THE HARD TIMES. Mags Meeting of Mcchanics out of Eimploy- ment,in the Park—Speeches, Resolutions, dice ‘A meeting assembled in the Park yesterday at 334 e’clock P. M., pursuant to the following call, which ap- peared ip the morning Henatp:— TO THR PARK. Nuw Yorx, Deo. 19, 1854. At a meeting of mechanics, lately thrown out of em- ployment, it was unanimously moved and carried that » ing of mechanics and laboring men be held in the Park on Thureday afternoon, the 22d inst., at 3 0’ to petition the Common Council to commence the new City Hail and other public works at an early day, so as to give work to the thousands that are so much in need of it, and to take our deplora :le state into consideration, and to adopt such measures as many lessen the hardahips of the present winter. JOSEPH ROSE, Chairman. At the hour designated about fifty persons had assem- bied on the steps of the City Hall. By hoisting a fag on a neighboring tree and making some demonstrations to attract attention, sufficient numbers were called toge- ther to commence the meeting. During its continuance there were nearly a thousand persons collected, most of whom appeared to be laborers. There were no accommo- dations either for speakers or reporters. Mr. Wx, A. Youna came forward, and after calling the meeting to order, nominated Mr.. Edward F, Johnson as chairman, which was carried. Mr. Young then moved that a committee be appointed to draught rea lutions expressiveof the sense of the meeting. This was also carried, and Messrs. Wm. N. Young, G. T. Smith, Frederick Gein, N. C. H. Wheldon, and F.G. Angein were appointed such committee, White the committee were absent the chairman in- | vited any one present to come forward and speat. This was a subject that interested all mechanics, and they suould not de backward when their interests were at stake. At length Mr. Danixt WaLrorv came forward and said:— ' Mr. Chairman and fellow mech: —I came here this afternoon to listen, not to sp but as I have been requested T will though what I sa working people ha prevalent, and se: iress a few words to you, ot be to your liking, “The pon evil times—distress is 8 not done we will have as never before been @: may lead to we know not, Jed, we may, perhaps, have civil wai tering upon a series of public works, such as building the new City Hall, will do no good; there isa better way to afford employment to the poor. I balieve, asaomienn distinguished person bas it, there is nothing impoasible to him who w ond all the workingmon have todo ia to determine (o have their rights, and they will have them. I imve no faith in appeals made to our present Common Council, or any other council. We must depend on ourselves, and net on them. I hold a resolution in my hand, wiichI wish to offer to this meeting, in relation to the question of the owaership of the land, for I believe that on that point hangs al! our difficulties. Thousands ar) being thrown out of work every week, and what are the poortodo. Provisions were never so high, rents aro exorbitant, and Inbor is low, with every prospect ot becoming still lower. Now, what are workingmen todo? Why, evidently the best course to pursue ir to send the poor who cannot obtain employment to the far Went. We want fewer people in our cities, and more on the, as yet, uncultivated lands. Take the city of New York: we find that men ee our streets who wish grain and incat, and the land ie withkeld from thgse who may wish to uce. what they require for their wants, While we are almost starving for the want of food, grain is being’ shipped to Europe in great abundance; and what in strange, we have to pay more for cur own pre duce in this city than do the people of England. visions are dearer in New York than they ere in London. Now, this would uot be 60 were it not that workingmen were negligent, and preferred sitting on arum cask to attending to their busincss, (Applause.) They have let the politicians do what they pleased. If our people were to call on the government and make them give the land to the poor, we would have a very different state of affairs. Should Congress passa bill giving the land in limited quantities to the poor, it would bave the effect of removing from our midst much of the poverty we see, and make the working classes more comfortable in every respect. Congressmen and cther officials are asking for higher salaries and they are getting it; but the wages of the workingmen aro being reduced. ’ Now, we should demand that this procedure be reversed, and that Con- gressmen should get less and we more. (Ap- plause.) The only practical remedy is to remove the unemployed laborer the unoccupied territories of the West. Associations might be formed and money advanced toafford them the opportunity of settling on the land. After that they world, be abun: dantly able to take caro of themselves. There is plenty of money among the rich; you may read every day in the papers the biographies of the wealthy citizens of New York, The speaker here related a case