CONCLUSION.

In the performance of a duty imposed upon
me by the Constitution. have thus submitted
to the Representatives. of the States and of the
people, such information of our domestic and
for eign affairs as the public interests seem TO
require. Our Government is undergoing
its most trying ordeal, and my earnest prayer
is that the peril may be successfully and finally
passed without impairing its original strength
and symmetry. The interests of the nation are
best TO be promoted by the revival of frstcrnal
relations. the complete obliteraiion OF our past
differences. and the reinauguration of all the
pursuits of peace. Directing efforts to the
early accomplishment of these great ends, let
us cndeayor to preserve harmony between the
coordinate departments of the Government,
that each in its proper sphere may cordially &C.
operate with the other in securing the mainten-
auce of the Constitution. the preservation Of
the Union, aud the perpetnity of our free insti-
buttons. ANDREW JOHNSON.

The entire success of the Atlantic telegraph

In the month of April last, as Congress is
aware, friendly arrangement was made be-
tween the Emperor of the French and the Pres
idcnt of the United States for the withdrawal
from Mexico of the French expeditionary mill
tarv forces. The withdrawal was To be made in
three detachments, the first of which, it was
understood would leave Mexico in November
now past; the second in March next, and the
third and last In November 1867. Immediately
upon the completion of the evacuation, the
French Government was to assume the same
attitude of non intervention in regard to Next
co as is held by the Government OF the United
States. Repeated assurances have been given
by the Emperor, since that agreement, that he
would complete the promised evacuation within
the period mentioned, or sooner. 1t was rea-
souabIy expected that the proceedings thus con-
terminated would produce a crisis of great politi-
cal interest in the Republic of Mexico. The
newly appointed Minister of the United States,
Mr. Campbell, was, therefore, sent forward, on
the ninth day Of November last to assume his
proper functions as Minister Penpotentiary Of
the United States to that Republic 1t was also
thought expedient that he should be attended
in the vicinity Of Mexico by the Lieutenant
General of the army of the United States, with
a view of obtaining such information as might
be important to determine the course to be
pursued by the United States in establishing
and maintaining necessary and proper inter
course with the Republic of Mexico. Deeply
interested in the cause of liberty and humani-
ty, it seemed an obvious duty on our part to
exercise whatever influence we possessed for
the restoration and permanent establishment IN
that country of domestic and republican form
of government. Such the condition of
affairs in regard to Mexico, when, on the 22d of
November last, official information was received
from Paris that the Emperor of France had
some time before decided to withdraw detach-
ment of his forces in the month of November
past, according to engagement, but that TINS

Dearest, Come Kiss Me.

Dearest, Come Kiss Me.
A Western lady published poem COM
mencing:
dearest come kiss me; my lips are yet warm,
And my bosom still pants for the clasp of thy
arm;
The blood dances wildly through each throbbing
vein
But 1 droop, oh droop for thy kisses again,
10 which very verdant young gen,
tleman replied
Jee'roo. aleml dearest, dart like fish;
My lips shall with kisses respond to thy wish !;
Ill check not the blood thrilling wild in each
yeL;
But III stop thee from dropping for kisses again.
Then turn up thy bill, love, I'll pounce like q
bird;
And through vale and through forest the smack
shall be heard.
If you suffer for kisses, I'm thar, you may be-;
And I'll kiss thee from morn till tue sun shall
be set.
Come kiss thee! why, tbunder, I'm ono Of tha,
kind
I'm the chap Of all others you're trying to find
So you needn't look arther-Pm in tor chance,
Tho the tlood should 'cavort' and your pulses
may dance.
So bring on the fruits, love your kisses mean,
For dream now Of nothing but peaches and
cream
I'm waiting, and painting and praying till then ;
So come along, dearest, as quick as YOU can.
