The Journey 40 New BudaI
Our readers will remember that, a few weeks
ago, l2S Hungarians, through the medium OF
their delegates, addressed themselves to Major
and Mrs, Tochman, (being specially directed by
Kossuth to do so,) to advise with them about
the means of reaching New Buda, a colony
which was founded last year by Gov. ujhazy,
in Decatur county, Iowa. Their application
was laid by Major and Mrs. Tochman before
the President and some members of the Cabi-
net, who, especially Hon. Thomas COrwin,)
brought it to the notice of w. w. Corcoran,
esq. This lastnamed gentleman then offered
and deposited 81, 700 in the hands of the Mayor
of New York, for the purpose Of paying the
passage of those Hungarians from New York to
New Buda with an express direction that,
should free passage be obtained from the
directors of railroads and steamboats,, the
money so deposited by Mr.. Corcoran was
to DO employed for the purpose Of purchasing
agricultural implements and provisions for
the coming winter, for such Hungarians
as would go to settle in New Buda. Last
week Major Tochman--provided with letters
from the Hon. Thomas Corwin and Mr.. Cor
.coran-went to New York and succeeded in
obtaining free passage for 81 of these Hun
garians from New York to Detroit, and gave
them letters of introduction from himself and d.
Loder, President of the Erie Railroad Company.
to some distinguished persons OH the line of
road leadingto Iowa. They departed from New
York on the 9Th instantat six o'clock, p. m.
Wenow have the pleasure Of laying before our
readers letter which Major Tochman received
this morning from Captain Joseph Brick, who
is q leader Of that company of brave men, written
from their first stopping place.
Translated from the French
DUNKIRK, October Z, 1851.
To Major ToCHMAN:
SIR: have the honor of informing you that
we all reached Dunkirk yesterday evening. To-
day. early in the morning, we visited the Mayor
of the town, Mr.. Brown. He received us very
well, and, upon learning the purport Of our
journey West formed Immediately o Protective
Committee, Of which the following gentlemen
are members Mr. Brown, NIr. Risley, director
of the Railroad to Buffalo, DR.. X. q. Haughey,
proprietor Of the house s'Loder." These gem
erous gentlemen lodged us in,the best hotel in
the town, and furnished to us all that was ne
cessary to make our sojourn here as comfortable
as could be done they also promised us to
make collections in order to increase our fund
for the purchase Of agricultural implements and
provisions. We do not know at this moment
what will be the result of their undertaking in
this regard; but whatever it may be, we feel
under great obligation for the generous and hos
pitable reception which has been extended to US
in this town 1t surpasses our expectations
and proves that we are here amongst true
friends, who know how to feel and sympathize
with the victims of tyranny. We sought long
such friendly reception. 1t is treasure of HUI
mainly, the only effective consolation which
assures us that we are amongst true protectors
of the unfortunate and prosecuted. We will
leave the hearth Of these generous citizens of
liberty with tears in our eyes.
We depart from this place tomorrow, at III
o'clock, a. m, for Detroit, and carry with us u
better hope to find in our farther journey true
friends. We feel already our sufferings greatly
allayed; we feel as if we were rewarded for our
sacrifices and sufferings by the generous treat
ment which has been extended to US.
Please, sir, to accept the assurance of our
high respect, and of our gratitude; and be 80
good as to assure Of them, on our behalf,
Madame Tochman, your lady. land all my
companions of misfortune will not cease TO re-
member them until our last days.
Your very devoted friend and servant,
JOSEPH BRICK.