that occurred in tho ‘Old Country,”’ where the land was appropriated among the poor with the moet beneficial results. Where land is dear, there isalways much poverty, but where it is cheap the poor are more likely to find employment. Nothing but the land will give the working classes what they want. In the State of New York there are five mil- lion acres of unemployed land belonging to the State. This should now be given to the poor; but ao, it is not, and conseqtieatly they are kept on the threshold of poverty. The grain of this country been sent abroad instead of being retained for our own use. All workingmen should be opposed to the exportation of provisions. We, con- Linued the spesker, should look to the future if we would do anything for ourselves or for our children. It bas been said that the best way to a man’s heart and affectiins waa through his stomach, and it ia true. The speaker here alluded to a’ plan by which the poor might be reut to the West. From the “bosses "' the workingmen can expect no mercy, for they are as grinding and as cruel in this country as in any other. If more produce was raised it would be cheaper, and consequently the mechanic would in offect receivé more wages ; and this, the speaker thought, was much bétter than increasing the salaries of members of Congress. The land, and that alone, is the remedy for the evils the laboring classes suffer. Above ali things, workingmen should abstain from rum; let them be sober and industrious, and they will be hovored and respected. The speaker then offered the following resolution :— Resolved, That this meeting is of opinion that the land is the only practicable remedy by which profitable em- ployment can prosperous the condition of the industrious classes. ‘The resolution was put and declared carried amid con- siderable applause. Here a noise was heard at some distance from the chairman, which at length was found to proceed from @ ntleman with along beard, who was enforcing the joctrine of the last speaker with considerable energy, As the epeoker would not come to where the chairman stood, that tpn ri ney was obliged to force his way to the speaker, who gave bis name aa Dr. Wm. J. Young. Mr, Youna spoke at seme length as to the desirability of pasting a land reform bili. Men should not be ed to own more land than they can use. No man was al to have more than one vote, and very proper- ly #0. "Here the committee returned with the resolutions they had drawn up. Cries of ‘Let us hear the resolutions—Give us the re- solutions.’’ ‘The speaker stopped until the following was read and elayeedh Ate meeting of mechanics and those out of employ- ment, held on Thursday evening in the Park, it was Resolved, That this committee consist of the fol- lowing gentlemen:—J. Thomas Smith, W. N. Young, Frederick Gein, Jr., C. H. Wheldon, Angein. Resolved, That a committee bo to solicit subscriptions in the mechanics’ behalf, from the mer- chants and business community in the city of New York, and all inoneys so collected be appropriated for the purpose of alleviating the sufferings of the various workmen out of employment. 4 Resolved, That this committee be authorized to draft resolutions, to be read on Friday afternoon, at four @’clock. room for the purpose of meeting in and dis eats = a moneya in the shape of provisions an Resolved, at a collection be now takn up for de- fraying tho expenses of advertising and hire of the | room. Reroived, That vote of thanks be tendered to the prt Rs Tribune for the use of their flag at this meetings Dr, Yorxe continued his remarks, urging that labor by the present land laws was robbed of its rights. The rich caa buy w think of the misery they create. Limit the quantity of land any man might acquire, and declare the freedom of the land now owned by government, and it will do more to benefit the labor of the country than any measure that could be adopted. When the mechanics ere of these measures, they will claim their rights; but not till then can they be said to be free: speaker continued in this strain for come time, and then retired amid a) “committee be ap- Mr. Wa.

The project will be car- ried imto effect as soon as practicable. The Common Council would do a praiseworthy act by making an ap- propriation to assist in this work of benevolence. The fol- lowing incident show to what destitution some of our citi- zens bave been reniered by the stagnation of business and consequent hard times. A few days since, a reapectable mechanic, who had been unable to procure employment, | had expended the last farthing, had not a morsel of food in the house for twenty-four hours, and his children cry- ing for bread,applied to a neighbor for assistance. He said, ‘You must give me bread, or I must steal; I am out of employment and can find no work; my children are cry- | ing for food, of which they hay ad soe Our twenty. | four hours, and they must be fed; for mytelf I ask not; I would willingly die—but oli! the cry of my poor starv- ing children I cannot endure.

