THE UNITY OF WINGS UPON PRlNCI-
-... PIES

The difference between the Wings and their
opponents is that the former have a platform
of principles upon which they stand in solid
phalanx united, harmonious, and firm, while the
latter are united in nothing but common name,
that Of Democrats; but democrat at the North
and one at the South have very different, conflict
ing, and rreconcileable notions in regard to mea-
sures. In Pennsylvania and other Northern
States for instance, protection is Democratic
principle, whereas, at the South, the Democrats
hold it to be rank heresy and Federalism. A
Southern Democrat, speaking to those of the
North, would run counter to their ideas of Demo
cratic principles, and vice versa but Wing prn-
ciples are the same in every section Of the land,
and Wings from the South can speak their own
sentiments at the North and find them accordant
with those Of their brethren whom they address ;
witness the remarks of Mr.. Tombs, of Georgia.
at the ratification meeting in New York:
Mr.. Calhoun Colonel ToMBs said) has qualified
his opposition 10 Protective Tariff by partial
exemption of sugar, because it is the product Of
slave labor Now, say, and make the deca-
ration fearlessly that if any labor is protected,
as of right it should be, it is the labor of ireemen
[Cheers. 1t is the labor of The hardy mechanic,
and plain workman, in what he manufactures for
home consumption In behalf of the Wings of
Georgia in behalf of the honor OF Georgia, Iprotest
against any such discrimination between the free.
men and the slave. The Whigs of the South want
no such partial protection as Mr.. Calhoun offers,
bu; protection for all classes of labor and home
industry. [Cheers. The Wigs of Georgia pro-
test, too against all these efforts to prejudice the
South aJainef tho North or tho North AGAINST tho
South They have common interest, all see
now, as well as common history. The blood
that was mingled at Yorktown and at Eutaw, can
not be kept at enmity forever and the time has
come when the Wing of Bunker Hill is the same
as Wing in Georgia. Great cheering.l
Mr. lomos then went on to take survey of
what Democratic principles we're. In Pennsyl-
wanna, Democracy was good Protective Tariff.
In South Carolina, that was downright Federal
ism-for, with Democracy, every thing was Fed
eralism Democracy did not like. Many of the
Democracy he saw, too, in New York would as
Mr.. Calhoun did with the sugar, forego their
Democracy, and turn Federalists, in the matter

OBITUARY.

DIEp, yesterday, in the House of Representa-
tives about four o'clock, the offspring of the ma
jority of the Committee of Ways and Means,
commonly known by the name of The BRIT
IsH' TARIFF BILL" after sickly existence
of some two months, during which time it strug-
gled hard to live, and was nursed with tender
care and anxious assidui'y by its affectonate pro-
genitors, who witnessed its fate with poignant
sorrow and deep affection 1t died for the want
of sustenance, and was laid on the table, poor
little thing; and, notwithstanding it was lifeless,
such was the attachment of its parents, they could
not endure the sight, and made desperate but
vain effort to raise and resuscitate it. The truth
is, it has scarcely been alive since its birth, and
may almost be said to have "ded bornn.'"

article of our medical creed to recommend adver-
tised medicines for are opposed to them consci-
entiousy and professionally; but we feel bound to
deviate from this rule and recommend to the suffer-
ing the article at the head of this notice. The great
medical virtues Of Sarsapara are well known and
appreciated by Physicians, but the uncertainty of the
strength of the different preparations Of the root,
some being almost inert, has caused the medicine to
fall into disrepute. The Messrs. Sands, it would
seem, have succeeded in obtaining powerful and
uniform preparation of it. We have seen an album
dance of testimonials to its efficacy from the highest
authority, and recommend it with pleasure

q the Protection, whah il VAS their interest I'D

Totnbs,) there is no doubt about what Wing prin-
clples are. Even the Locofocos admit, now, that
we speak out plain, so plain they can't help UNDER
standing Every body in this election is to hear
SO often, and so loud what we want, that when
the day is won, we can't be told we kept in the
dark. The principles of Democracy, however,
are not only discordant in the different States but
OF very negative character wherever they have
any principles at all. They are anti-Bank, anti
Distribution, anti Tarif-a string Of aunties

Mr.. Van Buren,, | have been sorry to see, (con-
tInned Mr. Tombs,) quarres with our jokes more
than he does with our principles. Our log cabins
and our coons and coon skins trouble him great
deal more, it seems, than the alarming principles,
we are told, we profess. Now man, as it APP
pears to me, must be in very i'll temper, when he
quarrels with another mans jokes. W. can put

