The public the qui pire for the news by
the steamer. All important business affairs seem
TO be at an end, awaiting her arrival The steamer
is in her seventeenth day, and her news may be
hourly expected.

David recollect that the news arrived on the Sab
bath ! That II arrived, probably, at the very time
when he was in church, for the use OF which he
probably was to get some twenty or twenty-five dol
larsa Could he expect that the pilots would wake
him from his pious meditations, with the news
from Europei No; the pilots had too much reve-
renee for his holy character TO do that Indeed, we
did not issue our Extra until after church hours,
merely out of consideration for our pious contem-
porary What would have been the effect on the
rvesof pious David, it, in the midst of his prayers
he had been reused by the lcry OF " Extra Herald
resignation OF the Peel ministry"'
Now the cause of all the abuse heaped upon the
Herald and the pilots has been the superior enterprise
of both. The pilots of New York are an enterpris-
ing race of men, and the Herald is an enterprislng
journal, the Wall street press have reason to know
and proof Of this we refer to several extracts on
the outside ofthis day'spaper. There u.s. consequent
y, bond Of sympathy between them, very disagree.
able we must say to the lazy press of street, and
the effect OF this sympathy is that the public, whene
yer news Is expected Of any consequence, invariably
look to the Herald to receive It first In this they
are not disappointed All foreign news is despatch
ed by Us full twenty -four hours ahead Of all other
papers The consequence is that the public appre-
ciate our efforts please them, and have gwen US
their patronage most literally; and our circulation
has reached point even beyond our most sanguine
anticipations 1t will therefore be seen, by dis
eliminating public, how much weight ought to be
attached to the charges of the Wall street journals.
We have beaten them hundreds and hundreds of
times, and we mean to increase the number of heats
as rapidly as we can. The New York pilots board
more. vessels and at greater distance at sea, than
any other class of pilots; and they mean to
their infamy in this way, as we do in ours And the
probability Is, that neither the Herald the pilots
will cease to be abused till they cease to exist-and
when will that be

Probable Revolution In state Politics.

There is a sweeping and radical revolution gene
rating in the politics OF this State. The movements,
the Debates the feelings of the Legislators at Albany,
indicate coming storm-an entire change in pc
ltcal parties.
BY strange freak OF the elements, there will be
great but accidental combination OF all the discor
dant elements against the present party in power
and next tall the democratic party will be as COM
pletey defeated as they were in 1887. This combi-
nation will be composed of the wings, natives, abo-
htonsts, and all other ciiques representing new
ideas The debates and motions In the present
Legislature, only preparatory to the great out
break that will take place in the State Convention,
which will be elected next April, meet in June and
complete their revolution before fall The anti
renters and the abotionsts, the first numbering
10000 votes the latter about 15OO0 hold the balnce
OF power this State, and will drive both the old
parties, wing and democrat, into their ideas to
great extent So, prepare for revolution in the po-
liucs OF New York.
