120 Eight Thousand Unemployed Workmen in Fifth Avenue, Monster Nass Meetings in Washington Parade Ground and the Park. Procession of the Unemployed. ‘ neta WHAT THBIR SPEAKERS SAID. Lajos apa. caeaaenareans ‘ ADDRESSES+ A mass demonstration of the unemployed workmen ‘was announced to come of yesterday afternoon, at the ‘Washington Parade Ground at 3 o'clock. Long before the hour published vast crowds might be seen wending their way to the scene of the proposed meeting, and by ‘the time they were called to order there could not have Deen less than 5,000 persons in the Parade Ground and vicinity. It appears that thie mecting originated from @ eonference of the German and American workmen, ‘who wished by this means to show that they were desi- rous of ‘‘fusion’’ so a3 to the more offectually influence the Common Council in their behalf, ‘The following appeared in yesterday’s Hakatp:— ‘Mass MxerinG oy Usemriovep Workmey in Washing- ‘ton Parade Ground on Monday next, at 3 P. M.—Acon- ference, composed of delegates from several organiza. tions of workingmen, for te purpose of devising mea. sures of relief, have approve? of the proposition: proved by the Rope Chapel movement, and a union mécting is to take place on Monday next, K.

M. Henry, C. L. Richter, Secretaries. ‘The mecting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Tra B. Davis, who ssid:— Fellow Citizens—You have been called together this af- ternoon by the united action of the committee appuinted at the late meetiag at Hoye Chapel, together with the committee of conference cumpo-ed of delegates from va. riews movements that have been laboring to devise means to relieve the great distress of the producing classes. }t is well known to you that almos? superhu- man exertions have been aud stil are beng made to aasuage the suilerings of the destitute. ani we feel gratefulfor the generosity that is manifested by those who have contributed, but we also know that the dis- ease is too deeply seated to be healed by any temporary charity that may te ex'eaded. (Cheers.) We kcow ‘that there are but slight inducements for capitalists to invest their money ta trate, avd therefore the charity that may be extended will tall far short of accomplish ing the designs of the doners; (cheers;) ani when they learn that notwithstandidg their contributions the evil is not abated, but has daily and fearfully increased, and no prospect of trade reviving by private enterp! they will become accustomed to the cry of the destitute, and, tired of contributing longer, their purse-strings will be tightened; and when charity is no looger ex- tended to those broken in spirit that accept of it now, their distress will render ihem frantic; and in their wild despair they are more to be dreaded than those too proud to accept ebarity, but simply demand tbe oppor- tunity to labor, Sensation.) In view of this melan- choly picture, of cistress, and the great distance at which relief can be rativpally ez; ected froma reviving of trade through the ordinary channels, and the incom- petency of any movement o! charity to supply the wants of the unemployed, and feeling assured tuat in this ex- tremity it {s not only just that we should demand of our governments of the city, Stat: and nation some extra exertions to repair the evils that have resulted from unwise legislation hitherto—(cheers)—uader these circumstances, your committee have concluded that the demand set forth in the memorial presented to the Common Council by the committee from Hope Chapel, was conceived in wisdom, and is demanded in justice. (Cheers.) ‘The building upon the public lands of the city would furuish direct employment to many thousands of mechanics and laborers, aud by their beiag employed, with ther wages they would be enabled to better support their families with the necessaries of life, and thus by the purchase of the products of other trades give a general stimulus to business, so that every class of citizens, laborers and traders, would share the beneitt that would dow from this (Cheers.) And though the renting of these houses at cheap rents to those that would occupy them, and the necessary reduction of rents im other parts of the city that would result from the building of the-e houses, yet the capitalists would not be so seriously a‘lected as many of them fear; for the.. general improvement of the con- dition of the people, aud the rents from their buildings would greatly retuce the rate of taxation; and it theas neapanks Healdore axe, nos heavily taxed thap.can= not complain if they do not receive such high rents, for it is the taxes they urge as the excuss for their demand- fing such heavy rents. (Cheers,) Yes, fellow citizens, ‘the adoption of this policy by our city would retlvct hon- or.upon our city government, be a blessing not only to Our own citizens but to the elvilized world, for if woald point out a more wise andcquitable system than has itherto been adopted. (Creers.) And in this hour of distress will you