Before the issue OF another number OF
this paper the great political struggle now
occupying the attention of the people Of
this country, will have been decided. The
battle will have been fought, and won
either by the one party or the other, and
the grave and momentous question of our
existance as q nation will have been
solved. The issue at stake is weighty
one, and Of q character Of sufficient i'm
portance to enlist our deepest research
governed by sound aud dispassionate
judgment, for the discovery Of the right.
Neither space nor time admi. that in
this article We should adduce arguments
to justify US in the course we have seen
fit to adopt and sought to have our readers
adopt in their action at the coming cleo
ton. Arguments We have already ad-
vanced. and those too of az incontraver.
tble character to our mind. Wba, We
desire TO do now is simply to call atten-
ton again, and for the last time, to those
arguments. and to ask that the electors of
the Northwest, laying aside all partisan
feeling, prejudice and feeling. realize as
they are compelled to do the fall nature
and character Of their duties Is American
Freemen. To bear in mind that their de.
cision and action is to determine our
future either for veal or woe. We would
particularly call upon tina. portion of the
Republican party who have been too hon.
est to secure Office or pelf under the pres.
cut Administration, to come out FROM
among the destroyers Of the government,
the Constitution and the laws and joining
hands with US assist in the great effort
now being made by the old conservative
Democratic party for the restoration of
our distracted country. We would ask
them to consider we'll the results Of the
action Of Mr. Lincoln for the last three
and . half years, and to enquire whether
they are of character to compensate for
the thousands of millions that have been
squsndsred, the hundreds Of thousands Of
widows and orphans that have been made
the blood that has inuudated our land
like water, and the bankruptcy which has
been entailed upon tho nation. If not,
then like honest men and faithful citizens
refrain not from lending your aid for the
disposing from place and power party
whose theory and practice has we'll neigh
brought US to the very gates of death and
destruction.
To those Of the Republican party who
are riot;ng in treasures coined from the
blood Of slain brothers and the te.rs and
means Of widows and orphans made desc.
late BY the slaughter Of some dear father
or husband, We have nsught to ssy We
neither expect or desire aught :. their
hsnds. which will 1t oil tend to suspend
tho further sfusiou Of blood and money,

OF the Northwest will bear in mind that
in supporting A. W. Hubbard they are
voting for the man who has been instru-
mental in depriving them of Railroad.
When We make this allegation re do not
do it without full knowledge of the fac,s
connected With the late legislation in re-
gard to the change Of route Of the Dubu-
que & Sioux City and the Union and
Pacific railroads. Some eve or six weeks
ago We first brought the per6dy Of Mr..
Hubbard in regard to our railroads to TIC
attention Of the public, in lengthy arti.
Gle, in which We made full and ex plicit
expose Of the whole matter. Those
charges have been tacitly admitted by the
failure Of Mr.. Hubbard to deny them,
although he has had ample tune and
means to do so. Six weeks have elapsed
and not = re!ntation-eight or nine Re-
publican papers in the district, besides his
own home organ, and Lot single article
which amounts to even q respectable res
ponse to the issue We have 80 long and so
persistently rendered. Bat instead Of
straightforward manly denial or ndmis-
sion of the charges We have made, We find
in the Sioux City Journal-IIubbard's
organ-a dirty and scurrilous attack upon
some Of our most respectable business
men. The Journal should however remem.
Der that personal abuse is no: argument,
and will hardly satisfy the good sense Of
such discriminating people - We have
