PRESIDENT .JOHNSON'S ADDRESS, To the People of the United States. The robe of i ffice,by constitutional limitation, this day ialls tiom my shoulders to be immediately assumed by my successor. ! For him the forbearance and CO operation i of the Am rican peopk in all his t tlrts to administ r the Gtvirr.mcnt within the . pale ot the Federal Constitution, are sincerely invited. Without ambition togntify.party ends to subserve or personal qi arrels to avenge at the sacrifice of the peace and welfare of the country, my earnest) desirt' is to see the Constitution of the Re- ; )Ublic again the recognized and obeyed aw of the land, and the whole people, North, Houth, East and West, prosperous j and happy under its wise provisions. In surrendering the high cilice to which I was called four years ago by a memorable and j terrible crisis, it is my privilege, I trust, to j say to the people of the United States a ! few parting words in vindication of an official course so ceash ssly assailed and asperked by political leaders, to whose plans and wishes my policy to restore the Union has been obnoxious. In a period of difti- i culty and turmoil, almost without precedent in thchist ory of any people,consequent npon the closing scenes of a great rebellion, an 1 1 be nmrninttiftn of the President, It was perfa tpa too much on my part to expect of the devoted partisans who rode on the waves of excitement, which at that time swept all before them, that degree of toleration an 1 magnanimity which I Mtht to recommend and enforce, and which I believe, in good time, would have advanced us infinitely further on the road to permanent peace and prosperity than we have Inns (ar attained. Doubtless had I, at the Qoeuaeneement of my term 1 of rice, unhesitatingly lent its powers, or perverted them to purposes and plans ou'sidc of the Constitution, and become an instrument to schemes of confiscation and of general and oppressive disqualification, I would have be en hailed as all that was true, loyal and tfcrving as the heat of i party, vha'.-ver I might have been as an Ext-rutive cl a nation. Unwilling, however, to accede to the proposition Of the extremists, and bound to obey at every penoaad hazard, my oaiai to defend the Constitution, I nee 1 not perhaps be surprised at having met the fate of other?, whose only r.-uanh l'"r upholding constitutional rights and laws have been the coocntioqsneg of having attempted to do their duty, :ind the calmer judgment of history. At the time a mysterious Providence assigned to me the office of President. I eras, by the terms of theConBtitution, Commander in-Chief of nearly a million of men under arms. One of my tirst acts wai to dielmnd and restore to the vocation i f civil life kids immense host, tad to divest myself, as far as Icould, of the anparalleled powen theu incident t the office and the times, Whether or act, in tni ; p I was rlht, and how far deserving of the approbation of ail, the people c n now, on reflection, judge, when reminded of the ruinous condition of public arlair3 thai hunt huve result '.-1 from the continuance in the military service of such a vast number of men. The close of our domestic conflict found the army enget to " fjiiih llsf lf in a new held, by an effort to pnnish European intervention in Mexico. By many it was believed and urged that i side from the aisumeei justice ot the proceedings, a foreign war, fas which bothatiei would eheeffhlrjp unite to vh elie.ite the hottet ol the national flag, and further illustrate the national prowess, would be the sure t and steeliest, way of awakening national enthusiasm, and reviving devotion to the Union, and employing a force, concerning which grave doubts existed as to its willingness, after four years of active a . ig Ding, at once to return to the pnrsnilaof pence. Whether these speculations were true or false, it will be conceded that they existed, and that the predilections oi the army were, for the time being, in the direction indicated. Taking advantage of Lb. it feeling, it would have been easy, aa the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Xavy, with all the power and patron ige of the Presidential ofriee at my dispe il to tum the com entratcd strength of the nation agjant French in terferenc in Mexico, end to inaugurate a movement which ffonkl have been received with favor by the military and a large portion of the people. It is proper in this connection, that I should refer to the