be denied this just request? (No, no, no.) Will you slow these men to treat your petitions with contempt—and te men who inhabit thove palaces that surround you, whose storehouses are tilled to reple- tion, who have perhaps never done a useful day’s labor in their lives, to laugh at your misery and mock at your attempts at ‘redressy (No, no, no.) And though we know the property they pos-ess is the result of our han- diwork, yet we say to them and to our legislators, the time has come when this system of plunder must in some measure be abated. Let them keep what they have got, but they must not oppose our secking a re- gene to form. (Cheers,) “And we als» ask of our ral ‘government that a step shall be the syxtem of land monopoly, for it is a tact that we not only the,terants of doniestic cap talists, but foreign, and often to the crowned heads aud titled aristocrats of the old world; for they—koowing the unsafety of their pokitions in this day of growing intelligeace, when men are learning “what are their rights and losing their reveren’e for monarchy—many of them, parcbase large tracts of land in this country as a retreat, which they mike the oceupants pay heavy rents or a large alvance op. the-price; and, therefore, Comzress is catle! upon to limit the quantity that shall be ueld, and make it free to the actual settler. And as there is a large surplus of money in tre tot they should assist the harly Pioneer to settle it, which wold make the nation happy and prosperous, and the goverament honored by the whole humen race. Ani now, fellow workmin, you must learn this important fact—chat your interests ‘are one and the same—no matter what land gave you birth, or what Teligion you profess; that the property of s0- ciety ia produced by labor, snd capitalists dour sh bast ‘when they can obtain labor cheapest, and every device is practised by them to kevp the working classes from fraternizing, lest they shoud discover the'r true rela- tions, ond by that unio ain them. ‘Therefore, na- tional and religious prejulices are stimulated vy these men amcng the workers, ani then they smile at yeur duplicity. But 20w you must unite as brothers, striving for greet principles, the realization of which will make all faery ‘and friendly with each other. Mr. Jomn Com Menrorv then read the following address and resolutions to be presented to the Common Coun- cil, which were a¢opted by acclamation:— ADDRESS AND RESOLUTIONS. ‘Whereas, various editors of papers and others have taken upon themselves to dirsct the action of the un- employed in our city ant its vicinity; aod whereas these Persons seem to think that the people have no right to look for relief from the municipal, state or general governments, We, tne dertitutejand aggrieved parti wy the soundness of such theory; that the position is unsound, frets and the practice ‘of logistat on mast prove, ‘t it was the iatention of some of tne origt- nators of our form of government ti it should be sternly just, and free from the dispensstion ot favors to indtvigua's or cleeses in its operation, is true. With. out the intention of claiming to be as well versed in the smotapbysical analysis of what » government should be, as those who assume to teach us where we shoold halt in our expectations—in our experience we gather the knowledge that, in no conventional arrangement that ever led to the existence of government, was it sup- d that the result of such cenvocaton would ensure ire equal protection of every member of the State. Is 4t not too true. in the necessity for the formation of a new or separate organizat.on of government, that those who shaped its ex stence and launched it on its career for good or evil, were those whose station, de- sire and interest impelled them to appropriate to them- selves all the advautages of the compact. In the for- goverament it is useless to ped the predominating iuffu- he creation of the system which e were two opin: held as anactive contiaaee 5 metinm through which no {oequatity in m of individuals or classes should be evokod or fostered ; the other, that a government 0 be effvctive should be wielded by aggregating to itself the power of ite motion, by the centripetal and cooventrative ation which it could manifest by restrictiog of extending its favors, whenever it chore to exer ine these functions, ‘Thus, we see, that while the first axwom, as stated, has been received as the correct idea of a rep an, and, there. fore, just goverument. the second has been the prevail- ‘ing and practical application of the general and State governments, It is not with the theory of oar govern ment that -ve find fault, but with its practice. With the evidence of the baneful elfects whicl have broaght upen our wives and children the paralysis and curse of want of employment, through the ‘om aod favor tism of out Tegisla ion, shall we be told to conse our marmurings @nd not call upcmour represe.tatives to proceed and make us equitable restitu'ion for the injuries waich nf'ciei?

