Yirginia would do neither the one nor the
other al the bidding Of Mr.. Van Buren,
but Mr.. Van Buren, had gond reason 10
think, that the same men WIN Arf, so rea

"a ns,u Diaeorered Staple of Commerce.

Mr.. Joseph Giles, an ingenious Tanner of
this country, has discovered and reduced 10
practice a method of obtaining liquid ex-
trace from oak or hemlock bark, saturated
with the tanning principle, To so high de-
gree. that calf skins immersed therein will be
thoroughly and fairly tanned in 48 hours, and
other hides in time equally short in proportion
To their thickness. One hogshead Of Mr..
Giles extract contains the certain tanning
power OF four cords of Bark. There is no
foreign substance used by Mr.. Giles in his tx.
tract, nothing but the pure tanning lixivium
drawn by an ingenious and peculiar process
from the bark. MIR. Giles has secured te
himself the exclusive right to his discovery,
