MRS. LINooLN's OPINION OF REpUBLI-
CANS.
A significant feature of the subsequent
letters and memoranda is the feeling enter
tanned by Mrs Lincoln towards leading
Republicans. She complains bitterly that
men who besought her influence to secure
their official positions, and were profuse
with promises if she would crafty their
wishes, now give her the cold shoulder
Certain persons of that party, such as
Tburlow Weed, Henry J. Raymond, VIM.
II. Seward and others, she is particularly
severe against, and claims that it was
through their influence that the plan pro-
posed by the Tribune to raise a fund for
her by the voluntary subscription of the
people was thwarted. AT this point the
following memorandum, the original being
in Mrs. lincolu's own handwriting, is
given
The question was asked Mrs. Lincoln
what her feelings were in regard to the
Republican party, in consideration of the
unkindnoss and iDgratitude displayed by
them in depriving her of almost ali means
of support, the reply was, 81 could not re-
linquish my attachment for the party to
which my husband belonged, and 10 whose
cause his precious life was sacrificed, not
withstanding it is composed Of such men
as Weed, Raymond and Seward, who NOM
inally belong to it, and who to accomplish
their purpose would drag it down to the
lowest depths of degradation. The late
President thoroughly tested these men,
and had become fully aware before hi
death of their treachery and falseness."
MRS. LINCOLN UNDER AN ASSUMED
NAME.
AS the negotiations with Mr.. Brady
proceeded, Mrs. Lincoln deemed it best
that her name should not appear, the rea
sons for which are given in the following
extract from letter written by her
EXTRACT OF LETTER FROM MRS.
LINCOLN
"Through the ingratitude of the Re-
publicans towards the memory of the la
mented President, the family of their
chief have been left to suffer want and
restitution. Therefore it is natural to
suppose that when it became imperatively
necessary for Mrs. Lincoln, the honored
and beloved wife of the late President, to
dispose of apparel aud jewelry to enable
her to meet the common daily necessities
of life, it was certainly in better taste that
Mrs. Clarke, rather than Mrs. Lincoln,
should appear in the proceeding. AL.
though in her overwhelming sorrow she
was by an ungrateful republican party,
deprived of her rightful main 'enapce, they
should appreciate her delicacy in desiring
her true name and their own ignominy
from being known to the world"
SUBSEQUENT LETTERS.
The next letter presents more in detail
the reasons for her action in this sad mat
ter, and at the same time expresses her
regret that the ingratitude of Republicans
may do injury to the Republican party !:
