VINO WRITES THE ExPREss?-The Erpress
is in high feather at the notion that one Of its
articles has got into the HERALD. 1t parades
the fact ostentatiously before the public, and OBJ
viously expects an increase OF circulation to fol-
low so startling proof Of Improvement in it,
editorial columns Sustained as the Express
is, by wholesale piracy from other papers,
never buying anything it can steal or beg and
regularly dependent on the HERALD for the bulk
Of its news--as was seen on the occasion of the
San Francisco disaster and the Mexican treaty
we can quite understand the joy with which
it fancied we were about to retaiate in
kind and give to the Express articles some sort
ofpublicity. Such, however, is not the case
The author ofthe article which the Express ac-
cuses us Of stealing from its columns is not the
editor ofthe Express, nor any Of his aids. but
Mr.. Edward Cunard better known in this city
as the agent of a line Of ocean steamships than
as writer for the press On Monday last Mr.
Cunard, whose employers have been sufferers
by the present revenue laws, penned state
ment Of their defects, and handed it simulta-
neously to the Express and HERALD. The for
mer, Of course jumped at the offer of an article
which was to cost nothing; and suffering as
usual, under a superabundance Of room and a
scarcity of matter. published Mr.. Cunard's
statement in full the very next morn
ing as the leading article in the pa.
per. 1t so happened that the HERALD
had at the time news from Europe, additional
details Of the San Francisco disaster, accounts
Of the Erie riots and Of the Bedini disturbances,
&C., to publish, and Mr.. Cunards statement
laid over till Thursday. 1t found its way into
our paper of that day strangely enough, as
loaded matter, instead of q communication, as
was intended, and hence the coincidence over
which the Express glorifes so exultingly.
We shall guard against recurrence Of such
