`Jibe Security of ratieeitgera at Sea.
The. frequent recurrence of such terrible
disasters as the loss of the steamer Lady
Elgin, and the dangers uhich; in despite of all
modern improvements, attend sea voyages,
shohld prompt inventive genius to devise, and
thdowners of all Passenger vessels to adopt,
better and more effective plans for securing
lifethitri those which are now used. This is
pre-eminently an age, of travel, when . at all
times hundreds of thonsfuids of human beings
are at, the tender meicy of the , winds and
waves, not knowing at Whit instant an unfor
tunate, accident may consign them to eternity.'
While millions are spent in efforts to increase
Speed, etto adorn ships, thiire is a c'omparn
tively trifling Outlay to promote safety and to
preserve life. ,
We were shown the other day, an invention
by ; tl,, Philadelphian, of very superior mechani
cal genius, which, so far as we_ are able to
judge of its merits, would seoure the lives of
passengers against all dangers from 'collisions,
or shipwrecks, or` the foundering of vessels,
and in cases of:Are Would be a ready-made raft

a ship, what 'alife-preserver Is to'a man, and
wOuld enable it to float for, days 'upon the
ocein,,easu if the,bottont of the vessel should be
_destroyed.,, It is based upon the new idea of
inflating; almost instantaneously, with air, any
given inclotied spaCe; by gravitation instead of
other, comparatively. slow processes; and is
well deserving of the attention of all passenger
ship owpers. A, buoy of this kind upon the
steamers -Arctic or Central America would

THE PRESIDENCY.
Republican State Mass Meeting.
POLITICAL CARNIVAL AT LANCASTER.
TEN THOUSAND MUM ASSEMBLED,
BRILLIANT TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION.
Speeches by. Hon. Thaddeus Stevens,
lion. A. G. Curtin, lion. G. A. Grow,
lion. A. H. Reeder, ➢Lorton McMi
chael, Esq., and others.
The Republicans held a political carnival yes.
terday in the snug little city of Lancaster. 'We
ienttire that: since the .days when the Log
.Cabins" dotted Conestoga river, (some people
call it creek,) and the apples of Lancaster orchards
were converted into the hardest of political " Hard
Cider," a •larger body of quietly enthusiastic old
men; and boistermislY 'enthtmlastio young men,
never assembled mithin the limits of this very re
sPeotable, old, and enterprising county. , It was a
State affair, and was under the care of the Re.
'publican State Central Committee. Petitions were
printed in the newspapers, and placarded in every
county east of the mountains, summoning all the
friends of "free homes," "free speech," and
everything 'else free—of protection to American
industry," and the various other planks in the
Repnblican platform; to visit Lancaster and assist
in the mammoth demonstration of the season. The
fame were reduced, and every possible indmiettiont
was offered to the RePublieans of tho State to
unite their forces beneath the rod 'rose of Lan
caater.
Lancaster has the faculty of doing demonstra
tions in a peculiar manner. There is suob a buoy
anoy of enthusiasm and universal spirit of hospi
tality manifested by its people that the stranger
lingers as he loaves its limits to east longing looks
behind. , Perhaps , in no part of the State does po
litical feeling run less, strongly than in this metro
polis of the Conestoga. These plain men of Lan
caster look upon things in a sensible light. "A
neighbor's opinions upon Congressional interven
tion or the homestead bill are never allowed to
prejudice his personal respect or integrity. To be
of one creed is not always to bo a good man; to be
of another does not necessarily imply regality.
This may sound strange in Philadelphia—the les
son is an old one in Lancaster.
If there is any philosophy in this, the State Com
mittee prOfited by it when they east upon Lan
caster'as the State' rallying point for 1860. And
then the nitrate ! 'Who will say there is no virtue
in big type ? Was it not printed in letters large
and bold that Hannibal Hamlin, and John Sher
man, and John Coved°, and Thomas Corwin, and
Carl Schurz, and Simon Cameron, and Lyman
Trumbull, and John Hickman wore all to be pre
sent? They did not come, but there was their at
traotWe power, and what more was needed? The
multitude shouted quite as loudly as though the
engagements of the committee had been realized,
and the high men of the party stood before them.
The elements are exceedingly intractable, and
almanacs lie so. The calendar placed September
19 among the, days "clear, cool, and pleasant,"
and home the confiding committee were misled.
It rained'. Rain must love Republicanism. There
was rain on the fait Philadelphia ratification meet
ing; rain on the late Saturday-night lantern dis
play; rain at Chadd's Ford, and rain at Lancas
ter. - Mr: McClure should look to his almanaos, for
if some people do believe In Abe Linooln, they do
not believe in•getting wet, and this singular sue
cession of coincidences may lead to sed suspicions.
Superstition is a near relatiie of Politics. '
There were heavy clouds all over the sky yester
day morning, as the train left the city laden with
dreary and disconsolate 'politicians. ' The enthusi
asm Was :as meagre as at the Breekinridge and
Lane meet logs, and any office-holder will explain
how they are. A hopeful young man in a front
seat—he was every young man, and wore an 44 In;
vinoible" cape—said he saw a patch of hluenee'r
the horizon. Another very young man, With 'an
" Invincible" cape, replied something about olonde
with silver linings, Abe Lineoba, and a clear sky,
at which a number of other very young men, in
4 . 4 Invincible" capes, said " capital," and subsided
Into a_diemal contemplation of the weather.
As we steamed along through the fruitful val
leys of beautiful Chester, the water prospect con
tinued. There were no.cheers, and whisky was
absent. - The latter statement may appear im
probable, but we have it On the authority of one of
the Sunday paper reporters that there was not a
flask. board. The main body of the excur
eionista seemed, to be engaged in gazing at the
sky, speculating upon the coneletem* of Lancaster
mud, and looking at their boots, We always ad
mired the condition of the 4 4 Invineibles' " boots,