The gencral depression of business throughout the country has to some extent reached the factories of this city.- Never, since the revival of trade in 1848, has there been such a cessation of activity in all branches of Inbor. Occasionally heretofore, periods of dullness have occur. red at customery intervals, during some of the winter and summer months, before orders came forward; but at prevent our factories ure mostly working without any particular deniands upon them and anticipate a conti- nued season of comparative idleness. Business, how- far from being prostrate, ‘and there have been ‘,and they unfounded, rumors of anticipated failures’ or suspénsions. The’ difficulty of collections from the South and West, as well as at home, and the small sales, will embarrass many, but it is the general impression that our business men will not only beable to | mect their obligations, but to maintain a larga number | of men on partial work, until the prospect becomes more decided. ‘The principal difficulty is arnong the laboring mecban- ies, many of whom are necessarily throwa out of work, asyemployers can neither spare the eapital to provide | ficient material, nor do they with to accumulate | stock. Inquiries among some of the prominent branches | of manufactures lead to the estimate that about | one-third of the men usually employed have been discharged, and that the remainder are kept on about half’ work. The total number who are idle, it is | estimated, cannot probably be less, including appren- | tices and sewing girls, than 3,000—the nomber which | haa recently been stated in several quarters. Wages | have not undergone apy material reduction, and among | some classes of mechanics there ié a disposition to keep | up the standard, even at the oxpense of lying idle, rather | than to work at reduced wages. In some shops the full | | complement of hands has been retoined, and what work | there is, divided among them, giving all'a small portion, but the geveral practice isto discharge a number, in order that the remainder may have their time more fully occupied. Fortunately many of the boys and girls | employed in our city have friends in the country, to | whom they go in times like the present. In the jewelry manufactories it is estimated that one- third lesa hands are employed, throwing about three hundred out of work. There is generally a lange stock on hand, and there is only a slight activity in sales oc- casioned by the holiday trade. Some small shops have suspended operations. The clothing manufacturers are holding up for the spring trade, and at present doing nothing. In the re- tail trade the sales are stated to be only about one quar- ter of the usual amount, and a leading manufacturer calculates that one thousand tailors aud sewing girls are iéle, In the hatting business one-third of the hands have been discharged. No heavy orders remain for filling at present, but operations having been restricted for some months past, a good trade is anticipated in the spring. This manufacture usually employs several hundred workmen, with a large number of girls. ‘Among’ the harness makers there are no large orders coming forward, and one manufacturer thinks that about half of the hands are employed with light work. This business is usually very heavy in our city. In one large carringe factory the hands Lave been re- duced more than one balf, and only single orders are coming forward. The condition cf this business, which is also of great importance, resembles the otters no- ticed, and the various branches of trade dependent on it, such es axle aed spring making, are proportionately re- duced. Plating, brass working, coach lamp making, &e., bein; also branches dependent on this, harness making an others, ar¢ similarly affected. The shoe business usually employs a great number im small shops, anda large number are vainly seeking work. Retail trade is very dull, and the exports light. In the patent leather manufacture, about two hundred are out of employment. Heretofore the factories have | scarcely been able to supply the demand on them, and | the business has been excee ingly prosperous. There is | not a large stock on hand, and although the orders are not at present large, some activity prevails in supplying what is needed for immediate consumption. The leather business is less affected than some others, being of a more stable character. It feels the prevailing dullness, but the workmen are generally retained, on about half employment. \ The soap and candle busin and