Republican OOcIrIne.

Jim Lane, United States Senator from
Kansas, and a great man in the Aministra-
| tion ranks, in a late speech in Kansas thus
proclaimed the real Republican doctrine
"Fhe Constitution as it is was is piayed
outfits technical definition is the restoration
of slavery, and am ready TO see any Kansas
man shot down who fayors the Union as it
was
This sagrees with Carl Schurz Horace
Greeley, and score of other leading Aroli-
tonists, who declare that the Union of onr IA
theirs has forever departed They all agree
with Stone, their candidate for Governor OF
Iowa, who declares that "ths is an abolition
wa" NOT a war for the Union the latter
dodge, they think, having ceased TO serve
their party purposes

YANKEE LETTERs.-A large batch Of Yam
kee letters, picked up on the battle field aud
taken from Yankee prisoners have been sell
to us. We find nothing especially remarkable
in them. They are very monotonous. Most
of them from women. All Of them are ex-
ceedingly urgent upon the men to come home.
Many of them ask for money-$l0 being the
sum generally needed. Many of them are ad-
dressed to msn whoee time is nearly out, and
they are very pious in their prayers tina. these
men may come home before Hooker advaaces.
Execration Of the war is Il general sentiment,
and despair of ever conquering the wretched
rebsls is another, almost as frequent in these
practical epistles. One woman asks Joe to
be more saving, not to spend his money with
speculators and camp followers, but to send
more home to support his family. Another
complains bitterly that her husband expected
her to make s. per week more than she cid
when it was impossible. Shs retorts by tell
ing him he ought to send more money home
than he had sent. Taking thess letters as sam
ples, there is certainly no excessive amount
of felicity among the people of the North at
this time.