almost unlhiiUi d a Iditional powers tendered to the Executive by tin: measures relating to the civil rights and Freedmen's Bureau. Contrary to aasst precedents in the experience of public mcr, the powen thus planed within my grasp were declined a; being in violation of the Conrillalion, i engerons to the liberties of the people, and tending to aggravate rather than lessen the discords nrttunliy resulting from our civil w.ir. With a large army and augn-ented authority, it would have bs n no difficult task to direct at pleasure the destinies of the Ktpublic and make secure my continuance in the highest office known to our laws. Let the people whom I am addn Basing from the Presidential chair darin the closing hours of a Lsborioai t rm, consider how different would have been the present condition had I yielded to the dazsling temptation of foreign conquests, of personal aggrandizement and the desire to wield adlitional power; let them with justice consider that, if I have not unduly magnified mine offiee, the public burdens have not been harreaaeo by my ncb, and thousands r p rhaps tens of thousands of livea sacrifice ! to visions of false glory, it cannot, therefore, be charged that my ambition h as been of that inordinate or criminal kind which, t- the detriment of the pubfic right and liberties, ever seeks to grasp more and unwarranted ower, and, as aeaoaapilah its purpose, panders too oft n to popojai prejudices and party aim. What, then, have been the aspirations which have guided me in my ofhVcfad ad ! Tin e actl need not, at this time, an atahorats explanation. They ha . e elsewhere been c anprehsnaively and fully discussed and become a part of the nation's !)iDrv By them I am ready to be judged. Kn twing that however imperfect, they at inast show to the impartial mind, thai my ambition has been to restore the Union of the States ; faithfully to execute th. office of President, and, to the beat of my ability, to observe, protect and defend the Constitution. 1 Cannot be cenrured if my efforts have Wen imne led in the Interests of party faction ; and if a policy, which was intended to ream are and ( tondliata the people of both s ction.j of the country, was made the i rca ion ol" indming and dividing still further those who, only recently in arms against e ach other, yet as individuals and citiz ns were sincerely desirous, as I shall ever fceüt ve, of burying all hostile feelings in the grave of the past. The bitter war was waged on the part of the Government to vindicate the'onstitution and save the Union, and if I have erred in trying to bring about a more cpeedy and lasting peace : to extinguish heart-burnings and enmities, a id to prevent trouble in the South, which wis retaiding the material prosperity m that region, injuriously affecting the whole country, I am quite content t . n a my case with the more ilaflheralii judgment of the people, and as I have already intimated with the distant future. The w ir, all aaant re -number, was a stupendous and deplorable mistake. Neither side under ' i !hr f' h r, and had this simple fact and it a conclusions been kept In view, a'd that was Leaded vas accomplished by the vdinowic Jgment of the terrible wrong ar.-;. the expressed belter feelicir au i rnest t-ndeayor at atonement shown a id i It i i prompt, ratifientioi j the C oal tdmentl by the Southern 8tel9 at the close cf the nil Not aocpiin,' in- wi iu a ropfessed alM