late young mon in the canary-colored capes. Lan
caster girls are very particular, praetising neatnese
and preaching it, and what would they they think
of a company of young Philadelptsiaps in dirty
boots? Thqbought was terrible, and In terror
we all again looked at the sky and preyed for
sunshine.
At every little town, borough, and village The
train stopped end took on companies of "-Wide
;Awakes," in uniform. There were quite a num•
ber of delegations from Lionville, Eagle, Downing
town, Ootorara, Coatesville, Penningtonville, Streik
hurg, Parkeeburg, and the other points along the
road. The rain was all ,the while gently felling.
As each company 'entered, its members were
warmly greeted , by, the Philadelphians; but, after
the congratulations bad been exchanged, the new
comers joined the city men in their sadness, and
seemed to be fully es.anaioue about the' state of
the weather, and -its probable effieet upon their
boots. How much trouble may be 000astoned by
en unreliable almanac!
• Lancaster in sight, and the rain le over! The
young men bays no time to felicitate themselves,
for the train is actually ender over of the depot,

throng, and under a warm, genial, baltelouded
sky, the • various delegations debark and die

of our boots, for .the rain is over, aid Lancaster

Tble is enough to sot the matter at rest. But
alas how can any refutation of a paper so widely

(and whack, before 1 . 43 publication by Brother

bad, and should be refuted ; deliberate calumny is

THE SPIRITUALISTS AT SARSOIf-STREET
UALL—LECTUSS BY DR. JOHN PlElRPONT.—San
som•atreet Dail contained about one hundred per
sons last evening, assembled to hear Dr. John Pier
pont dismiss the tmprebalalities of spiritualism.
The character of the man rather than tho subject
indneekna to attend, and, for the curiosity of the
renders of The Press, to transcribe an abstract of
his remarks.
Dr. John Pierpont was born at Litchfield, Con
necticut, in April 1785. His great grandfather was
the second minister of New Haven, and a founder
of Yale College. From that Institution Mr. Pier
pont graduated in 1804. For the ensuing four
years he was a private tutor in the South. In 1812
he was admitted to the bar In Essex county, Mas
saohnsetts, and in 1813 published his first volume
of poems, entitled portraits. He next tried mer
cantile business, but met with reverses, and in 1819
Wee ordained minister or a Unitarian ohnob. He
had previously published his beautiful poem, the
Airs of Patemns.. which gave him a wide
reputation. The years 1835 and 1831 were passed
abroad by Mr Pierpont. He travelled both In
Europe and In Alia. Ile has since been pastor of
Unitarian churches In Troy, N. Y., and in N ew
Bedford.
Four years ago he resigned his charge at New
Bedford and commenced to give lectures upon
spiritualism. He made one address in this city a
year ago, which was not largely attended. He Lee
been in this city since Sunday, and will give die
courses on next Sunday.
Dr. Pierpont hag long been an ardent anti
slavery and temperance advocate. He hoe, since
his conversion to spiritualism. been quite as zealous
Ia his new calling. He is still of tali, command
ing form—standing, we suppose, six feat two or
three, straight as in early manhood, though now
seventy.ilve years old. His hair, thin and white,
curls over a line forehead and a handsome, square
ly-knit face. His eye is light and quick, but at
times dreamy and looking afar oft. He worn, last
evening, a suit of bleak atoll' and a white stook.
Ills oratory was persuasive and pleasant, but not
brilliant, and of doubtful logic. He reasons almost
entirely by analogy, and sometimes in a strain of
simplicity which it would be irreverent to call ri
diculous. He is not demonstrative. His gestures
are few and moderate. His eight is imperfect.
The people of the hall were of a most respecta
ble appearance, two-thirds of them being females.
some were young and handsome, but there was a
large element, male and female, of grotesque oottn•
tenanoe and habiliMent. We noticed that many
wore very long,' straight hair, and were of blood
less, spirituelle appearance.
The Benson:l-street Society Is composed of ten In
dividuals. It has been In existence seven years.
The platform is open to all debaters and advocates
Oa Sunday*, thelandienee comprises from three
hundred to eight hundred men. We are told that
