Moses II. GranReu and the Pilots-Coaae-
dore MartlA's Great Meeting.

=
We have the report Of Mr.. Hillen, of Maryland,
on the Pilot Law, which we shall publish to-mor-
row In the meantime Commodore Martin insists
upon it that " Mr. Grinnell is good man don't be-
lieve what they say of him-he is most excellent
good man." ard we are very much inclined to be-
lieve the Commodore, without any affidavit or oath
So convinced is the Commodore of this, that he in
tends to hold a great meeting this eveIing at
O'clock in front of Hollis Hotel Fulton street.
We have thought about the Pilots, and how they
likely to behave towards Mr.. Grnnell, at this
election-and we incline to think that the Pilots,
under the influence of party prejudces, will make
great mistake, and 60 against Mr.. Grinnell. Now
Pilots let have talk this matter, for there is
more about this business, and your business in Con.
gress, than you yourselves dream of.
You want the odious Pilot Law that John McKeon
got passed through Congress repealed. John Nc
Keen has received pair of Silver Pitchers for bu-
swing himself about this law, and you not so SOFT
hope, as to think he will do anything for you, if
elected, or omit to do anything in his power to OPP
pose your wishes. His consistency, his pride, and
his love of silver pitchers, bind Linn to stand by his
own law, and going to Congress from the city Of
New York if he gets there, tho Pilots are dishsd
Now, how will yoa,kecp McKeon out =!
You cannot keep HIM out against the strength Of
the Locofoco party, unless you take up and
all of you the same man, and send him in the place
Of Mr.. McKeon. You, and all your friends must
drop him, and clap Grinnell. The sure way to
do the business is for all Of you and your friends,
to 20 pIuxpers for Grinnell-that is, vote him and
nobody else.
Now, you Pilots don't need any argument to show
you that you must keep out McKeon, but now let us
see why you should put in Moses.
In the first place. he is the only man you heave
upon with any prospect of defeating McKeon In the
next place fyou have the good sense to take Grinnel
up as your friend, you must put his name upon your
flag and make him the Pilots candidate, and let it
be understood that he owed his election to the Pr
lots, then he will be your man. Moses is anxious to
be elected. He is connected with your interests-is
an honorable and influential msrchant-he has good
and generous heart and you all know that he is per-
sonally friendly you Elect him then, Pilots claim
him as your man, and he ,ciH be your man.
Now, pilot boys, we must remember one or two
thngs--First, that you never can get your bill
passed as party measure, and next winter you will
that Sol Hillen, Jr neither will, as par
ty measure, do any thing for you. Don't be deceived.
The South Carolina dele CATION, and some from North
Carolina who locos, will not 30 for you, and the
Jersey locos going against you too If you can get all
the rest of the ocos in the House, you cannot pass
your bill. Thcn, il you cannot succeed at the next
session. how will it be for two years to come, in the
next Congress- II is certain, that the Wings will
have very large majority in the next Congress Is
it wise then, Pilots, for you to make this party
question, aud throw your WEIGHT at this election
against the Wings, who will be in majority in the
next Congress, and no mistake!
We do not advise you to take up Moses because he
is Whig-to pot with all Wall street Whigs-but
because he is honest feels for your interests
and is a merchant and ship orner. You should not
array yourselves against the ship owners. Trust
them as your friends and they will be your friends
Be not deceived. Your true policy is to say at once
- Moses is our man''-calI your meetings Of Pilots
run his up to the head Of your mast, and 'cry
aloud and spare not" for Moses. You can put him
in. He will have power to serve you, for his party
will have forty fifty majority in tie next Congress.
But more than that, if you lay Moses II. Grinnell
under obligatisns to :he Pilots, he has influence
enough with the Merchants to do away their oppo-
sition to your wishes and he and will hit upon
some way to accomplish your object.
Go ahead then for Moses. Suppose the whole Lo-
cofcco Congress ticket from this city be elected,
and by your influence, what then Why, when the
next Congress meets, the Wings, who will be in
great majority, will say Here come the New
York Pilots again-thess are the men that put out
Moses II. Grinncll and made the repeal ofthe Pilot
Law party question Let them go to the Locofocos,
md get the repeal if they can"
Then, Pilots, boys and all, we have spun long
yarn" not Bella Badger yarn, for your benefit We
llyou the truth, and charge you $1,000 for tall in
love aud esteem. Don't make fools Of yourselves,
and become the dupes Of an intrigue Of MoKeon,
who has got Sol Hillen Jr Of Baltimore, to recon-
mend the Pilots to vote for McKecn. Now, take
your own way, but rememberthe Herald has warned
you of the rocks on which you are likely to split.
". b. Don't forget TO 20 to the great LONG
Shore meeting TO night opposite Holts. Commo-
dore Martin " no beat all the Wall street oafers yes
terday full one hour, in boarding the packets, in
tends to make a out-snd-outer speech, which will
he reported on Wednesday in the Herald .Nclu-