step on the part of those who inaugurated j

11, was an erroi vvuiuu . om v iiuie can j eure, and which, even at this late date, we should endeavor to palliate. Experienc j ing, moreover, as all have done, the fright- j ful cost ot the arbitrament of the sword, j let us in the future cling closer than ever to the Constitution as our only sateeuard It is to be hoped that not until the bnru ns now pressing upon us with such fearful weight are removed, will our people forest the lessons of the war, and that, re membering them irom whatever cauc, peace between sections and States may j be perpetual. Tiie history ot late events in our country . as well as of the greatest governments of ancient and modern times, teaches that wc have everything to fear from a departure from the letter and spirit of theConstitu tion, and the undue ascendency of men allowed to assume powers in what are considered desperate emergencies. Sylla, on becoming master of Home, at once adopted measures to crush hh enemies, and to con solidate the power his part-. He estab UShed military colonics throughout Italy -deprived of the full Roman franchis ! the; inhabitants of the Italian towns who had opposed his usurpation, confiscated tht':r lands, and envc them to his soldiers, and conferred citizenship upon a great number of slaves belonging to those who had proscribed him, thus creating at Rome a kind of body guard fr his protection. Aft' r having given Home over to slaughter, and tyrannized beyond al! example over those opposed to him. and the legions, his terribie instruments of wrong, Sylla could yet feel safe in laving down the ensigns of power so dreadfully abused, and in ming ling freely with the mmiiei and mends ot : his myriad victim. The fear he had 1 inspired continued after his voluntary abdication, and on retirement left his law, to a people who hnd permitted themselves to bcenslaveel. What but a subtle knowledge and conviction that the Roman people had become changed, discouraged, and utterly broken in spirit, could have mductd this daring assumption. What but public indifference to consequences so terrible, as to leave Home open to every calamity, which subsequently visited her could have testified the conclusions of the dictator and tyrant In his Startling experiments? We lind that in the time which has since elapsed, human nature and exigencies in governments have not greatly changed. Who, a few years ago, in contemplating our future, could hare supposed that in a brief period of bitter experience, everything demanded in the name of military emergency, or dictated by caprice, would have come to be considered as mere matters of course? That conscription, confiscation, loss of personal liberty, the subjection of States to military rule and disfranchisement, with the extension of the right of suffraee merely to accomplish party ends, would receive the passive submission if not acquiescence of the people of thefRepnblic It has been clearly demonstrated by recent occurrences, that encroachments upon the Con stitution cannot be prevented by the President, however devoted or determined he may be; that unless the people interpose, there is no power under the Constitution to check a dominant majority of twothirds of the Congress of the United , States An appeal to the nation is attended with too much delay to meet the emergency, while, if left free to act, the people would correct in time, such evils as might follow legislative usurpation There is danger that the same power which disregards the Constitution will deprive them of the right to change their rulers, except by revolution. We have already seen the jurisdicion of the Judiciary circumscribed, when it was apprehended that the courts would decide against the laws having for their sole object the supremacy of partv, while the veto power lodged in the Executive, by the Constitution, for the interest and protection of the people, and exercised by Washington and bis successors, has been rendered nugatory by a partisan majority of two thirds in each branch of the National Legislature. The Constitution evidently contemplated that when a bill is returned with the President's objection . it wi'l be calmly reconsidered by Congress. Such, however, has not been the practice under the present party rules. It has become evi ; dent that men who pass bills under par- , tisan influence are not likely through patri otic motives to admit their error, and thereby weaken their own organisations, by solemnly confessing it under ofheial oath. I'ride of opinion, if nothirg else, has prevented a calm and dispassionate rec mid eration of a bill disapproved by the Executive. Mach as I venerate the Constitution, it must be admitted this condition of affairs has developed a defect which, under the aggressive tendency of the Legislative Department of the Government, may readily work its overthrow. It may, however, be remedied without disturbing the harmony of the Instrument, The veto power is generally exercised , upon constitutional grounds, and, when ever it is so applied and the bill returned , with the Bxecntive's reasons for withhold Ing his signature, it ought to be iramedi- , atcly certified to the Supreme Court of the , United States for its decision If its con- , stitutional ty shall be declared by that tribunal, it should then become law, but if the decision is otherwise, it should fail, without power in Congress to re enact. , In cases where the veto" rests upon hasty and inconsiderate legislation, and in which i no constitutional question is involved, I j would not change the fundamental law, for in such cases no permanent evil can be j incorporated in the federal system. It is ; obvious that without 3uch amendment, , the Government as it existed under the Constitution, prior to the rebellion, may ; be wholly subverted and overthrown by a two-thirds majority in Congress It is not therefore difficult to tee how easily and rapidly the people may lose, shall I not say have lost; their liberties by an unchecked and uncontrolable majority in the law-ma i ing power, and wuenevcr deprived ol their rights, how powerless they are to regain euem. iei us turn ior a moment to a history ol the majority in Congress, which has acted in such utter disregard of the Constitution, while pub.ic attention has been carefully and constantly turned to the past and expiated sins of the South, and the servants of the people in high places have boldly outraged their trus-t, broken their oaths of obedience, and undermined the very foundations of liberty, justice and good government. When the rebellion was lining Stippre-sed by the volunteer services of patriotic soliiers, amid dangers oi tnebittic Ueiu, these men crept without question into place and power in the Na tional councils. After all danger had passed when no armed foe remained, when a penitent people lowered their heads to the flag and renewed their allegiance to the Government of the United HuUs, then it was that these pretended patriots appeared before the nation and began to prate about the thousands of lives and millions of treasure sacrificed in the suppression of the rebellion. They have since ntrsistentlv