the organ* of spiritualism have a sale of 20,000
copies in Philadelphia. These are the Horeb of
Truth. and More Lsghi. They ware for sale at
the door last evening.
The following Is a summary of the Doctor's re
marks :
EASTON, Sept. 18
The human spirit, after leaving the body, does
cianifest its presence with us. Death is an inci
dent that has no destructive power over the spirit ;
(or the soul is immortal. If it can be proved, that
death leaves the spirit intuit, the immortal cha
racter of the soul will be definitely settled. The
common mind regards this assumption as impro
bable.
Doetor Plernent then proceeded to review the
alleged improbabilzhes. Common!cation between
the two worlds had atways been desired, and all
legitimate desires would at the same time be gra
tified.
It was said that this lntsr•cnmmanlsation bad
never happened, and that the present age bas done
nothing to warrant it. Neither, ealdtthe Doctor,
had the age in which Christ came done anything
meritorious. The Gospel bad not given so mush
light that no more light wee required. God knew
when to give light to the world—the light of sot—
moral science.
It had not been always a safe °Sae to bring ligh
to the world. Socrates bad to think the poison
And Christ to bear the Cross.
The Scriptures proved that intemommunioa
tion had been granted to prophets.
The second objection was that spiritualism had
been given to the world by a few old women of
ltoehester. This objection was not unlike that of
the Jews, when they asked, Can any good come
out of Named/IV' The light of the Gospel came
through a woman.
The female, mild, pure, and good, and patient,
'was best fitted to give light. Ae sin came into the
world through woman, should'not light so come?
The media through whioh light came was of se
condary value compared to the light itself.
The Doctor proceeded in a random manner to
eulogise women.
A third objection was, the immoral tendencies of
spiritualism. Dr. Pierpont did not admit the fact.
If there wore immoral spiritualists, they were so In
spite of spiritualism. Immorality is sensual; the
more spiritual, the leas sensual. There wore free
lovers, perhaps, but not so beoauee of spiritualism.
When one felt that the spirit of his mother was
ever with him, would he be more licentious
Another °Weeder) eoneidered way the tendency
of, the investigation into apiritneltem to make men
and women Immo- The Doctor mentioned that hie
only glitter lied lately MO in • lunatic asylum.
driven thither by rchgtousenthuslasot,sed inferred
that suob well no reason why religion drove men
fume.
It was Mac paid that spiritualism rejected the
Bible, which was not so. Dr. Pierpeat's personal
tettimony was the reverse. During the forty
years of his public Christian ministry, he had
doubted some facts of Scripture. The case of the
Witch of Endor was merely the common case of a
seeing medium.
The Doctor here related a singular ease of a lady
who, attending his lecture in Sancom•etreet Bali,
last Sunday night, had seen Dr. Charming stand.
ing beside him. The Doctor said that he had
since seen Dr. Chinning himself several times,
and the Doctor had influenced him in speaking
sines his arrival in Philadelphia.
There WSJ a manifest sensation here. Our re.
porter felt very queer, but did not see Dr. Chan.
ninz.
Mr. Pierpont also related the case of an atheist
who had become a Christian by first being con
verted to spiritualism.
The lecturer here went into a dissertation upon
the etymology of the word skeptio, the literal moan
ing of which was a careful examiner. Rome, all
rational men were skeptics. Vie were also informed
that a vision and a sispise wore the same in
moaning.
The conflicting testimony of the spirits was also
an objection to spiritualism. Bat it was not nixes
eery that all spirits should speak truth ; for, as in
this world men were [llse and true, to spirits were
true and false. Neither were all spirits equally
illumined in the spirit mysteries. There was also
great diversity in the communicating powers of
media.
The Dec tor read a long extract from a newspa
per, to show that men did not agree in regard to
the state of the mines at Pike's Peak, and inferred
that different souls would not give the same re•
port of the other world. lie then said that souls
that were filthy would be filthy still.
At this point he concluded, postponing the sub
ject till Sunday.

