Delivered at a Ratification Meeting in Philadelphia, on the 18th of March. Much accustomed, as I have boon, for a great many years, to address publio as semblages of this sort, jet I never felt so much reluctance to do so as I do to night. Not because I don't feel in cotr-tnon with every well-wisher of this great State, the tremulous anxiety as to the result, but be cause I ana totally incapaciated in con sequence of illness, and I would not have been here to-night, but I told my friend that if I was able to be carried to the cars I would come. Applause. If I have any strength I wish to cake a few observations. Mr. Corwin remarked that the orator who had preceded him had spoken so el oquently and well that there wsf but lit tle left for him to do. After playfully referring to tbe fact that Col. Curtin had spoken of htoi as an "old gentleman," went on to speak of the slave question and its influence upon the politics of tbe country. After an allusion to the Le coropton iniquity, he went into a discus sion of the American system of Henry Clay, and urged at length the necessity for adopting tbe principles of the great Kcntuckian After the war of 1312. protection was deemed essential to the well-being of the country, and the first tariff was introduced in Congress by John G. Calhoun. Subsequently the South became persuaded that the interest of tbe two sections were antagonistic, and oppo sition to "the prineiple3 of protec?ion was tbe result. Mr. Corwin poke at consid erable length upGn this: subject, and urged that protection to American industry was ths interest of the people of all parts of the country. Mr. Corwin drew a whimsical picture of tbe contrast between Gen. Jackson and Jame Buchanan. The latter at tempted to force the Lccompton Constitu tion through, for fear Alabama would go out of the Union I When South Caroli na raised the banner of revolt, Gen Jack son fcaid "he would blow them into eter nity." (Laughter.,) Governor Corwin went fully into the history of legislation on the subject of the tariff. In 1844,the cry of the Democracy was "Polk, Dallas, and the tariff of 1842." Mr. Polk was elected under this banner, and when Mr. Dallas gave bit famous casting vote in tbe Senate, and was blandly giving his reasons for so doing, Gen. Cameron, who was in tho gallery of the Senate, hung conspicuously up one of the old elt-ction-eering placards, which bore the old mot to, "Polk, Dallas, and tbe Tariff of '42." (Laughter.) Mr. Corwin continued for some time in this strain, and be did not spare Pennsylania, which like the apos tle's definition of charity, "bopeth all things, believt-th all things." Laughter. The idea of a Whig voting the Demo cratic ticket, passed the undcrfctandmg of the speaker. He bad himself heard Hen ry Clay say in the Senate Chamber, a ,yoar or two bifor his death, that no earthly power could induce him to go for tbe extension of slavery into any territo ry where it did not already exist. The Republican party simply hold the same doctrine, and for tbistbey are uow denoun ced by some men who claim to be Old Line Whigs; and believers in Henry Clay. fLauhter. You hear a great deal said about the question of slavery. Young men will be lieve that this contest, about which so much is said, began tn 1854. Yet it be gan, and culminated, and was determined many long years ago. And it was brought about by the efforts of -a great man, now, unhappily, no more amongst us, to givo OS bis counsels be introduced into this 'country what is called tho American sys tem." And when you look back at that system, it was just this: Enlarge by all 'means the labor of our country, and im prove tho interior trade, and furnish a currency which shall be tho same thing at eaob end of tho country. Many a long year ago do I remember to bave looked tit that American system, and to this hour if an American statesman will look over this one-tenth portion of the globe, which we comprehend within our territo rial limits, he will say that system shall be the beau ideal of every American citi zen. What have you of Pennsylvania dono towards maintaining that system ! You will remember that you of Pennsylvania more than any others advanced this doc trine of protection to American industry. Yo had got it in 1816. You saw its advantages, and- the light by which you sow it was for tbe South. After the war of 1812 had closed, and we were one party, what then was done ? The tariff of protection was introduced and passed because we had not been divi ded iii to parties. Tbe people of tbe South have peculiar views on the subject of tho tariff. They believe that io proportion as you protect the free labor of the North you interfere with tbe value of tho labor in the South. Mr. Corwin spoke approvingly of the Homestead Bill. He drew a humorous contrast between the condition of a sec tion of land covered with negro slaves, and the same district populated by freo white settlors. Mr. Corwin continued at length in advooaoy of the principles of the Republican party, and protested that as an old Whig, hi conscience prompted him to cspouc i tE cause. Tho speaker concluded with nu eloquent appeal to the People's party not to suffer defeat in the coming Municipal and State struggles; victory would be followed by tbe most glorious results in the national contest. Defeat would be attended with the mot disastrous consequences. He hoped that Pennsylvania woulJ not repeat the blun ders she had made on former occasions; and he appealed to his hearers not to be guilty of a mistake which would be atten ded with effects go disastrous to the wel fare of the nation and the cause of-human freedom. oud applause. ! The following resolutions were offered and adopted: , The members of the People's party of' Philadelphia in town meeting assembled, co heartily and unanimously resolve as follows : 1. We cordially approve of tbe plat form and proceedings of the People's State Convention, at Harrisburg. The' platform is a well considered frank, and lucid expressions of those benign, just' and broadly national principles wbiob are ; cherished by the Pennsylvania Opposi-j tion, as well because they are necessary , to the exigencies of the present time, ss because they were common alike to the, old-fashioned Democracy of Jefferson and i Jackson, and the old-fashioned Wbigism of Clay and Webster. 