r, " ., . .7 r J ation of peace and harmony, and by every means to keep open and exposed to the poisonous breath of party passion, the terrible wounds of a four years' war. They have prevented the return i peace, and the restoration of the Union in every way; rendered delusive the purposes, promises and pledg s by which the army was marshalled, and treason rebuked end rebellion crushed, and made the liberties of the people, and the rights and pow rg ol the J 'resident, objects of constant attack. They have wresiodfrom. the President lis con stituth.nal power oi laprstn command of il-,.t a,(4,y d navv They hv(

sought to inflame the prejudice engendered flict with the original design of the Conbetween the sections ; to retard the restor- stitution. This proves how necessary it

pai unci!., uy u..si:!i; suuuiuiuuic ouiccia independent of and able to defy their Chief Magistrate; they have attemp'ed to place the President under the power of a bold, defiant and treacherous Cabinet officer ; they have robbed the Executive ot the prerogative ot pardon ; Ancered null and void the acts of clemency granted to thousand of persons under the provision ot 'he Constitution, and committed cross usurpations by legislative attempts to exercise mis power in lavor ot party adherents ; they have conspired to J change the gy.-tem of our Government ' by preferring charges against the rresi- ;

to burdens wuicn aireadv weiten upon the people ; they have permitted the nation to suffer the evils of a deranged currency, to the enhancement in price of all the neoessnrkj of life; they have maintained a large standing army for the enforcement of their measures of oppression ; they have cngaced in class legislation, built and encouraged monopolies j that the few mizht be enriched at the ex pense of the many; they have failed to act upon important treaties, thereby endangering our peaceful relations with foreign powers; their course of usurpation has not been limited to inroads upon the Executive Department by in const ltutional and oppressive enactments. I he pco pie of ten States of the Union have been reduced to a connitiou more intolerable than that from which those patriots of the revolution rebelled. Millions of Aciericm citizens can now say of their oppressor?, with more truth than our fathers did of the British tyrants, that they have forbidden governments to pass laws of immediate and pressing import nn e, unless suspended until their assent should be obtained: that they have refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of uurge districts of people, unless these people would relinquish the right of representation in the Legislature a right inestimable to them and formidable to trr;ints only ; that they have made judges dependent on their will alone for their tenure of offices, and the amount and pay ment of their salaries ; that they have erect eel a multitude of new offices, and sent hither warms of ( ffi :ers to harass our people and eat out their substance; that !hey have affected to render the militay Independent of and superior to the civil power; combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; quartered large bodies of armed troops among us, and protected them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants : imposeel taxes upon us without our consent ; deprived US, in many cases, of trial by jury ; taken away our charters; exciteel insurrection among us ; abolished our most valuable laws ; altered fundamentally the forms of our Government; suspended our own Legislatures, and declared themselves invested wi'h power to legislate for us in all cases whatever. This catalogue of crimes, long as it is, is not complete. The Constitution vests the judicial power of the United States in one Supreme Court, whose jurisdiction shall extend to all cases arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States. Encouraged by this promise, a refugee from tyranny, a citi.en of the United States, who, by rider of a military commander, given under the sanction of a cruel