GOV. BsAMLEl IE,s D0cTnlNE.

Gov. Bram'ette, Of Kentucky, SAYS the San
Francisco Bulletin, received letter lately from
q Copperhead, who rebuked his call for volun-
teers on the grouhd that be was acting in con,
cert with dominant party, whose success would
be more detrimental to Kentucky than that Of
the armed rebels themselves. To this the Gov
eruor wrote in reply that to preserve ous na-
tionality was the paramount duty Of patriotism.
lie says.
But you say the object Of thewar is to destroy
slavery and bankrupt the Shareholders. That the
destruction Of slavery may be the result Of the
war seems now strong probability but such
is not the object. Who made this war? Was
it not the rebels? Had they any excuse for it I!

the result of rebellion! While the war
Of rebellion is upon u.s. II is Us less to talk about
other obj It's Of strife. The war is an immediate
aud unavoidable necessity, and is sufficient in
purpose, without any other suggestion. The
existence OF the war is an opportunity for fanat-
icism. Subdue the one and you queIl the Oiher
Rebellion watts fanaticism upon the rolling waves
OF bloody conflict, and subsists il upon the car

and policies advocated which Ideem grave errors,
is true; but while the main issue is depending,
il is n weakness, not incident to true patriotism,
to stampede from duty because somebody else
wishes to exceed duty. The war Of rebellion is
upon us. We have to meet 1t, no matter what
other evils may come in its train. The success
