STATEMENT OF THE ExPEDITIoNIsTS.
San FRANCISCO, October z, 1865.
We desire to express through the medium of the |
Has columns cur feelings In regard to the injustice,
OF which have been the victims in the late abortive
to passage Nicaragua by the steam
er Uncle SAM We came to this city upon the faith OF
made TO that every arrangement had been
mace convey Nicaragua in the steamer OF the 5h
that tickets had been purchased and every preparation
made ensure safe pas sage thithsr
We informed by printed circular that the govern
men OF Nicaragua would the passage and equip every
emgrsnt might join Colonization Society of Cen
bal America; and alter arriving here, told BY
tho sc who proessed to speak advsed that all ready
for departure and that itch cts would be given at
the steamer the Of sailing few tickets
dist ibuted. but than two hundred Of u.s. who had
come from the mountain and distant counties expend
ing nil our means to get here, not furnished with
tickets nor Permitted to go on board the steamer, al
though, up to the moment OF her sailing repeat
edy assured mat tickets Tor our passages were in the
good faith of Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Astin, we have
cry confidence knowing, DO that they acted under
the instructions of Others upon whose promises they
lied, and like they deceived. We also desire to
express appreciation of the conduct OF Mr.. CAL o.
Mill who, although presented with passage ticket
fused TO 60 on board the unless his friends
could also be received in accordance with the pighted
word If certain parties precious to arrival here If
Capt French had authority to make the promises by
which induced to come TO this cty-if he did
not make the arrangements with the Nicaragua Transit
Company which assured mad been made for our
conveyance to San JUAN upon him must rest the blame
Of failure; and charge that it is most censurabe to
induce men to leave their homes upon the strength
Of promises which he had not the means ability
10 perform II, the other hand he himself
been deceived by other parties he should not leave
In the dark upon the subject but clear his skirts
by explaining to the Of the failure of our
enterprise. Until he does this, upon him must lay
the weight of censure which is deserveily belonging
10 whoever the guilty parties may be- Though disap-
pointed hearts still with the patriots OF Central
America, and hepes and sympathies, strong and
unciminished for the ultimate of the gallant
Walker and his brave little band.