and deliberate edict of Congress, had been denied the constitutional rights of liberty of conscience, freedom of the press and of speech; personal freedom from military arrest ; of being held to answer for crime only upon presentmn it of an indictment, er trial hy jury; of the writ of habeas eornas, arul the protection of a civil and constitutional government ; a citizen thus deeply wronged, appeal to the Supreme Cemrt for the protection guaranteed him by the organic law of the land. At once a tierce and excited majority, by the ruthless hand of legislation, stripped the ermine from the Judge, transferred the sword of Justice to the General, and remanded the oppress ed citizen te a degradation and bondage worse than d alh. It wdll also be recordeel as one of the marvels of the times, that a party claiming for itself a monopoly of consistency and patriotism, and boasting of its unlimited sway, endeavored by a costly and deliberate trial to impeach one who defended the Constitution and the Union, not only throughout the war ot the rebellion, but eluring the whole term of office, as Chief Magistrate, but at the same time conld find no warrant or means at their command to bring on the trial e ven of the chief of the rebellion. Indeed, the remarkable failures in this case were 10 often repeated, that for propriety's sake if for no other reason it became at last necessary to extend to him an unconditional pardon. What more plainly than this, illustrates the extremities of party management and engine ring on one hand, and Of faction, vindictirene?s and intolerance on the other? Patriotism will hardly be enc waged when in such a record it sees that its instant reward may be the most virulent party abuse and obloquy, if not attempted disgrace. Instead of seeking to make treason odious, it would in truth seem to have been their purpose rather to make the elefense of the Constitution anel Union a crime, and to punish fi elity to an oath of office, if counter to party dictation, by all the means at their command. Happily for the peace of the country, the war has eleterinined against the assumed power ef States to withdraw at pleasure from the Union. The institution of slavery also found its destruction in Ute rebellion, commenced in the United States in its interest. It should be borne in mind, however that the war neidier impaired nor dei stroyed the Constitution, but on th e con trary preserved its existence and made apparent Ita real power and enduring strength. All rights granted to the States or reserved to the people, are therefore intact. Among those rights is that of the people of each State to declare the epialifications of their own State electors. It is now assumed that Congress Can control this vital right, which can never be taken away from the States without impairing the fundamental principle of the Government itself. It is necessary to the distance of the States as well as to the protection of the liberties of the people ; for the tight to select the elector in whom the political power of the State shall be lodged involves the right of the State to govern itself. When deprived of this prerogative, the States will have no power worth retaining All will be gone and they will be subjects to the arbitrary will of Congress. The Government will then be centralized, if not by the passage of laws, then by the adoption through partisan in fluence, ul an amenameni airecuy in eonis, people should require the administra tion of the three great departments ot the Government to be strictly within the limits of Üu Constitution. Their boundaries have been accurately defined, and neither ahonld be allowed to troBpaSS on the other, nor.aboveall.toencroachupontlicreservcd rights of the people and the Stiit . The trouble? of the past four years will prove l tlie lia'i ui blessiiis, if they produce so th ill v -i result. Upon those who bccBwe fonng asea amid Um lonndinajoj ai:ii"t. tu.! UM din of arms, an! wl-o auieily r 'urocd to the furms. the iaeSd'fc, r.it K-jiOoU of the hna, will

principally devolve the solemn duty of

tvi ('viuauug me union 01 me cuaies, in defense of which hundreds of thousands of their comrades expired, and hundreds of millions of national obligations were incurred. A manly people will not neglect the training necessary to resist aggression, but thev should be careful that the civil be made subordinate to the military element. We need to cncviurage, in every legitimate way, a study of the Constitution for which the war was waeed. A Knowledge and reverence for those wise checks, by those so soon to occupy the places filled by their seniors, will be the only hope ol preserving the Republic mose iney relinquished tor the common weal. This sound old doctrine, far dif ferent from the teachings that led to the attempt to üectde, and a kindred theory that the States were taken out of the Union by rash acts of conspirators that happened to dwell within their borders, must be reci ived and advocated with the enthusiasm of early manhood, or the people will be ruiea oy corrupt combinations of the camraereial centers, who, plethoric from irealth, annually migiate to the capital of the nation to purchase special legislation. Until the representatives of the people in Congress more fully exhibit the diverse views and interests of the whole nation laws cente to be made without fu'l discus sion at the bebrst of some party leader, there will never be a proper respect shown by the law making power, either to the Judiciary or Executive branch of the Government. The generation just beginning to ose the ballot-box, it b believed, only need that their attention should be called to these considerations to indicate by their vote;- that they wish their representatives to observe all the restraints which the people in adopting the Constitution intended to impose on party excess. Calmly reviewing my administration of the Government, I feel that, with a sense of accountability to God, having conscientiously endeavored to discharge my whole doty, I have nothing to regret. 'Events have proved the eoriectness of the poliey set forth in my first and subsequent messages. The woes which have followed the rejection ot forbearance, magnaninimity and constitutional rule, arc known and deplored by the Nation. It is a matter of pride aud gratification, in retiring from the most exalted position In the gift of the people, to feel and know that in a long, arduous and eventful public life, my action has never been influenced by a desire for gain, and that I can in all sincerity inqe ire, Whom have I defrauded, whom have 1 oppressed, or at whose hands have I received anv bribe to blind my eyes therewith?" No responsibility for wars that have been waged or blood that has been shed, rests upon me. My thoughts have been those of peace, and no effort has ever been wanting on my part to allay contentions among my countrymen. Forgetting the past, let us return to the first principles of the Government, and unfurling the banner of our country, Inscribed noon it in imperishable characters, " the Constitution and the Union, one ami iuscpv rahle." AXDBJCW JoHKSOH. Washington, March 4, 1869. The Fortieth Congress. Tin: nunc dimittis of ih? Fortieth Congress should be the humiliating confession that it has done the things it ought not to have done, and left undone the things it ought to have done. It cdes without ever even having tried to do its duty. It h-ts specially neglected the very things which its party declared to be imperative. It tr.ok particular pains to rid itself of the obligations which its perty aasnased to be the special business of this Congress. It has done nothing to revise our system of financ or to relieve the burden of taxation. We ?ire no nearer specie payments than we were years ago. Nothing has been done to reduce the pnblic debt. The tariff has been made to farther oppress industry and commerce by the passage of the Infamous copper biil swindle; but nothing has been done to M let up" a siugle one of the onerous indirect taxes the tariff adds to the direct taxes upon the people. Even reconstrurtion is a publicly confessed failure, and there is a threat now to subject two of the lately so-called reconstructed States to a fresh tail-cutting, this time close behind the ears. All the promises made in Radical conventions and platforms, and even by thin Congress, are found to be false. There has been no actual performance for the public benefit whatever. These are a few among the many things which have not been done. What has been done is, first, a display of wholesale extravagance beyond that ( f any previous Congress; any quantit- of special legislation for party p;tä; i reckless profusion of appropriations; more Constitution tinkering for the benefit of negroes; and a general division of plunder, public and private, with the lobby. With this record the Fortieth Congress dies, and the Forty-first Congress inherits the unfinished business, the infamy, and the balance of the contingent fund in the House and Senate of its predecessor. Composed, as the new Congress is, largely of the constituent elements of the old one, it cannot be much better which would b, a serious reflection for the winde country were it not that no possible combination of circumstances can make it worse. .V. Y. World. The IVopio to Decide. The Governor of Indiana ha issued his proclamation appointing a special election tor the 88d instant, to till the vacancies in the Legislature occasioned by the resignati n of the Democratic members. Without doubt, every one of the members resigned will be returned by the people, and by a larger majority than he received before. 11ksc representative citizens, by their prompt and resolute ourseonthe negro -suffrage infamy, have shown that they are exactly the sort of men the people of Indiana most desire to represent tbem. They will return to Indianapedis, and Will cheerfully co operate with the Radical majority in passing the needful appropriation bills. But on no account will they assist or enable them to outrage the popular will of Indiana by falsely declaring that the people of that State approve of the Ethiopian amendment. If any attempt be made, or any underhand intrigue be attempted to bring forward that repugnant measure, the session will be brought to an end mite as summarily as was the pession on last Thursday. Possibly, the Jacobins will have the good sense to enter into an understanding with the Democratic members, before the opening of the extra session, by which the Ethiopian amendment shall be sent ever to the next Legislature. That is all that the Democrats want. They desire that the people shall h;ive an opportunity to vote upon this Question : and thev are firmly, unalterably resolved that the Jaco- ' bin politicians fhall n(t cheat the people oi mat right, as they have already done in Illinois, and in three or four other Mate.".

SPEAKER COLFAX'S VALEDICTORY.

