JUDGE HUBBARD.-The Sioux City Regis,
ter, loyal Democratic paper, edited by the
Hon. Patrick Robb, speaks in the following
complimentary tones Of our congressional
nominee:
The Republicans Of this Congressional
District have rendered the nomination for
Congress to Judge Hubbard ofthis city. We
have always differed with the Judge politi-
cally, but we regard him by far the ablest,
fittest and safest Republican in the District
for the position to which he has been nom

will be sorry to lose the Judges services On
the bench---a position which he has filled
with homer to himself and satisfaction to
them.

The following is an extract from New
Haven Comm paper, which we rs,publish
to show that in the far East they appreciate
the zeal Iowa is manifssting in the cause Of
the Union. Speaking Of our quota and the
rapid enlistments, it says:
"There will be no need for draft in Iowa
The whole male population is filled with
the war spirit. Men who have sons al
ready in the service are leaving their wives
and daughters to take care of their farms, and
volunteering to whip the rebels and restore
the Union"

THE DEATH BLOW TO IOWA DE.
TGCRACY.

The Democratic party of this State cut its
own throat when it nominated d. A. Mahony
of the Dubuque Herald, for Congress in the
Third District. Nothing that its opponents
could say, will as fully and conclusively prove
to the masses that treason turks in Iowa
Democracy, as the nominating Of a man who
has for a long time openly and boldly acted
the part of traitor, and who, at the time he
was nominated was under arrest on the
charge Of treason. The people Of Iowa, as a
mass, do not want anything to do with man
even suspected of having reasonable procliv-
tiles, much less with one who unblushingly
vaunts his treason and glories in it, and who
has been denounced as a traitor by large
portion OF his own party. His nomination
was death-blow to Democracy in this State.
Nearly one-half Of the delegates in the con-
Yention repudiatsd the nomination, and left
in disgust, saying that they should use all
their influence for Mahony's defeat. Thnb,
of it, a traitor under arrest for his openly dis
played hostility to the Government nominal
ed for one Of the highest and most important
offices in the gift of the people. Such loyal
ty is cheat and a lie, and every honest man
will repudate it.

No SUBsTITUrEs.--Th Springfield GIL
Register announces, apparently by authority,
that no substitutes will be admitted; that
those who are drafted must serge whether
rich or poor. We do not know as this plan
will prevail! in this State, but if it should,
those who have expected to purchase sub
stitutes, in case if being drafted, can save
their money and face the music. Two classes
would be affected by this plan of not allow
ing substitutes; those expecting to purchase
substitutes, and those waiting to make mon
ey by going as substitutes.

Fr. Donelson has been abandoned by the
Federals, the position being now valueless on
account Of the low stage of water in the Cum.
berland River, which is only thirty inches.
Later accounts contradict the above. A
dispatch from Cairo, dated the 25th says the
rebels, seven hundred strong, attacked Fl.
Donelson, and after severe engagement
were repulsed with a loss Of thirty killed and
wounded. Our loss was only two wounded.

For the Gazette.

