The President'S eeh,ms Of sending colored
colony 10 Chiriqui, iu which hs had enlisted
the co. operation OF Senator Pomeroy, appears
to be abandoned inasmuch rs Secretary Sew
ard has addressed letter 10 III, Secretary Of
the Interior, stating that the apprehensions oi
the people Of the Central American States, 10
regard to the proposed colonization expedition,
have been wrought up 10 panic by the efforts
of certain illdisposed persons, who have mis-.
represented lis objects, and that II will be ad-
visable, therefore, to suspend or modify the
plans 10 regard 10 is movements.
Thirteen thousand persons, we are told, had
sig niGed their wish to accompany Senate,
Pomeroy to Llnconis, which fact proves either
au extensive desire among the colored race to
emigrate, or their general confidence in Mr..
Pomeroy. It Is, probably, evidence Of both
things.
Several colored persons have already arrived
here, expecting.to 60 out to Linconia on the
goth instant, and hundreds more, II is said
have broken up their homes and busiaees, With
a view to going To these persons, the .us
pension Of the expedition will be q serious
affair. No blame, however, can possibly attach
to Senator Pcmsroy. He has not yet returned
here from Kansas, but 10 hourly expected.
or q. circular recently issued BY the State
Department, upon this general subject, We sp
