Nh EpIroR topic absorbing all
Others a, present is the Poole TRAGEDY.
The excitemen,s continues TO increase as
the probability Of BAkfs's capture grows
more and more evident. So many re.
port. have been put in circulation, and
the minds Of the people wrought into
phrensy. that it is difficult 10 decide on
the true merits Of the case. Tha, the
murder Of Poole was premedi,ated' ad.
mils of no shade Of doubt. That he
fell because he was an American, and
consequently hated BY the Irish Papisss,
is another established fact. That he
scarcely acted on the de iensive against
the insults Of the rowdy crew who at.
tackled him, is an effective appeal, and
has been acknowledged. as an honorable
trait. !, is well known that the murder
ed man was ever ready to express his
American sentiments, and that on &C.
coun, OF this, he was hated by the
/ Creeks" who have done their best TO
pu, him down. Now Poole WAS a pugil.

of hired as.as.in.. is fact we canno,
conceal. and it is this which has caus-
ed thousands to express their sympathy
who otherwise would have held their
peace. As rough snd tumble fighter
Poole wa. famous. But he fell victim
to the hatred OF set Of despicaLle for.
eigners, and his blood cries for revenge.
