The immortal subject of this memoir, who /
was killed in drinking shop in New York, .
in defense OF American principles, has cast
into the shade CESAR, NAPoLeoN, WAsmNG- I.
ToS. the Duke Of WELINGTON and Others
too numerous 10 mention.
This great aud illustrious man it seems was
born in New jersey. The book now before us
SAYS: "IPi7lia,a Poole tcus bora ia the year
1923, IN the county Of SUSSEX, and State Of Nelo
,Ieysey-a State re,lo,ened for its patriotism,
and ,oorthy to hare giren birth to one tghose
Toast IL ,cas tohaus died the american"
This great man was bred butcher, because
his father vas one before him. 'iIe occasion
ally contributed prose articles to political pa
per, published i'm Dutchess county, some four
years ago-but he was more fond of writing
verses; we would suggest that the talented au-
thor of ALToN, LocHE should write new
work entitled: William POOle-Butcber, Poet,
Grocery Keeper, and occasionally an fo,' a roac''
ALTON LOCHE, the poet and tailor, wOnd
sink into obscurity. WILLIAM having be-
come disguised with killing cattle, dctermin-
ed to open groggery, and accordingly opened
a Public House, known as the Bank Exchange,
corner OF Broadway and Howard street,
where he drew many customers by his per-
sonal popularity, (which also gave him n
great influence among politicians; which infu-
encc he managed to use as skillfully, prOhta-
bly, and honorably in proportion to his abili-
ties and position as many high and mighty
"God like" patriot whose itching palms gave
them, when living, more trouble than their
country's domestic wrongs." WILLIAM was
a Wing before the Know Nothing movement
started, but having sovereign contempt for
the rascally Irish and beggarly Dutch---as he
SAYS in one of his poems,
No foreign hands allow TO hold
The Helm OF State 9fsees Of gold, &c SC,
and thinking it decidedly wrong for, and one
not to the manor born, to have a hand in the
treasury-he went over body and soul to the
virtuous order of United Americans
WILLIAM occasionally INDUCED in wee
bit Of row-but he did not wish t. be con-
sidered Prize fighter, he fought for the love
of the thing. He was in Charleston short
time before his death, and while there enga-
ged in bar room fracas, in which he pulled
out his listcl-for the mere love OF a row
not less than three times, to no purpose.
Mr. POoTE, as every one knows, was given
to conviviality," mere harmless conviviality,
in pursuit of which, on Saturday night the
Oath OF February, "a night which will live
long in the memory of Americans''-the fes-
tival of Saint WILLIAM, among the virtuous
order of the K Ms, he and party Of friends
sauntered up to Stanwix Hail. TO take some
thing to drink-while there, MoRRIssEY came
in, and, after some time, some words having
passed, MoRRIssEY made some chaste and
elegant remarks, and Poole replied in the
same strain. The parties then being separat-
ed, went oil, but again met in the same place.
r and after a row of some time, POOLE died
like true American, only regretting that he
had been murdered by set of Irish. Such
is The sum total of the life, adventures, ex-
PLOTS and death of the great head of the vir-
tuous order of United Americans, published
we suppose by order of the Grand National
Wigwam, to show how true American
should live and die. 1t states, also, thai
: WILLIAM wore a large black moustache, bu
does not give general order that all true
Americans should wear one-probably from
I the inability of some of the members to com
e ply with the order.
: Verify, we live in strange times. WASH
NGTON is 10 more "frst in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his countrymen. -
: BILL POOIE has taken his place. WASHING
e T0N was very great man; but oh, how h
, sinks into insignifcauce when placed by tin
side of the patron saint Of the Know Moth
I ings. WASHINGTON had a foreigner for on,
G Of his bosom friends, but POOLE acorned sucl
:, a thing. WAsHISGroN died in his bed lik
any other common man, but POOLE died glori
ously in a drunken row; died rs a ''hu
q American should, murdered by set o
d Irish" WASHINGTON never kept groggery
l never did any "bruising;'' never had such
: friend as Ton HYER, and men of that ilk; neve
got into drunken rows and never died like
o "irue American - therefore, POOLE il ex
allied, while WAsnISGToN is cast into IN
shade
q 1t il strange to see ministers of the gOspe
men who should publish the good tidihgs o
!. peace and good will towards men, descent
u from their position and preach funeral ora
;. tons, in which they call upon "true Amer
J. cans" to avenge their dead brother, aud in
g cite and inaame the worst passions of tn
: multitude--over the body of this martyrel
\ saint. But such is the tendency of the viz
tuous order; il plots treason at midnight, an
i murder at noon-day, and these same minis

Y Is it possible that sensible Americans ca
stand such state of affairs-that they wi
. suffer themselves to be hood winked, an
n drawn into such aerowd--where BILL Pool
e is held up as great and shining light? D
It they wish POOLE held up as an example &c
e their children to copy ? Do they wish b
i have the DRY Of dying such a death
. So then indeed have we lost all our sense Q
