of his course in the difficult and momentous affairs
with which he has been so creditably and distin-
guisbingly associated in Kansas. He was escorted
by an immense concourse of citizens, with music,
to Connor's Hotel, where he was received. in a
short and eloquent address, by George w. Yates,
ESQ, after which the Governor delivered a mas
terly and powerfully impressive speech, which was
listened TO with profound attention, and evidently
fell with convincing effect upon hs audience.
He gave rapid but luminous and candid his

up the unfairness and hypocrisy Of the admins.
tration on the one side, and the high-handed and
Iawless proceedings Of the invaders on the other,
with clearness Of narrative and a graphic de-
scliption which carried conviction to the minds Of
all.
He explained satisfactorily all seeming inconsis-
tencies IN his course and ayowed his fixed deter
minaton to stand by, at all hazards and through
all consequences the noble platform Of principles
adopted by the Free State party Of Kansas
Throughout the whole Of his speech there was not
one violent or abusive epithet against those At
whose hands he had received such measureless
abuse. He closed amid deep and earnest re.
spouse of cordial agreement on the part Of hif
hearers.

him and his administration, but simply for
the reason that the sentiment is none the less