2. It is hardly necessary for us to reit erate our udelity to the Protection of A mericau Industry. Our opponents, them selves, dare not in Pennsylvania, dissent from that policy which multiplies home markets and ho cue exchanges, stimulates every domestic art and enterprise, and j blesses, not Pennsylvania alone, but eve- ry State of our Confederacy. I 3. We approve of the new tariff bill, lately reported to the Hous of Repre sentatives at Washington by tho Commit tee of Ways and Means; we rejoice that tbe Opposition stand by it in solid column and it is a significant expose of tho hy pocrisy of the faint tariff professions re cently put forth by the Democratic State Convention at Reading, that nearly all the Democratio members of the House voted against the consideration of that bill. 4. We take this occasion to express our inflexible determination to fraternise with no organization, and to accept do candi date for any office, however exalted, un less irrevocably pledged to that wise and national system of protected American J Indu-try which is the traditional and fa j vorite policy of the Keyston State. J 5. We congratulate the House of Rep ! resentatives at Washington upon their : prompt passage of the House-tead Bill. j We regard this measure as particularly . adapted to the spirit of this age, the genius of our institutions, and the wants of the working man. It saves our va-t and fertile . territories from the graspof the speculator, provides free homes for many successive generations of tho son of misfortune and toil, and insures tbe splendid prosperity 1 of those new States which shall peaceful ly extend over all this Continent, the range of our arched Empire. 6. Wo repel ith proud indignation tbe false and wanton calumny that we lack demotion to the Union of tbe States, or to tbe constitutional right of our Southern fellow citizens. While tho lea ders of the so-called Democratic party bave been and are vociferous and insult ing in their threats of disunion, and their appeal to weak-kueed terrors in case they should be driven from power, we de fy tbe most lynxed-eyed malignity to de tect any act or word of any member of our party, which does not breathe pro found respect for vested Southern rights, and undying love for our indissoluble Union. 7. We distinctly and emphatically de clare, that while we prefer the sytem of lal or which obtains in our own State of Pennsylvania, "we do not seek to force or even to intrude our system" upon those Southern States which prefer different in stitutions. "W aro excluded, justly, wisely, and contentedly from all political power and responsibility in those States.' Tbey are to all intents and purposes, sov ereign on the subject of slavery within their own borders; and all such attempts as those of John Brown, and bis misgui ded confederates, should be sternly de nounced, and oondignly punished. 8. Tbe slavery agitation, which, for sev eral years past, bave distraoted our com mon country, have been produced mainly by the mischievous demagoguos who rule the sham Democratic party; and who, to maintain themselves in place, forfeited the pledges of 1850 and 1852, and raised again the lulled storms by their wanton re peal of tbe Missouri Compromise, their barbarous outrage in Kansas, and their infamous Lecompton Constitution. 9. These same demagogues bave onee again forfeited their pledges of peace by by repudiating their "popular sover eignty" doctrine of 1856, and by precipi tating upon tbe country the now fancied and aion-trous heresy that tho Constitu tion so fastens slavery upon every Terri tory, that the local Legislature cannot re sist or prohibit it. a heresy condemned by the constant current of judicial precedents intensely sectional in its spirit aud aim, and insolently aggressive upon the dear rights and just claims of free labor. 10. We enter upon the approaching Municipal, State and National campaigns with confidcuco and determination, assur sured that our peaceful, practical and na tional principles will commandja largo ma jority of our fellow-citizens; and we in tend to see to it, that no frauds upon the elective franchise, no naturalization for geries, no corrupt counting, or stuffing of the ballot-boxes shall again suppress tbe free utterance of a free peopled will. 11. Wo hail with enthusiasm the nom ination of Hon. Andrew G. Curtin for Governor. His talent", bis information and experience, his familiarity with all our Pennsylvania interests, bis personal probity and energy, his life-long fidelity to conservative principles, amply qualify him for the Chief Magistracy of our Com monwealth We will march under his brave, active and eloquent lead to a third certain and decisive victory, wbiob shall harbinger a splendid National triumph next November. We approve of the judieiouB a'nd concil iatory action of our late State Conven tion, in relation to the Presidential ques tion; and if the Chicago Convention shall nominate for tbe Presidency our eminent fellow-citizen. Gen. Simon Cameron, we pledge him the vote of this City and this State, and we are convinced that in tho Presidential Chair he would administer the Government with striking practical ability and unflinching fidelity to the in terests of American labor, Aerican free dom and the American Union.