Tie CHAIR laid before the Senate a memo
rial from Mr. Sweetwater who represents that

line was run, that he was in Texas. He now
wishes to get his slaves into this country again.
The Chair suggested a reference to the Commit
tee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. BAGBY said lie knew the gentleman, and
had received letter from him recently on the
same subject He was formerly member of the
Alabama Legislature. Mr.. B. hoped the Com
mitee would give early attention to his case.
Mr.. SEWER said there were numerous cases
of this sort, and he had received several petitions
himself Miller and part of Lafayette counties
had always been considered as belonging to Ar
kasas; he had practiced law in both Of them.
He had hoped, however, ard still hoped, that be-
fore the session closed these cases would be bet
ter provided for than by bill-by the admission
of Texas into the Unen.
Mr.. PHELPS, from the Committee on Patents,
reported a joint resolution 10 authorize Charles
nj. Keller, Examiner Of Patents, to take out let
tiers patent.
Mr.. HUNTINGTON, from the Committee on

Mr.. CRITTENDEN, from the Committee on
Military Affairs, reported that the committee had
maturey considered the House bill for regu-
ating the pay of the army, and directed him to
recommend it's indefinite postponement.
Mr.. EVANS hoped this report would have
early consideration, as the army appropriation bill
depended upon it.
The bills already ordered to be engrossed were
read third time and passed.
On that for paying the I'd regiment of Vermont
militia Mr.. HAYWOOD demanded the yeas and

Mr.. HUGER submitted resolution, which
was adopted, that the Committee on Public
Buildings consider the expectancy Of removing
the naval monument in front of the Capitol to
the navy yard, and replacing it with Greenough's
statue of Washington.
MIR. MILLER was extremely DESTROYS Of pro-
ceedng with the unfinished business, (the Dis
trict banks,) and suggested that the House would
probably dispose of the tariff bill to day. and de-
vote tomorrow to the consideration of District
affairs therefore it was desirable to despatch this
bill.
Mr.. BENTON, however, moved to 90 into
Executive session
Mr.. MILLER demanded the yeas and nays,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr.. IIAMLIN introduced his colleague, Mr..
CARY, of Maine, who was qualified andt took his
seat
I'VE Inadvertently omitted to mention that Mr..
Bayly chr. Wises successor) took his seat the
other day.
The SPEAKER laid before the House the let
ter of resignation of Hon. D. Fl. LEWIS. The
vacancy caused hereby in the Committee of
Ways and Means was ordered to be filed, as
were, also, those in the Military Committee, oc-
casoned by the de 18th of Messrs. Moore and
Brnkerhotf.
The Senate bills on the Speakers desk were
read twice and appropriately referred.
The SPEAKER then laid several Executive
communications before the House, from the Trea.
sury, War, Navy, and p Q. Department.
BRITISH TARIFF BILL.
This bill was taken up, and Mr. MCKAY, who
was entitled to the floor, yielded his priority TO
Mr.. BARNARD, who addressed the House for
an hour.
Mr.. b. examined the bill critically, and parlic-
ularyarefused, by an appeal to facts. the prin-
cipIe assumed that the revenue would be increas-
ed by reduction of duties. He showed, by re-
ference to the published data, that the importa-
items, instead of increasing, had enormously fallen
off in most of the articles when the duties were
lowest, and that the amount of duty made really
no difference in the amount of mportatons
Mr. Mckay followed in a labored defence of
his bill and report which bad been so long assail-
ed from all quarters, and, now and then, received
kick or cuff from member of his own party.
1t was understood that the debate was to end with
the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, although SEVERAL on both sides, were de-
srous OF addressing the House. Mr.. Mex. ven
tured upon one bold assertion, in the course of his
remarks, which was, that if the Compromise Act
were revived, it would produce more revenue than
the existing tariff.
When Mr.. NICK. had finished, the previous
question was moved and seconded, and the House
then went to voting pell nell.
The yeas and nays were then taken on order
ing a call of the House, which was done, and BOB
members answered to their names Further pro-
ceedlngs in the call were dispensed with
Mr.. ELMER, of N j., then moved to lay the
bill on the fable!
Mr.. HARDIN wished to know if this was TO
be considered test vote, and the cry was "yes,
yes"
The yeas and nays were taken on the motion
ton made Of the British tariff bill-by vote
of ayes 1O5 noes 80.
Mr.. IRWIN, of Pa, moved reconsideration
Mr.. McCLERNAND, of ILL.,, moved (atqusrter
past two) an Adjournment, and the yeas and nays
were called and were ayes IT, noes l26.
At this moment the welcome face Of Mr.
GOGGIN was seen in the Hall, and he was i'm
mediately presented to be sworn in, by his COL
league Mr.. Summers
Mr.. PAYNE, of Ala, asked if it would be in
order to move postponemeDt OF the question of
reconsideration until tomorrow!

Most people know that skins and hides are convert

When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out, leather becomes dead hard dry brittle cracked,
covered with crust, &c. THIS ALL KNow To re-
store, then, life, softness, mostness strength smooth

trates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily witt, the

and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
