ian SCRIP He did not say a word in favor of Daniel
Webster, till his friend advanced loan of SIS OO0
part of which IL to pay for his press from Lon
don, the rest to embark in the plotting business.
We trust and hope that Congress will act well and
wisely on this question. A repeal Of the late law is
demanded by every consideration sacred and useful
among men
WHEREs MARIA Monk This inquiry is put 10 ms
from several quarters. We reply-"I can't tell
suppose che is hatching-this is the spring season.
But whatever may have become Of Maria, he. friends
are alive and kicking At first the sale of her book
was the way TO raise money. Every thing in this
world has an end-so had the sale OF Maria's books
What then was to be done raise money! Some
thing very ingenious The Ant-Popcry COMMITTEES
hrst brought suit for Islander against my friend
Col Webb for S2,OO0-he charging the Rev. Mr.. Slo-

him to AVOID Mr. Slocum. The Committee, howev-

$500 and we will let you off," This the gentleman
refuses to do.