several others, are also as good as usual, from some mgecpied of their character. Thus, inthe former, the winter is always the more active season, on account of the impossibilit of manufacturing in hot weather. There is but little building going forward, except the completion of some houses commenced during the past season, Fgra year past, however, builders have not been #0 much occupied as during the year or two preceding, as capitalists have it chosen to invest their money in manner, mate- rial and labor having been so expensive. There isalways, however, some demand for carpenters and mason The retail dry goods trade is very dull, and has fallen | off more than 25 per cent. Imported goods have de- clined in price on account of the large stock in the | country, much of which has gcne under the auction- | eer’s hammor. Domestic goods maintain their price. | The various kinds of retail snd tracfsient business, such | as millinery, dress making, daguerreotyping, ‘fauc | goods, books, furniture, ond innumerable. others, whic | depend on the general wants of the commanity, are ina | depressed condition, and feel the results of the e:onomy whicn all aro endeavoring to practic On the whole, though cur Business aympathises with | Resotved, That this committes be authorized to hire a | the substance of the poor, and never | the state of the markets generally, our branches of ma- nufacture are so varied, and of such a necessary charace ter, that our people are not depressed to anything like the extent experienced in former revulsions, and per- | haps not so much as the accounts from other manutac- | turing districts indicate. There is no actual sufferi es | parent among the industrial population as yet, and their economy ard frugality during the season of profitable In- bor, it is hoped, will carry them tslumphantly through the present pause in mechanical progress, although in- stances of individual suffering among those who have | experienced sickness or reverses,may and doubtless will, occur.

THE NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY. . Forty-Eighth Anniversary Celebration—Ser- vices at the Charch of the Messiah—Oration by William M. Evarts, Esq., d&ic., de. ‘The forty-elghth anniversary of the New England So- ciety of the city of New York, was celebrated by appro- priate exercises, at the Church of the Messiah, Broad- way, last evening. The church was about half filled. The exercises were commenced by the singing of the solo and chorus, (prayer from “Moses in Egypt,”) “Bow down thine ear, O Lord,” by Miss Divauey, Mr. Carxxy, and a select choir. 5 Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Garprvak Spring, D. D. The ode—“ Landing of Columbus’ — Awake the sounds of glory, Qver the ocean rolling, ‘The Heavens our way controlling, We strike the Western shore, &c., was then sung by Mrs. Brivxeruorr and the choir. The annual oration was delivered by Wituam M. Evarra, Esq. He said:—The custom by which wo cele- brate this snoiversary would find 9 sufficient renson in ancestral glory. The glory of the fathers is their sons, We examine the lives of their ancestors, and are jealous to see that no malignant distortion shall appear in the record of their acts. The clements of our government, which have prevented the transmission of rank, and made ridiculous a feeling of pride of family, have not weakened this feeling. And if the event which is this day celebrated had not brought about any great results, we should ~atill meet, in a spirit of filial veneration, to remember the deeds of the Pilgrim exiles. But great events have flown from their action, and still greater are yet to come. The landing of the Puritaus bad an influence on the world’s history, which has been felt all over the world. It was New Evgland as sho was founded, built up, and as she now is—mother of men, nurse of great Inciples, battle ground of great deeds—that we cele- Srate “in thls commemoration, (Applause ) And we exiles from the Pilgrim land do not lose our birthright, neither are we strangers here. We are here of right, and athome. It is with us as with our brethren in | the Fouth, in the valley of the West, and on the far Pacific shore—all honer this day. New England has not increased her territory, but her great inerease of population has Lae her institutions over all parta of that Union, iif the founding of which she took #o targe apart. ‘Ye have nothing here to do with controversial disputes, and only have to draw instruction for the future frcm the les‘ons of the past.

