Revival If tho Hartford Conpeniioa.
DuFFALo, July l0-The State convention unity
and efficiency Of action in behalf of Kansas yester
day. Gov. Reeder appointed to the chair and
mitee appointed to prepare series of resolutions
On opening the convention to-day, Gov. Reeder made
long speech the wrongs and asserted her right
to admission into the Union under the Topeka constitution
At the close of his remarks he spoke Of Gerr Smiths
mendng the sending of armed force into resist
armed force already there. He believed the time
sistance had arrived lie had already given all the money
he could spare for books provisions and agricultural mple
ments for Kansas and he felt that he called upon
to contribute and send them out to fight.
Mr. Smith continued in the strain for a considerable
length of tme and replied to by Gov Reeder. The lat
favor of waiting awhile longer, not because
Kansas had received wrongs enough but because he
thought it better to wait until effective blow could
be struck. If it had fallen to him to the power
of the government, he would not have waited but the
oppressors of Kansas would long this have been
verted into heaps Of dead the fields of Nilsson
ri. He was willing to wait until they had the power
he would thus have used; but he did not wish give
the South notice of their intention by marching armed
men into the Territory. He wanted to have the first notice
of the blow in the blow itself The reeSate party take the
ing done they will resist DEATH and pile the soil with the
dead bodies OF their oppressors.
Mr. Smith suggested that If this chain of reasoning be
rect convention should ait with closed doors, the
South could not but know that something be done
when resolution passed for raising $780, 900 per month
The convention then adjourned till the afternoon.

Latest and highly Important from Kansas.

Latest and highly Important from Kansas.
81. Louis, May l2.-The steamer Star Of the
West, from Kansas on Saturday, arrived here
to-day with highly important news from that
Territory. Governor Robinson and family took
passage on the Star of the West at Lexington,
while on his way hither. Governor Robinson
was waited upon by Committee appointed by
the citizens, and notified that they should de-
tain him, on the ground that he was fleeing
from the Territory to avoid an arrest on an in
dictment for treason, which had been found
against him by the grand jury of the United
States district court.
Robinson replied that he had been informed
by one of that jury that an attempt had been
made to find a bill, but it had failed. This did
not satisfy the Committees and they insisted
that Robinson should remain. He finally con-
scented to do so, on the persuasion of Mr.. Park
Inson, captain of the boat, and Mr.. Barnard, of
Baltimore.
The Committee agreed to send a messenger
to Kansas, to ascertain if an indictment had
been found, and if not, all expenses for deten-
ton were to be paid The Committee consisted
of Gen Shields, Mr.. Sawyer, and number of
the most respectable citizens.
1t Is reported here that a dispatch from
Leavenworth has been received, stating that
an armed body of men were en- route for Law
renee, TOR the purpose Of destroying the evil
dence taken before the Congressional Commit
tee.
While Gov. Reeder was in attendance at a
session of the Committee at Lecompton, on the
evening OF the Sth, the Deputy Marshal served
on him writ to appear before the grand Jury
at that place, to answer the charge of contempt,
for having refused to comply with summons
from the grand jury, previously served upon
him.
Reeder refused to obey the writ, and appealed
to the Committee; but they decided that they
had no power in the case.
Messrs. Howard and Sherman, however, ex-
pressed their opinion that Reeder was protected
from arrest by privilege; but Mr.. Oliver dis
scented, and said that the Committee could not
stand between him and the Marshal
Reeder said, that, although his life was in
danger in Lecompton, he would remain, on his
privilege, In attendance at the sittings of the
Committee, and warned the Marshal and his
assistant to touch him at their peril. The Mar
shall left but was expected to return on the 9th,
with the United States dragons.
Judge Lecompte charged the grand Jury on
Monday, the 9Th, TO indict all the State officers
and members of the Legislature for high trea-
son; but up to the 9th no such indictments had
been found by the Court so far as their proceed
lngs had been made public.

FoUB DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The Collins mail steamer Atlantic hts arrived
at New York, bringing four days Ia er Euro
pean news. She left Liverpool on the Both
April.
The principal feature of the news il the pub
LEGATION of the official treaty of peace together
with three appended conventions; the first
having reference to the passage of tho Dardan,
Giles, the second arranging the deta lis Of the
naval force in the Black Sea, and the third de-
claring that the Aland Islands shall rlmain I'M
fortified. Also, an important declaration OF
maritime law, viz: the abolishing privs teering-
that neutral flag "a to protect the largo, ex-
cept when contraband, and neutral go ids under
an enemy's flag are to be exempt frori capture.
The treaty is the same as received By the
last steamer. The missing articles are to the
following effect;
Art. grants full and entire amnesty to
ttscse Of their subjects who may have been COM
promised by any participation whatever in the
events of the war in favor of the enemy; and
it is expressly understood that this amnesty
shall extend to the subjects ef each belligerent
Power who may have continued during the war
to be employed in the service of the other belli-
gerents.
Art. declares that the prisoners CT war shall
be Immediately given up on either SIDE.
Art. declares that the Sublime Porte shall
be admitted to participate in the ad, antages of
the public law and system of Euro )e. Their
Majesies engage, each on his part, TO respect
the independence and integrity Of the Ottoman
Empire, and guaranty in common /. strict OBJ
servance of that engagement, and WILL in con-
sequence, consider any act tending o its viola
ton as question of general interess.
Art. provides that if there should arise be-
tween the Sublime Porte and one or more of
the other signing Powers any misunderstand-
ing which might endanger the maintenance of
their relations, the Sublime Porte and each of
such Powers, before having recourse to force,
shall afford the other contracting parties an
opportunity of preventing such extremity by
means of their mediation.
The following additional article has been
rendered imperative by the necessity Of trans
porting troops from the seat of waN:
"Tbe stipulations of the convention respect
