agents. and others who know little OF the subject,
or the real facts of the case. The piteous appeals
Of these lazy and imbecie journals to the mer-
chants asking them TO Join them in their persecu-
ton against this body OF hard working and enter
prsing men, will be properly estimated in every
quarter of responsibility and independence. With
the exception of a few Of the immediate retainers
OF the Wall street prints, and those connected with
clique OF overbearng stockholders in the same
street, the whole community looks on with unaf-
fecled contempt, upon the efforts OF these journals
TO account for their not publishing the recent i'm
portant news, and only mingle their contempt occa-
sionally with sneers and laughter at their imbecile
and empty passion.
One Of the principal arguments of these lazy jour-
nails IS, that in consequence of their not finding or
searching for their packages or letters in the
Post Office, and other circumstances, the Govern
ment and the country were kept out of the important
intelligence which arrived by the ship Liberty one
day. The fact is otherwise; and but for the enter
prise OF the pOts-an enterprise undated for seve-
raj years past-thls intelligence would not have been
received IN New York until Monday morning, at
the soonest, instead Of on Sunday afternoon, as it
was. The country, the government, andthe commu-
nifty at large, indebted to the unwearled enter
prise of the New York pilots properly directed, in
various ways, for the speedy reception of the most
important intelligence which has been received for
years past at this port In combination with the
terprise which has urged these pilots to cruize
hundred miles at sea, we have frequently been at
vast expense IN running expresses from different
parts OF Long Island to this city, by which the whole
country, South and West have, in a variety of in
stances, received important intelligence, deeply af
fecting the interests of the country, one day earlier
than they would otherwise have received it, if left
to the undivided, uneq uaed and unparalleled imbe-
cility of the journalists in Wall street.
And further-this system of enterprise will be
continued with undated ardor, in spite of all the
weak and impotent threats from Wall street, backed
with all the influence Of that street Of cheatery,
roguery and impudence.
For nearly ten years past, clique of purse proud
underwriters, in conjunction with these journals
have endeavored to break down and destroy the
means of support OF the New York piots-a body
of men, in point Of enterprise and integrity, equal
any body of men in this country. The long explod-
ed and false stories of The Mexico and Bristol are
revived in order to prejudice the public against this
hardy and enterpnslng set of men, who have en-
countered more danger in protecting the property
of the merchants of New York, than all the OF
the community The impotent threats of these jour-
mails and the clique which backs them, will show
Congress the efficiency and independence Of the
New York pilots, when their case Is brought before
that body
This much on the pilots. They are able to take
care Of themselves. They have withstood the OPP
position of Wall street for long years, and are
able to continue to Withstand that opposition,
backed with that lmpudent clique, for ten more
Thus also it is with the Herald. We are not ye
Waterford. We have, hardly yet passed the Alps
but we expect soon to meet the Wall street jour
nalists at the terrible bridge OF Lodi. Ten years
ago, when we started piece OF newspaper enter
prise in the new and energetic spirit which cha
racterises the glorious land live in, we made an
affidavit, price one shilling, that we never would
give up, never say "dle," until there was a COM
pee revolution in the science and practice Of jour
nalism in this city and country, even if we had to
exterminate for ever the Wall street press, and
walk over their bare bones to glory We have
created around us in the neighborhood where we
are located, new race Of newspapers, which have
long since passed Themopyle, and which will
soon be able TO say TO the Wall street journals,
Fun Mum. Let them remember that as vet, bur
one half of our enterprise is developed Let them
remember this and tremble.
PosT MASTER MORRIS ON THE New YORK PILoTs-
The circular letter of this distinguished functonary,
upon the New York pilots growing out OF the arri-
val of the ship Liberty at this port is the most curl
Gus document that ever emanated from the Post
office of this city
We have made, within the last two days, enqui-
ries in relation the facts in this matter, and shall
be enabled to prepare statement, if necessary,
showing that the Post Master Of New York, is COM
paratvely ignorant of the duties of his office, and
hardly understands how the details of it's business
are transacted. We wish to draw the attention Of
the President and the Post Master General to this
functonary, and in particular to his letter addressed
to one OF the Wall street journals denouncng the
pilots OF this port for the late transaction in bringing
the news to this city one day ahead of all others
We think we shall be able to show that Mr. Morris
Is completely Ignorant of his own business; and in
fact, Is In some measure incompetent to perform it's
duties. We shall lay aside all his sudden hostility
to the pilots and to the pains he takes to conciate
he Wall street journalists, (who used to call him
aper-snatcher,'o without assigning any other mo-
Il es further than cupable excess Of amiable weak
n IS, or surplus deposit OF intellectual mbecility
T. the New York pilots, he is in some measure in
de oted for the office he holds and his ngratitude to
that honest race OF men is rendered douby bitter by
the feeble effort he makes to get upa case against
them at the expense Of truth and knowledge
Pape r-snatcher," indeed.

debed TO Messrs. Livingston and Wells for the