In resigning the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives, on the 3d, Mr, Colfax spoke as follows : Gentlemen i The opening of the legislative day, at the close of which I mast enter upon another sphere of duty, re quires me to tende" to you this resignation oi the office which, by your kmduess and confidence, I have held, to take effect on the election of a Speaker for the brief re mainder of this session. The parting i a. i a. a a. Z which takes me from this Hall, in which so many years have been spent, excites in me emotions which it would be useless to attempt to conceal. The fourteen years, eluring which I have been associated with .1 n , , the representatives of the people here, have been full of eventfnl legislation, exciting issues, and of grave decisions, vitallv atiectme the entire Republic. All these with the accompanying scenes, which so often reproeluced in this arena of debate, the warm hoi feeling ot our antagonizing constituencies, have passed into the domain of history, and I but refer to them te express the joy which apparently is shared by the masses of our countrymen, i lhat the storm-cloud of war which has so long darkened our national horizon hs at last passed away, leaving our imperiled Union saved, and that by the decree of our people, more powerful than Presidents, Congress or armies, liberty wns proclaimed throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof. JJut I cannot leave you without one word of rejoicing over the present condition of our Republic among the nations of the earth. With our military power and almost illimitable re-' sources, exemplified by the war that developed them, with our nipi.Sly augmenting population, and the welcome at our gates of the oppressed of all other climes; with rur vst and increasing agricultural, mechanical, manufacturing and mining capacities; with our vantage on the two great oceans of the globe, and our aluuxt completed Pacific Railroad uniting these op posite shores, and becoming the great highway, the United States of America commands that respect among the powen of the world, which Insures the maintenance of all its citizens from oppression or in-' justice abroad. Nor is this all. The triumphal progress of free institutions here has had its potential influence beyond i the sea. The right of the people to : j govern based on the sacred principle of ! our revolution, that all Rovernmente de rive their just powers from the consent of the governed, is every where advancing, I not with SIOW ami measured steps, but i with a rapidity that within a few yeare j has been so signally illustrated in Great i Britain, Spain, Italy, Prussia, Hungary i and ot her lands. May we not hope that by the mora but powerful force of our example, fetters may everywhere be ' broken, and some of us may live to see I that happy era, when slavery and tyranny shall no more be known throughout the world, from the rivers to the ends of the j earth I cannot claim that in the share I t have had in the i ellberations and legislai tions of this House as a member and as an j eillcer, I have always done what was ; wisest in action or word, for none of us are infallible, but I have striven to perform faithfully every duty. But, devoted as I am, as all know, to principles that I have deemed correct, the honor and glory of our country have always been paramount above mere party ties, I can conscientiously assert. That I have sought i to mitigate rather than to intensify the as- , perities which the collisions of opposing parties so ofien eveked must be left ! to my f How members to verify. In the responsible duties of the last six years, I have endeavored to administer the ruh s you enacted lor your guidance, both in i letter and spirit, with an impartiality tin- : influenced by political antagonism; and I may be pardoned for the expression of ! gratification, that while no decision has been reversed there have been appeals sometimcfl taken, as they are by a minority as a protest against the power under ! the rules of a majority it has never l.,.r.n ,,.,.; 1, I lu . ! . ..rtir -..

A fem.ow who lias been shavetl in China Fays that the barber first stropped the razor on his leg, and then did the shaving without any lather. The customer remonstrated, but was told that lather was entirety useless, and had a tendency to make the hair stiff and tough, and was therefore never used by persons who had any knowledge of the face and its appendages. After the beard had been taken off and it was done in a very short time the barber to"k a long, sharp, needle-shaped spoon, and htgan to ex plore his customer s ears. n l.r.,nrrl.t Irom numerous nit.'e crevices nits oi wax little crevices bits of wax and dirt that had been accumulating since his childhood.

He taen fell to beating the back, breast, arms, and sides, with his fists, and pummelled the muscles until they fairly glowed with the beating they had received.

Willie's Headache. Willi b had just begun to go to school, but, strange to say, did not like it for which reason I fear he can never become President of these United Statei It was rather unfortunate, perhaps, that his first experience of scho .l ami snow fell together. Temptation came to him in the shape ot a sled, with iron runners, ami he fell an easy victim to it. So it was that about school time he became subject to an accession of headache, which made con

finement impossible, but did not at all mhour or two at home. One glorious morning, in particular, he ewe to his mother with a drefinl headache school was not to be thought of under such circumstances. l T.,rx' -..ll HrSfltAn col.
