The remainder of his speech was a narration of Kansas affairs. At the close of his remarks, the audience, by resolution, indorsed and approved of his course in Kansas, for which he heartily thanked them. In the beginning of April he was in Ashtabula County, sick of the ague. On the 16th, he was at Westport, Essex County, New York--near home.