MEsSRs. EDlIoRS In tnat lttle Seml-Se-
cession sheet published in this place, called
the North Vsst Democrat, Of August 21st,
some person charges the Republican party
with being the cause Of the present war, and
that therefore the consequences of it may
justly be attributed to said party. North
Vest Democrat! God save our country
When think of Democracy as it was in
the good old jackson times, and then of what
is called Democracy at the present time, it
reminds me Of the poets blessing, which was
in these words:
Father Of love, look down from above
And bless this leg of mutton,
That once was sweet, and good to eat,
But now, by Cd, it's rotten"
The person that made. the charge is evil
IDENTIFY young man, OF one whose memory
is treacherous. He forgets that Thomas JEFF
ferson was Democrat and an antisavery
man, and that he was the author of the pro-
viso that KEEP. slavery out of the North invest
ern territory. He also forgets that jackson
was Democrat, and although he was man
that let his prejudiccs run great ways, he
was not SO prejudiced against color but that
he would allow a man with a dark complex.
ion to fight the battles of his country when
he thought it necessary. That was before
the Niger worshipers got control of the
Democratic party. He forgets too, perhaps,
that Wilmot was Democrat, and that he
offered the same prohibition in Congress dur
ing Mr.. Folks administration, and that it
passed the lower house with but little oppo-
sition. He is not aware, perhaps, that the
scales began to fall from some of our polite
lan's eyes about that time, and that they then
saw the hideousness Of Slavery as compared
with the beauties of Freedom; and that
about that time the two old parties in Con-
gress joined teams and voted down the Viii
mot Proviso and a little squad Of Free Sellers
that was there, and agreed that the subject Of
Slavery should not be agitated further in OF
out of Congress. l wish my young friend to
bear in mind that the slave power threatened
at that time to dissolve the Union if Calfor.
MIA was admitted as free State, and 70,
various other causes. Then the slave power
repealed the Missouri Compromise my
young friend ought to remember that, and
what followed. The young man says The
Republican party might have prevented the
present devastating civil war. Yes, indeed
it might; but as | understand it the Repub
lican party was formed from the best portion
Of the three old parties for the purpose o
rolling back the slavery tide, and bringing
the Government back to the old Democrat,
landmarks. Peter or James might have solo
their Lord and Master, and might possibly
have got forty pieces Of silver, but they die
not. Judas took less.
Now it is quite evident that the young mar
is not sufficiently posted, or that he wants t.
deceive others. If the former, would ad
wise him to take and read the New Yorl
Tribune; if the latter, God have mercy OF
his soul.

a long letter addressed to the President by
Horace Greeley. The following is Lincoln's
reply:

THE following we clip from the Cerro Cor.
do Republicans:
The North Vest Democrat, published al
Cedar Falls, is becoming somewhat noted ror
its Hsraldry. In the issue of the 14th OF
this month the proceedings Of Democratic
meeting held at Rock Grove, Floyd county,
appeared containing resolutions One con
dennis Abolition ministers for urging young
men to volunteer. We have room only for
the following:
Resolpea, That it is with the deepest feel
ings of regret and notification, we see the
flag of our country, which, for more than
eighty years has waved over the happiest
people on earth, now desccrated to hide the
cloven foot of black Republcanism
ResolUed, That it is an oft repeated and
sullen declaration of the Aboitionists, that
they will not become bulldogs, to run down
fugitives for Southern men-therelore
ReSolred, That Sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander;" that we will not be-
come, for Northern Aboitionists, spaniels,
ours, or mastifES, or any other of the canine
species, to scent up or hunt down, those
whom they may brand as traitors or seces-
s;onists.
RSSolced, That we are in favor Of a speedy
compromise OF our present national difficult
ties, on the Crittenden Compromise or some
other basis, and until compromise is made,
and peace again restored, we hold the pres
party in power in part responsible for the
catalogue Of crimes and injuries done to the
nation.
Rssolce9, That the proceedings Of this
meeting be published in the North Vest
Democrat, and Dubuque Herald; the Con-
stitutional organs of the Democracy of North
western Iowa.
1t is reported that the neighborhood in
which this meeting was held beasts Of flying
Confederate flag, and that the chairman
openly denounces the government and jus.
titles the rebels as fighting in a just cause
We presume the Dcmocrat felewships the
members of the above meeting, as their res.
olutions are published giving credit to the
paper as being, with the Herald, their Con
stitutional organ.
WE give the following for what it is worth
There may be truth in it, and there may not
bc-we incline to the latter belief 1t is a
pecial to the n Y. Tribune, dated Washing.
on, August 22d:
" In justice to all parties, it seems proper
to state the following, which we learn from
SO many sources that it can no longer be
considered State secret.
1.-Two or three weeks ago, the President
laid before his Cabinet a proclamation Of
emancipation, abolishing slavery on tho first
of next December, if the rebellion should
not be crushed, and asked the opinion Of bis
Ministers touching the propriety Of issuing it
All but two-Secretary Smith, we believe
being absent-approvea. Secretary Seward
and Postmaster Blair, however, opposed with
all their might, and the result was it did net
appear. 1t is understood tho subject came
up at more than one Cabinet meeting, but
Seward and Blair renamed resolute mi
norty."
