between two and three months. They had been
treated Hospitality BY our citizens; and now they
were about to leave these their new friends for on
experimental home-a home in the ia off est eight
days journey into the interior. They were about
to enter upon an occupation with which they were
not familiar-to subdue and bring under cultiva-
ton new and virgin soil. Why should they not
feel sad? Such feeling was manly and commenda-

Farewell 10 the Citizens Of Burlington.
| At last we are on the point of accomplishing our
purpose, formed in Comorn, the last fortress that
surrendered in the struggle for Hungarian ince-

boundaries OF civilization in Europe to nearly its
western line in America has been overcome, and

and to engage in the cultivation of the soil. Here
we can enjoy the freedom and independence for
which we fought and risked all in native land
/ here we hope to prepare the way for many 9TH

ourselves not unworthy citizens Of this glorious
and happy Union.
| In taking leave of Burlington for our newly Sc
lected home in the interior Of the State, the least
| we can do is to make public acknowledgement of
| the sympathy, kindness and generosity. shown us
by Its Inhabitants, during our stay among them

future, the interest manifest ted in behalf by a
community which received US not as strangers, but

We can only add, in bidding adieu to the citizens