The handing Wee twenty feet wide, by eighty-fire
in depth, and had been erected in a very sulnittn tint
manner. It wee three Modes in height. The
lames originated near the distilling apparatus, on
the first floor, and owing to the eombustible nature
of the contents, fairly shot through the entire
etruoture.
The building wee owned and occupied by Mr.
Edward Evans. It wee used for distilling vinegar,
camphene, horning fluid, ko. In the lower Virg
was the machinery, tuba ' ko
, valued at some
$lO,OOO. This Wee *bloat entirely ruined.
Evans has an insurinon upon the machinery, bat
not to a sufficient amount to carer his toes. •
the stook was principally in the upper stories,
and was valued at $2,500. This ie fully injured.
The fire burned stubbornly for over an hour.
The firemen were_ upon the ground in large unnv
bare, and an immense quantity of water was
thrown into the building, but it seemed to have
little or no effect upon the flames. The structure
was completely gutted, and a portion of the roof
was burned off. The building wes valued at
$O,OOO, and it insured fur a sufficient amount to
cover the damage. The insurance is in the Royal
and Spring Garden Insurance ROmPanies•
Mr. Even. had his office front on .St. John
street, in a two and a half story building. The
flames did not reach this, being confined to the
house in which they originated. The latter wag
surrounded by courts, and the occupants of the
dwellings were considerably alarmed. Their
houses escaped, however, as the burning structure
stood aloof from them, and was higher.
The total loss will probably reach some $15,000
or $lB,OOO, which is partially injured
The fire interfered materially with the running
of several of the passenger railways, and the ears
on the Second and Third, Richmond, and Race
and VineMreet lines were blocked up for about
two hours. Some of the Race and Vine.street ears
were run off at Arab street.
- .
The fire broke oat again shortly before eleven
o'olook, and it was found necessary to ring the
State-House bell fer a eraond alarm. The llamas
this time were in the cellar among the vats and
burned very stubbornly for two hours before they
could be mastered. The fire was still confined to
the one building.
BODE TRADE SALE at Messrs. MOM%
tt Sons' Rooms, in Fourth street, was well attended
yesterday. Most of the morning was occupied by
the Derby A Jackson invoice, which consists of
novels, histories, biographies, tutored classics,-holL
day books, British 012.1181C8, Frenoh clanks, and
ancient classics. Next came G. P. Putnam. agent,
of New York. In Introducing this sale, Mr. Put
nam said that a few remarks from himself seemed
called for, la explanation of the terms of sale. Es
was before them simply as an agent of the owners
of the worke. This, also, would account for his
not having been able to distribute the Hue sets of
Irving'e works now before them more readily.
Be bed in his day handed over as much as $100,060
to Mr. Irving and his family; but unfortunately
had realized no fortune himself. If he should
ever become disentangled from pecuniary difficul
ties, he might let them have these works at their
own terms. (Applause ) The sale of the Sunny
side editions of Irving's works now began. The
highest price, (full morocco extra,) an exquisite
book, of which the trade price for the twenty-one
volumes is $6B, brought $1 87i (per volume. In
the afternoon the invoice of Townsend & Co,New
York, was sold, consistingof their newand spl endid
edition of Cooper, and a few new novels. Messrs
Butler had a large stook to dispense of, which
brought handsome prices.