But be looked with equal distrust upo Komanists and Dissenters. Under the reigns ot Mary ant d the new church did not receive aid, and when th came to the throne there were three religious arties—the Romanista, the Church of ry ere the Puritans. It was hoped that she being a Proteatant—it was expected—that she would favor that persuasion. She had stil remnants of the anclent faith, and | eggs a crucifix in her own chapel, and refused to allow mixed marriages. Conformity to the Established Church was demanded from all as a means of solution of the religt- ous distractions. The Puritans sternly refused any comprcmise with the Roman Catholic Church, and to their restance England undoubtedly owes her ‘present safety. The Puritans were neither smaH in number or weak in point of talent, and so Dearly were the parties divided, that in the Convocation of 1562, a proposition toabolish the objectionable usages in the Church was only defeated by one vote. In the other reign these principles were directed to political matters, and by it the monarchy was overthrown. But there was still a party which refused to accede to the Church of England in any of its forms—that rejected the prayer-book.and all the forms—ard with the Bible as a foundation to form a undwork of faith, and from the ostablishment of a Congregational church in Notinghamshire, we date the establishment of the colony of New England. from this point it 1s proper to examize the condition of the Puritans. They were drawn from the body of the Eng- lish People, in contradistinction to the nobility and gen- try. They were equal in social position, and bein cbiefly ed in the tillage of the land,*were of that sober, reflecting, self-dependent turn of mind which such pursuits tend to promote. They were well aware of all their legal and personal rights—the habeas corpus —an inviolable threshhold—the right of representation in the Commons—these wesesome of the rights of Eng- lishmen at that time, add tl Pilgrims had ejoyed them. But the chief trait for us to admire in their character is the purity of their religious belief and the fervor of their Ghristian faith. To them all worldly things—all the pleasures of sense—all magnificence— were considered tg them as dust. They feared nothing from enemies—from fatigue or suffering. Their only enemies were their own frailty, and their ovly care was to see that their steps did notfailin the stern path of duty which they marked out for themselves, In this age, when religion is not so much a subject of ublic discussion, some call this feeling a spir.t of vulgar fanatacism, and others accredit it to the score of a gen- | erous aes enthusiasm, but we recognize in it the germ of those oy which founded a at State and preserved it. e church was entirely an inde- pendent and original body. Free su! was the basis of its government, and a spirit of brotherly equality was inculeated. To this church was soon presented the cruel alternative of voluntary expatriation or abandon- ment of their principles. hey cho® the former, and resided twelve years in Holland. But this was not the proper place for them, and they solicited permission to come to America, and here bag deseo two hundred and forty years ago. Clinging to the skirts of the ungra- cious mother who had repelled them, we find that this stone which the builders of Koglish power, and Lg ih law, and English Hberty rejegted, has become the head stone of the corner of our confederated States. (Ap- plause.) If we analyze the character of these founders of the State, we shall find as iarge a share of all the elements of manhood which could be found in human nature The presence of their wives and children made the wilderness a smilin; home. As they feared not death, no danger coul deter them. As they had no lust of dominion or ex- pectation of spoil, no disappointment could weaken or distury them. (The orator drew a vivid picture of the trials and the faith of the Pilgrims.) Thougl all earthly things should fail, be Rae! still say ‘I will rejoice in the Lord ; I will rejotce in the God of my salvation.” They were delivered from all hierarchies and nobilities— they had done with bishops and convocations, and courts ecslesiastical—they brought all that civilizes and refives our daily life—they brought with them, leaving behind ail the viees incident to society, in old coun- tries—they formed themselves into a body politic ; and ever since they and their sons have supported free government. The cold eye of tyranny yet watches for the time when the storm of passion or the selfish lust of wer will break down their system ; but it still stands. ¢ Puritans loved liberty better than their livos, They replaced lgyalty to s monarch, with obeaience to a law. ye mere passion of liberty has over, thrown many dynasties; but here its power ends, unless its advocates have the great constractive elements of law and duty. We then claim for the im fathers ngqt only a devotion to liberty, but an ad] nce to law and duty. They proved that men capable of governing themselves. were competent to di- rect the government of a State. They knew that mea strong in their own intelligence, would not endure a Sa j but they aisd knew that the power must be somewnttds, and they found in the law a co. overation of al in their mutual social duties, Their loaders exhorted them to cultivate brotherly feeling and to assist each other with their counsel and their store, avd that such a principle was the only maker and conserverof churches and commonwealths. While such scntiments are carried there will be wo failure of public spittt—no lack of public virtue. Radicalism, wlan. ropy orenthusiaam cannot go higher, than this.
