you represent, our sincere thanks for your con-
grxtuatsons to III, we are hspoy that It II in our
power TO convey the most cheering udings to
you. Being 0nfseiyes political exes, 0nr only
treasure iN thh far-oH land, is, the noble and
generous sympathy and friends zip OF lts people
we value u more than any other earthIy goods
aud nothing could have been plsasanter to IA
than Is the privilege OF using it on behalf OF
your brave compairots
We laid your letter before the President, and
the heads OF the executive branches Of the
government Of the United States, and ex-
Ilaned TO them the views of kossuth. in ad-
vising you IN settle in the colony OF New Blu
da. You will please say to your constituents,
that The Chief Executive of this country has not
power to appropriate the public funds TO pur.
poses not specified In the CONSTITUTE IN and laws
OF the land, and as your case is not embraced
within this range, he could take no measures TO
aid you from the national treasury but that
the President, and heads of departments Will,
other friends OF your sacred cause and OF Kos.
suth, apprfcatng your claims upon the Ameri-
can people, We're anxious that some substantial
evidence should be given OF the national hosp
tally. Fortunately this anxiety was relieved
by the seasonable action of munihcent citizen
OF Washington, Mr.. w w. CoRcoRAN, a gentle
man Of great wealth and no less lberality. The
subject having been brought to his notice, he
cteerfuiy offered to pay all expenses OF trans
porting TO the colony, you, and the one hundred
and twenty-eight exes, whose names are ON the
roll annexed to the letter addressed TO u.s.
1t was submitted TO this noble friend OF your
cause, that The passage and board could not ex-
ceed fifteen or seventeen dollars per head if an
arrangement could be made for the Transporter
of hu uh<ls txyt he "a
line and conveyances Mr.. Corcoran, therefore,
has determined to 60 to New York, on Tues
day next. There, he will make a contract with
the directors Of the line of railroads, and steam
boats, running between New York and Iowa;
and he suggested me to inform you, that if the
directors shall transport you for less than seven
teen dollars per head, he will hand to you the
residue thus saved, fer the purpose of purchasing
agricultural mplements--whch you should pro-
cure in New York
1t was submitted further t, your benefactor
and friend, Mr.. CoRcoRAN, that the residue saved
in this way will not probably be sufficient for
the purchase of all the agricultural implements
which you need; and that in the colony of New
Buda, consisting at present Of only about thirty
OF your countrymeD, you would not find among
them sufficient amount of provision to support
you during the fall and winter, until the new
crop. Mr.. CoRcoRAN at once fully appreciated
this difficulty, and kindly promised to lay it be-
fore his friends in New York, so as to raise
among them an additional fund for the purpose
of supplying your necessities in this respect.
You will please, while informing your COM
patriots of the liberaty of Mr. CoRcoRAN, state
to them, that the whole fund which he offered,
and which he may raise among his friends in
New York, will be appropriated solely and e.rclu-
s'rely for the purpose of paying the passage
board, implements and provision, for those oho

Communicating to you, and through you to all
those in whose name you addressed us, the re-
suit of your mission to this city, we express our
great qualification at your success, and wish to
you and to them prosperity and happiness 10 your
new homes
You have highly honored one of us (Mrs.
TocHMAN) in appealing to her on behalf of the
national character of the brave Magyar's The
past and present history of your noble minded
and heroic people, is too we'll known to the en-
lightened people of this great country to need a
testimony from an humble woman--yonr fellow
exile. You are correct in supposing that she
knew the character of your people before she
left her native land. Poland and came among
you in the days Of trial and danger. Her 80

Hrmed her high sstesn for tho Msgyars As to
the dsssptiers referred to In your letter, it has
always been the policy Of our common enomies
to foment them among the political exiles, so as
to deprecists them in the public consideration.
They certainly never originate among true and
pure patriots, nor among those eyiles who know
that they are, abroad living representatives of
the cause for which they fought. The cnlight-
ened people Of this country understand it too
well to suffer their sympathies to be alienated
against the deserving. Your success in the
present mission to this city, is substantial proof
of IT,
With great respect, gentlemen, we have the |
honor of remaining your, and Of all those on
whose behalf you addressed US,
Very obedient friends and fellow exiles,
