kossuih on Cubd.--Kossuth has written f.,
letter on Cuba, in which. alludinp 10 tho
possibility of our government attempting to
take forcible possession of the island, he
says:
"Such war with Spain would be, at the
same time, war with free Cuba, with Eng
land, with France, and some accessories
more, such as llayti, Domingo, Mexico, &c.
Ana besides, when | think how, carried ton
far in your indignation against the abuses
connected with immigration, you are design
eddy alternating your new coming population
II say new corners, and not foreigners, nv
purpose, because all of You are foreigners:
none except the red-man is American
with all the rest it is but question of how
many years, with your almost forcinp your
new come population to secret sectional or
ganizaton- with your disarming your adopt-
ed brethren-wlth your commerce exposed
on all the seas--wth your internal conten-
tions-and last not least, with your millions
OF slaves, feel perfectly sure America will
not challenge such a war. It would be at
tended by civil war, ard | would not stake
much on the indissolubility Of the Union"
~ Die an 9meriodn."-This exclamation,
attributed to Poole, the pueilist, shortly be-
lore ms death. was siezed ON by the Know
Nothings, emblazoned upon a banner at his
funeral, and was near leading to a riot on St
Patrlck's day. TWAS taken for granted that
Poole had been murdered by "boody fur
riners," aud that his blood was to be avenged
as Texas was TO be annexed, " at the earliest
practicable period"
1t now turns out that all the parties i'm
plicated in the murder of Poole: Baker,
IIyler, Linn. Pan Pclt, Poudcen, Mcl.augh-
len, Irwin and Morrss ey-- are native born
citizens Of the United States.
There is not foreigner among them 49,
What is to be done now As they nre all
Americans, we presume they are entitled to
a procession for the heroism they displayed
IN numbering Poole without any foreign aid.
