I tremble for Kansas, which seems to me a doomed Territory. How disgusting seems the conduct of those miserable men who thus trifle with the welfare of this region! My blood boils at this outrage, and I long to denounce it again from my place. To C. F. Adams, June 2, from Paris:— I have often thought of what the good Dr. Bigelow said when he postponed my complete recovery till next December; and I have had gloomy hours thinking that perhaps it would not come then.
