lrived by Mr. ]. II. Pennington. The commi tee
were at loss to conceive why il had been re-

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The journal having been read the House
passed at once to the consideration of the morn
ing hour busness-the rules and orders
Mr.. A. JOHNSON, of Tenn, began by re-
marking upon the antiquity of the lnstltutloF Of
slavery it had existed, in some form, IN all
ages and in every portion Of the world. The
people had right to petition, and right to call
on their servants to present their petitions, but
he denied that the 21st Rule was any infringe
ment of this right, inasmuch as, under this rule,
each member could state verbally the substance
of any petition. He thought the power of legis-
lation commenced just when petition was re-
ceived. Congress had right to exercise dis
cretionary power on the subject, and the petit
toners case was properly considered when a
memorial was presented. fla petition could be
rejected because it was couched in disrespectful
language, it could be rejected Tor any other cause.
Congress had no more power to abolish slavery
in the District Of Columbia than in the State Of
Massachusetts. If the Massachusetts resolu-
tions to amend the Constitution were adopted,
Southern men would leave this floor eleven
States would be driven from the Uuion, and
ninely-one members from the House OF Repre-
sentatves. He believed there was deliberate
design here 10 dissolve the Union. He COM
mented with some severity upon the conduct Of
Mr.. Adams, and the ex-president was charged
with being hostile TO the Union.
Several members rose to participate in this de-
bate; the successful gentleman was Mr.. Nc
CAUSLEN, of Ohio. The morning hour, how
ever, was up, and
Mr.. MCKAY moved that the House go into
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, to take up the Indian appropriation bill;
the motion did not prevail.
A resolution was adopted that the Speaker
should adjourn the House al two o'clock. The
object was to allow members to attend the funeral
of Mrs. Reding, wife of Mr.. R. Of N. H. 8fs
A motion was offered to take up the navy
transfer bill, but it was not agreed TO.
Mr.. G. JOHNSON moved that the House
should receive reports from standing committees
until two o'clock, which motion prevailed.
A large number Of private bills were submitted
up to the hour Of two when the Speaker adjourn
ed the House.

OIL OF TANNIN,

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides convert
ed into leather by the Of Tannn extracted from
certain banks, SC.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out leather becomes dead hard dry brittle, cracked
covered with crust, &c. THIS KNOW. To re-
Etorc then life, softness moistness, strength smooth
ness and ramove all crust fly, or blisterrestore the
annin This substance the leather never can receive
the second time but the whole virtues Of it ave in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
rates the stes and hardest leather, if it has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it mparts at strength that is utterly
Incredible until seen. II becomes like new leather,
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish,
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
pervious to particularly boots, shoes, CARR
tops harness. hose trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish, high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns, ride with old carragc-tops-have old harness,
and throw them away half used-ook filthy them
selves and all about them-expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to hor hearts con-
