The enly yvey 10 Defeat the Disunienists
IL to Vote fer Lincoln.
Geo. +. Hubbell, Of Davenport, is a sensible
Douglas Democrat. He has surveyed the whole
ground, and finds that by supporting Douglas, hi:
first choice, he is not only throwing away his
vote, but playing into the hands Of the Admins
| tration and Disnnion conspirators. 1t is .hei,
game to have Douglas carry enough Northern
States to throw the election into the House
where no choice can be made. 1t tn n goes to
the Senate, where 10 Lane, the tool of the Sc
cessionists and the Administration, is elected
Vice President, and under the Constitution be
comes President of the United States. Mr..
Hubbell secs that the best way to kill off this
scheme is to go in strong for Lincoln, and pub
fishes the following manifesto in the Davenport
papers. A great many Others, when they coolly
survey the ground and consider the chances, will
come to the same conclusion he does, and follow
his example. Douglas is not in the fight and it is
folly to throw away votes upon him.

the course of human events it becomes necessary
for person to dissolve the political bands which
have connected him with party, and to assume
among the freemen of the nation the separate
and equal station Of individual independence to
which the laws of nature and of natures God en-
title him, decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that he should declare the
causes which impel him to the separation.
hold these truths to be selfcyident: that all men
are created equal that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienablc rights;
that among these are life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriuiag
Meir Just poscers from the consent Of tie governed
that whenever any party in government be-
comes destructive of these ends, it is the right,
it is the duty Of the people to abandon such party
and to institute new party that shall secure to
the people the establishment of these truths
Prudence and party ties are 30 strong that all ex-
pericnce has shown that individuals composing it
are more disposed to remain loyal to such party,
long after it has abandoned the principles Of its
organization than to organize new parties or at
tach themselves to other parties, whose princi
Piles are more in accordance with their views of
public policy. But when long train of abuses
and usurpatiOns, pursuing invariably the same OBJ
ject, eyinces a design to reduce freemen under
absolute despotism, Is their right, Il is N.e;y dtay
to abandon such party, and to join some party
that will provide better securities for public lib
critics.
The history of the present Democratic Admin
istration of these United States is history of
repeated injuries and usurpatione, all having in
direct object the establishments Of an absolute
political tyranny over the members Of that party

down mOnstrons system of theOcracy and re-
bellion in Utah, and when the army had reached
the scene Of the disorder after having its bag.

rebels on the march, it has hastily proclaimed a
general pardon without any effort to punish the
traitors.
II has for long time BY inaction, allowed the
citizens OF these States to carry the barbaroas
and brutal trade of importing African slaves,
