Political Matters.

The Iowa Republican state convention elect
ed thirty three delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. The state is entitled to eight and, of
course, the delegation will cast but eight votes
in the convention. An intelligent Iowa Re-
publican, writing to the St. Louis Anzeiger,
gives the individual preferences of these thirty
three delegates as follows for Fremont II,
Chase 9, Seward 8, Bates 8, and one for Bell
or Crittenden.
The Opposition party in Bath county, Ken
lucky, have nominated Edward Bates for Pres
ident, and L. W. Andrews for Vice President.
Hon. EDWARD BATES is nowise responsible
for the false misleading statements that have
been circulated in regard to his relations with
parties and political questions. The ST. Louis
Democrat has recently said for him, and with
his approval, that he is a Wing; and, so far is
he from being Republican, that he is even
opposed to the emancipation party of Missouri
being confirmed in his opposition to it, by his
great "horror of agitation" Those who favor
his nomination should not be willing to msrep.
resent and falsfy his position.
The Republicans of Grafton held a caucus,
"Wednesday evening, and appointed Messrs.
d. b. Wright, r. E. Warren, S. r. White, R.
L. Witherby, w. F. Slocum, and A. NJ. Bige.
low as delegates to the state convention.
The Republicans in Webster hold caucus
Saturday evening, to elect delegates to the state
and district conventions, and to determine their
policy at the town meeting, on Monday next
The preliminary meetings are also announced
for the same evening in nearly every town in
the county.
The republicans of the fifth Ohio congress.
sional district, have appointed David TAYLOR
and Edwin Graham delegates 10 the Chicago
convention. Resolutions urging the nomina-
ton of Salmon p Chase were adopted The
Cleveland district have chosen Robert f.
Payne and Judge Reuben Hitchcock. who are
also friendly to the nomination of Governor
Chase.
In Fall River, the republicans have nomi.
mated Edward p Burlington for mayor. Then
some inquiry arising as to what name the
meeting should be called under hereafter n
gentleman moved that it be the same as thai
under which the present meeting had beer
called, viz :-"Republican Americans" This
was voted down, and motion was then made
that they be called under the name of Gamer
lean Republicans. This also was voted
down; whereupon Mr. II. N. Gum moved
that petition be sent to the probate court fol
change of name. This shot of Mr. Gum
simply ending in fun, they finally voted t.
call themselves Republicans"
The following are the delegates from Wal

MIR. sEWARp,s SPEECH.

We publish, this morning, Senator Stewards
speech on Kansas and the slavery question.
Some mistake or mischance, somewhere, de-
prived us of the privilege of publishing it
yesterday morning. We had word from Mr..
Seward that copy of it would be sent us in
advance, if he decided to furnish advance cop
les to anybody. His intention to serve us
was good, but the copy failed to arrive in
time. Nevertheless, the speech will keep, not
merely one day, but many days or years,
without losing its life and power. There are
millions who will read it now with admiration,
and the next generations will study it as one of
the greatest and most important speeches of our
time. 1t is mastery statement of the sla-
very question and the present position of par
ties, such statement as no other man could
make. And it was delivered with such free
dom from passion, such dignity and elevation
of mind, and such serene confidence in his
prin ciples that it must compel the respect and
admiration of his opponents. His statement
of the principles and views of the republican
party, will be accepted as the best that has
ever Oeen maze anu WHO is Hltel 'H'h iie W
bear the party standard, and lead us to victory
in this year of our Lord 1860? Who can awak.
en- more enthusiasm, or give us better hope of
success Away with all cowardly and treach-
erous counsellors Let us be men and act
with the spirit of men. No other man can be
thought OF at Chicago in whom there is
more promise of strength and power to the re-
publican party.

