gsrian leader. Kossuth advised him, and through
him his band Of exiles to proceed to this coun-
try, should the propositions or forming colony
near Smyrna be rejected by The Porte---and he
further advised Capt Erck to seek aid and pro-
lection In this country, through your medium.
He expected that tbs unfot unate sundesstand-
ing which was fomeDtsd by some unseen agency
between the true Magyars and some foreigners
who served in the Hungarian army, and came
here with the former a. Hungarian exils, could
but cool the friendly and hospitabIe dispositions
and sympathy OF the people of this republic
and he said, that under the crc umstances of the
present position I the Hungarian exiIos in this
country, Mile Jagcllo aud Major Tochman
may be Of some service in promoting our OBJ
jects. The pnn Of forming colony near
Smyrna having actually been rejected. because OF
the political objections Of the Austrian and Rus
sian ministers accredited to the Sublime Porte,
we have come to this country. Our I'M
changeable design and determination is to join
our patriot and countrvman, Governor Ujhazi,
and settle in New Buda, colony, which he
formed in Decatur county, Iowa, where our
leader Kossuth will. as he said, JOIN us, If he be
allowed to come here.
Just when we landed in New York, we learned
of your marriage union. Hearing that you were
somewhere at the Springs. we postponed ad-
dressing ourselves to you. -
We do it now confornably to the advice Of our
leader Kossuth We bring no letters from him
to you, nor to any other friend Of Hnngary--for
none of us could SEE him after the 23d Of Octo-
Der, 1850, which is the date heretofore alluded TO-,
and the herewith annexed letter Of general intro
duction given to Capt. brick. We resp ,ctfuly
beg you to ad Use with the friends Of humanity
and the Hungarian exilcs,about raising fund for
the purpose of transporting our band of exiles
from New York to New Buda, which is the
name tf the colony formed by Gov. Ujhazi, in
Decatur county, Iowa. ~
Ii the unfortunate Misunderstanding between
the Hungarian exiles, who first came TO this
country, has in any way prejudiced the public of
this great country against US, we appeal to you
Madame. You are not Hungarian lady by
birth, but, probably, you knew we'll the national
character of the Hungarian people, before you
left Poland and came to Hungary to aid her
cause. Say, then, Madame. whether you have
any reason to complain against the true Hun
garians. They respected you when you were
amongst them, ut Comorn and elsewhere. Some
of us have seen you there; and we respect you
now, with grateful remembrance of your services
to the Hungarian cause.
We remain, with great respect Sir and
