at Madison on the 29th ult., took up the

Iowa Democratic Platform.

The Iowa Democratic State Convention
held on the 22nd ult, was composed prin-
cipally of the old political stagers the peo-
pie of Iowa have been turning out to grass
from time to time. The platform they
adopted is Douglas all over and under, and
the following fair abstract will suffice for
such as have not had the rare felicity of see
ing the notable document 10 full:
/. The American Eagle is very fine
fowl.
2. We unanimously vote Old Ossawota-
mie to the devil
8. For the Black Republican party--the
same hasty dish of soup.

KENEEDY's MEDICAL DIscovERY.-We
cheerfully devote to Mr.. Kennedy and his
popular medicine portion of our columns
to-day, for we are we'll aware that the "Dis-
covery" is doing more in one week it the cur
ing Of humors of every description, than
any remedy that has ever been got up has
done in its whole career. We are prepared
to speak of this article in the most conf
dent manner, for wa have taken unusual
pains to find out whether it was all that it
professed to be. We have visited the La
boratory of Mr.. Kennedy at Roxbury, and
there perused the certificates of those who
have been cured, many of them known to
us as persons of veracity and truth. In ad-
dition to this we have had cases Of cure oc-
cur among our own relatives and friends,
and without solicitation have had persons
relate to us what the "Discovery" did for
them; these are our reasons for the high
estimation in which we hold this remedy.

SeWarO'S speech ana DeDate LhereOus
Senator Seward had an audience worthy Of
his great effort. Every Senator appeared
to be in his seat Hunter, Davis, Toombs,
Mason, Hammond, Slidell, Clingman, Ben
jamin, Brown, and others who had malign-
ed him and denounced the "irrepressible
conflict" doctrine, paid the closest attention.
Douglas affected to be self-possessed, but
his wincing and display of passion when
Seward closed, showed where the arrows OF
truth had struck. The debate was protract-
ed until half past six o'clock, and the Gin
cinnsti Gazette's letter says:
No sooner had Mr.. Seward concluded
than he was assailed with great ferocity by
Douglas and Davis. The former with his
characteristic insolence and impertinence,
assaled the Senator from New York, i'm
putting personal motives and indulgng gen
orally in those clap-trap arguments which
may do on the stump, but are hardly suit
ed to the Senate Chamber, and were in
marked contrast to the digniied and the
lofty tone which distinguished Mr.. Stewards
delivery. The Little Giant of course de-
Tended, with all the fuss of a hen with one
chicken, his pet bantling-the Kansas-Ne-
braska Bill-which he labored very hard to
show was only the natural sequel Of the
Compromise Measures Of 1850.
TRUMBULL AND DOUGLAS.
Mr.. Trumbull took him up and put him
in very tight place by recalling the fact
that when the Kansas N ebraska bill was
first reported it did not4eontain the clause
repeating the MissourrCompromise. That
was proposed by Dixon, of Kentucky, and
when first offered, was denounced by Doug
las and his friends as fire brand. He al
so reminded Douglas that when the Repub-
licans proposed an amendment allowing the
people of Kansas and Nebraska to elect their
own Governors, he voted against it, and
the result was that that the Governors of
those Territories had defeated the popular
will by vetoing bills prohibiting Slavery
This was popular Sovereignty with ven
geance.
He further asked Douglas how there were
to be under his doctrine any more free
States, inasmuch as he asserted that the
Constitution carried Slavery into the Terri
tories, and further said that no State could
undertake to deprive persons Of their prop
erty. How under the proposition Slavery
was to be excluded from any State he could
not see.

Another ocean steamer gone Down.

On Monday morning, February goth,
steamers lights were seen off the shore of
Cape Sable, the southern point of Nova
Scotia. In the terrible storm which was
then raging, no assistance could be rendered,
and up to this time, two weeks and more,
the intelligence received is definite ouly in
this particular, that not one of the human
beings who crowded her decks, made the
ocean passage, and almost reached the point
Of their destination, have been saved, all have
gone down in the deep waters. The tale of
their sufferings in that fearful storm will
never be told on earth. The telegraphic
report from Halifax, of March I'd, says:
at is now ascertained beyond a doubt
that there are no survivors of the Hungarian.
Only three bodies have been found-one
that Of woman, one of a man supposed
to be a fireman, and one of child about
two years old. The cargo and materials of
the steamer are scattered along the shore
from Tasket around Cape Sable as far east
as Ragged Island. Considerable goods arc
drifting ashore at the mouth of Shelbourne,
harbor. The country people generally are
acting honestly. Three stores are hired at
Darlington, to collect the property in, which
is OF considerable value. The goods are
strcwed over the coast for seventy miles.
The ships articles have been found, and
show that the crew numbered "A. No pas
senger list has yet been found The ru-
mored finding Of the clearance of the steam
er is untrue. The only passengers yet
known TO have been on board the ill-fated
vessel are VIM. Boultenhouse of Sackville,
and DR.. Barrett of N. Y. A box belong
ing to the latter has been found, containing
a number of letters from his wife and
daughter.
Particular care will be taken Of any bod
les that may be found, and record Of the
marks found upon them will be kept. The
bodies will be buried in separate graves, for
recovery by their friends. The mails are
soaked into pulp, but they will be sent to
Halifax by the rovenne cutter Daring. Hon.
Joseph Howe, Provincial Secretary, is ex-
hibiting much interest and promptitude
concerning the wreck
MONTREAL, March 8.
Capt. Crawford telegraphs the agents of
the Hungarian that five more mail bags
have been found, but no moro bodies.

A Convict,s Ruse.

Sheriff Snyder brings the following an.
ecdote from Alton: A few days since
one of the convicts in the peritentiary got
into cart in which another convict was
hauling shayings out Of the yard, to
throw into the river. After he had taken
his position, the other covered him very
snugly with shavings, and promised to
dump the load at some convenient place
where he might remain concealed in the
shavings until the proper time to make
his escape. But unfortunately for the
concealed convict. another driver was
directed to take charge Of the cart, who
was ignorant Of the attempted ruse, as
The concealed convict was of the change
of drivers. And ere the poor fellow
discovered that he had fallen into the
hands OF one who knew not Joseph, the
cart was driven 10 the buff, and the load
of shavings was dumped over preci-
pice of fifteen or twenty feet high, into
Mississippi. Zounds! but it was cold
comfort. He emerged from his cold
bath, astonishing the driver as much as
lie was astonished himself; and without
attempting to travel further into the cold
charity of the world, took bee line for
the penitentiary, where he will Iemain,
probably, until warm weather before he
attempts repetition Of his ruse.-Paris

We got up and made another trial, with

in our peculiar syle, fifteen feet, when a
blundering chap came up behind, and we
sat down with our tired head pilIowel in

made our debut on the ice--oh how