renee, Kansas, has been printed; and there
are many who Will desire to read it. DIR. boy
has had his share of adventure among the
border ruffians, and of hard experience, in
many forms, during the struggles in Kansas.
1t is not long since the border ruffans had
him in prison at St. Joseph, from which he
was rescued, one night, by few daring men
from the troubled and outraged territory. 1t
will be readily understood that his narrative
is worth reading.
AN ARCTIC Boat JOURNEY, in the autumn
of 1854. BY Isaac J. Hayes, Surgeon of the
Second Grinnell Exploring Expedition. Bos-
ton; Brown, Paggart, & Chase, publishers.
Every one who has read DIR. Kane's record OF
his remarkable voyage in the arctic sea, with
which DR.. Hayes was connected, will be de.
sirous to read this volume, which in manner,
completes that work. This boat journey was
undertaken from Rensselaer, ha1bor away up
towards the pole, and the aim was to reach
UpernavIk in Greenland, which was a thou
sand miles distant, and the nearest because
most northern outpost of civilization. They
did not reach Upernavik but their Journey
lasted four months before they returned to the
ship. The purpose of DIR. Hayes is to dem
onstrate the existence of an open polar sea,
and the maps which accompany his book are
particularly valuable. In pursuit of this pur-
pose, he intends to undertake another of those
dreary and perilous arctic voyages. Without
wishing to accompany him on this voyage, we
like his book, and can recommend it as an
attractive and exciting record of personal ad-
venture. For sale by E. Meen, Jr.

Editor Of the Daily Spy Dear SRA COM
munication-of which the enclosed is a COPY
refusing certain statements in an article
in the Springfield Republican of the Goth
ult relating to the "Troy and Greenfield
Railroad Investigation going on at the
State House-has been forwarded to the edi
tor of that paper with a respectful request that
the same should be published or returned to
me; that editor having refused or neglected
to do either, or to retract his statements in
full it therefore devolves upon me, unpleasant
as the duty is, to ask vesthrough the me-
dunn of your paper, to pronounce his conduct
in this transaction ungentlemanly and dishon-
orable, and his statements in the article re-
ferred to, so far as they relate to me, absolute
ly and entirely destitute of truth.
Truly yours, &C.
AUSTIN L. ROGERS
Copy OF the communication above referred to-
BosToN, Feb. 20 1860.
Editor of the Republican -
My attention has been called to your article
in the Republican of this morning, relating to
"The Troy and Greenfield Railroad inyestiga-
ton, in which the following characteristic
statements are made:
"Among the witnesses who have been exam
ined by the committee are Mr.. Haupt, the
contractor, Mr.. w. L. Davis and Mr.. Carpen-
ter of Greenfield, the treasurer and president
OF the company, one or two engineers who
have been employed upon the work, Mr. Har-
ris, president of the Connecticut River Rail-
road, and ex~councillel Rogers of Worcester.
Mr.. Rogers appears to be the only member of
the council who examined the work-the three
miles of grading out of the first four miles of
road of Greenfeld-upon which the last Install
ment was demanded and paid and as his ex-
animation occurred during the canvass for his
denomination for Councillor, and when he was
therefore willing to be pleased with everything
he saw in Franklin county, it is supposed he
did look quite as sharply as some other man
might have DONE"
Ex-Councillor Rogers has not been examined
BY the committee alluded to, nor has he been
asked to appear before them, although he has
met the chairman or some member of the com
mlttee nearly every day for a week, and has
frequently expressed a desire to be examined
by them. ExCouncillor Rogers vaS not the
only member Of the Council who examined
the work referred TO, but it was examined by
Lieut.. Gov. Trask, Messrs. Eames, Cogswell.
Ames and Rogers of the Council. This ex.
animation Of work did not occur during the
canvass for his denomination for Councillor,
nor that OF any one else, but it was made on
the 2lst OF December last, some t,co months at.
Ter the nomination, and about sir weekS after the
election Of his successor, Mr.. Greene.
Respectfully ask that you may give the
same publicity to this statement of facts that is
given to your article from which the above
quotation is made. Respectfully yours,
AUSTIN l.. RoGERs.
