LAWRENCE, Kansas, May q, 1861.
As the telegraph will have informed you, tie Hon.
NJ F.. Convey was renomina,ed for Congress by the
State Republican Convention. He will surely be
elected As Mr.. Conway had 81 out Of 50 woes, and
Mr. Parrot, his chief competitor coud secure but Is,
the latter after caucus did not permit his naGe to 60
before the Convention and few candidates Of moderate
calber, secured the odd votes among them. Kansas
could not send more determined champion OF the
Government or faithful advocate OF Republican prin-
eli les than Conway. His colleagues ~ the House can
SAFELY trust lin with the most rerpJnslbe tasks.

But little apprehension is entertained oil Border

A few days ago Government train Of fifteen OF the
enormous six-y oke plain wagons was stopped by the
State Marshal, Mr.. Mcdowell, at Topeka, and taken,
for the time being, under the cognlzce OF that iuuc-
tiorary and the Governor. Some little icment pre-
vailed on tie that they had four hundred niles
on board The facts are about these: The tam wsh
on is way TO Deer Creek, beyond the South Forks OF
tie Platte with presents for the ludians az per treaty
made last year. Among these presents were four
hundred firearms. Tire prorieiy OF putnng tnese
arms in tire bands Of the wild Indians al thls time,
when they rambe about in their wild way over many
degrees OF laud aud longitude and with no Kind Of
supefyision over them does not strike some OF our
people very iorcibly IL looks still worse when we
reflect that nearly all the military posts are abandoned
The object Of the authorities ia stopping tie tram was

One thing struck rat er strange. They were
reported to have come va K0nsas Ciiy, and how the
reeaters had permitted them to carry arms INTO Kan.

great deal of DISQUALIFICATION exists becanae the
Governor refuses 10 AXE the greater part OF the force

man is like the first heavy dfoppngs before the gIeut

day sympathy for his tate swels the heart Of millions
There are muterngs Of vengeance, too. Alns, there
are other things TO think Of besides vengeance and

vengeance but for night.