It was about fifty years ago that experiments were made tending to replace tho salpeter of gunpowder by chlorate of potassa; but the danger at tending the preparation of the mixture, and tbe number of accidents resulting from tho so-called muriatio powder pre vented its adoption. When chlorate of potassa is mixed with sugar, starch and sulphuretcd metals, such as vermillion, crude antimony, and others, on being touohed with oil of vitrol tbe "mixture will burn up immediately. Parkes, in the 3d edition of bis "Chemical Catechism" (1808) speaks of this mixture as a means to light a fire with. Not long after, this suggestion was made use of by covering tbe common sulphur matohes (wbiob the ; next generation will bavo to bunt for in remoto corners of the globe) with a mix ture of ohlorato of potassa and sugar. Thus prepared the matches were lighted by being dipped in a little bottle contain ing asbestos moistened with oil of vitrol. j the oocasion of great rejoicing, while the The chloric mixture being lighted by con- ! birth of a female child was hardly notio taot with the sulphuric acid set fire to ! ed. The mother of fivo or six cirls was the sulphur and this again to the wood. According to Warren do la Rue this is a French invention, which is not unlikely, the manufacture on this principale upon a largo scale was first carried on in Tue- bingen, a university town in Wirtemberg. Tho mixture used in this place was com- posed of chlorate of potassa, sulphur, gum orabio and vermillion, the latter merely as coloring. The chemical matches cer- tainly answered the purpose of rapidly furnishing firo aud light, but carried with them various disadvantages. In tho mo- ment of being lit they diffuse a very dis- agreeable smell; at times a portion of the combustible mass and the oil of vitriol was thrown about in consequence of tbe rapid ignition; and the oil of vitriol, ow- ing to its peculiarity of condensing mois- ture from the air, when the bottle was not securely stopped, became weaker and lost its lightning property. Nevertheless these machines caiue very largely into use. Up to the year 1832 no other kind was known, although di?ers makers va ried tho composition by sub.-titutiug ly- copodium (vegetable brimstone) for sul- pbur, and red lesd for vermillion; and al- so varying the relative proportion of tbe ingredients. Tbe necessity of using sul- pburio aoid however, tbe faculty with wbiob tbe latter lost its action by expo- sure to the air, and the then compara- tively bigh price of the chemical match combined, stood in the way of their gen eral introduction and flint and steel reign ed supreme.

This disoovory of phosphorus matches dates from 1833, in which year Romer and Prcsbel, two large manufacturers of chemical matches, commenced to make them on a large scale at Vienna, Aus tria.

A Brahmin's account of his Country. Rev. Mr. Gangooly, a converted Brah min now traveling in this country, deliv ered a lecture in New Bedford, a short time ago, on the manners and customs of his country. He said the Hindoos wero divided into thirty-four castes, of which tbe Brahmin reached the highest, and the banker, goldsmith and the shoemaker were among the lowest. The blacksmith is of a high caste, becauso of bis usefulness. If a Brahmin cats animal food, he loose his caste, whioh he can never regain. The 'subject of birth was next treated. The Kirfli nf n inn lr otiilr) ven -i oltcnrs made always the subject of scorn and derison and never went into society. There aro but three castes in India that could not read or write. The strict- ' eat attention is given to tho education of boys in India, while girls never go to j school. The diciplino of Brahmin life in somo instances was grand. A Brahmin rises at five o'olock, walks out and gath- ers flowers, and bathes before tbe sun ri- Bes. If tbe sun sees one of tbis class in bed, the fourteen generations of his an oestors will be punished in eternity. Wo- m.en must bathe every morning before they go into tbe kitchen, if they do not, people will not eat their cooking. Brab- ruins must keep silence while at the table; if they speak while eating they are o- bliged to go without food the entire day. The marriage system was next consid- ered. Hindoos do not know, strictly, what marriages are. Neither the boys nor the girls have anything to do with this matter. Pareuts make all matches, and the parties have no idea with whom they are going to unite their destinies, un- til they arrive at tho alter. lbe mar- riageablo age of girls is from seven to ten, and that of the boys, from thirteen to twonty-five. A girl of thirteen years of age unmarried is considered an old maid past all redemption. ' In regard to the burial ceremonies of tho dead in Indiana, many things bave been said and written by travelers that were untrue. The burning of the bodies! of widows upon the funeral pile of tho , husband was explained and accounted tor by the facts that, when a woman becomes i a widow sno must always remain in mat situation, and they were nover thought anything of, or treatod respectfully, and many of them, in view of these facts, pre ferred death.