Therefore, be it Resolved, t in obedience to the wishes of the great multitude who are at presentin a state of destitution, we come again to this body, to invoke its aid to shield them from the further visitation and continuance of tho sufferings with which they are afflicted. Entertain'n, the oe that your wish to alleviate the conditioa o the afflicted is apparently clouded by the restraiats im- posed by the laws enacted by the State tor your govera- ment, we respect your intention to discharge your obli- gations. lst we thus measure the nature of your position, we are nevertheless coavinced that you have tho power to remove tho obstractions arising from laws under which you act. An application by you to our representatives at Albany for the alteration or suspension of any law tnat conflicts with the interest, protection or wellare of our citizens, must have its paramount weight. The thousands who are out of employment know not where to look for relief, but to you. ‘here can they look but to their immedi- ate representatives? In their misery and hour of need they conjecture that you are the great committee of waysand means, whose duty it is to provide for their famishing and shelterless families. Gentlemen, we feet that the greatest weight of responsibility is unexpectedly forced upon you. Never since the organization of this government has any one State, city or locality beea visited with the sad spectacle of seeing over one hun- dred thousand men, women and children bereftof em ployment snd the means of living. In the consideration of the consequences of this unlooked for prostration of the elements of vigorous industry, there are but two alternatives to fall back upon. Firat, To extricate the people from the gloomy pros- Rect of want and despair, which is even now wringing ym them the bitver lamentations which precede rhe wild determination of turbulence and crime. Second, That you may escape the necessity of briag- ing into action the means or the weapons witn which tyranny is accustomed to sustain itself, wacnever it is called upon to render justice or mercy to thoae from whom it has extracted their last fartaing. Altbough this committee are satisfied that the visita- tion of this fearful calnmity has not been the result of cbance, and notwithstanding they are fully acquaiuted with the causes which nave produced this state of taings, they again reiterate the declaration that the laboring classes are in no way apswerable for the condition in which they are found. If they have been made tribu- tary in producing the present evils, it is only where they have exhibited their negligence in the selection of tne proper agents who could protect them from ths disas- trous results of the corrupt and unwise legislation of the period, Resolved, That our municipal authorities are hereby requested to obtain from the Legislature of this State the passage of such alterat ons in auy article of the existing charter of this city as may give the above named func- tionaries the power to levy taxes sufficient to collect a revenue for the immediate employment of such numbers of unemployed workingmen as may be deemed necessary. Resolved, That we aiso ask for the suspension of that part of the present laws which gives the power to the landlord of ejecting the tenant from his premises, whea such occupant, from want of employment, is unable to By, for the use of such shelter; and, further, that the ‘tate shall indemnify the landlords for any loss that may accrue from said suspension. Resolved, That as the unemployed workingmen will not remain the recipients 0? charity, they call upon the members of the Common Council to’ assist them in de- manding from the Legislature that the lands belongig to the Stato be set apart and distributed, free of charge, and that the divisior of the amount be alloted im pro- portion to the number of applicants. Resolved, That this meeting solicit the aid of our city authorities in calling upon our representatives at Wash- ing to insist apon their immediate passage of a home- stead bill that will secure to the actual settler the un- restricted use of one hundred and sixty acres of land. Resolved, That this meeting also request the Mayor, with our city Council, vo join with usin calling upon Congress for the appropriation of — million of dollars, and that said moneys be proportionately set apart for the purchase of implements of husbandry aod the meaus for the subsistence and conveyance of such a3 may need e:ther the one or the other; and that in addi- tion the government shall be empowered by the appro priation co assess aud hold the lands of each occupaut subject to payments at such stipulated periods as may be just to both parties. ‘The crowd, during the delivery of Mr. Davis's speech, increased enormously, and the Parade Ground seemed alive with the vast concourse. THE PROCESSION. A procession was then formed, so as to proceed in a body to the Park and present the above address to the Common Council, They marched around the ground without music or banuers, and certainly a rougher or more uncouth set never paraded in this city. Tho'vast- news of the crowd may be estimated from the fact that they had eighty marshals. Mr. Ben. Price officiated as Grand Marshal, assisted by Messrs. Wm. Arbutnnot, Antoine Rickel, ©. L. Ricliter, Robert Grant, K. A. Bailey, Charles Smith, and others. The procession fled out of the parade ground and marched up West Wash- ington place to Broadway, from thence to Clinton place. Here the ery was raised, “Let us march up Fifth ave- nue, and show ourselves to the aristocracy.” This sug- gestion was udopted, and the motley assemblage paraded up that renowned locality, to the great astonishment of its denizens, who might be seen crowding to the windows, and staring at the unwashed and greasy work- men as they filed past their paladial residences, mious banners or music. Theynempleyed said nothing, but walk- ed along silently and sternly, though one of them some- what facctiously remarked that there was a strong sell of codfish in that vicinity. They turned down Tenth atraet to Broadway, and then to the Park. Here another crowd had assembled, and by the time they were. orga: nized in front of the city Hall steps, there could not have been less than twelve thousand persons present. The crowd in the line of march were drawn up in files of eight and ten deep, and when the Lead of the column entered the Park, the rear was in the neighborhood of Grand street. THE MEETING IN THE PARK. After the procession bad entered the Park and formed themselves in frovt of the City Hall, Mr. Ira B, Davis called them to order, and proceeded to address them; among other things, be said:— ‘The banker who stands bebind your employer says, “We can no longer afford them facilities to prosecute their business.” Itis only when these moncy mongers fvel disposed to let loosé their purse strings and grant the necessary means to the business men, that they can give you thay employment which you so much require, We ask that, inasmuch as our city government hus a large amount of property which needs improvement, and we have thousands of unoccupied lots of land, to have dwei- ling houses erected upon these lots, and afterwards let to the laboring classes at moderate rent. This would bea great advaniage to the tax payers, as well asa benefit to the workingman. The carrying out of this measure, as was stated in the memorial which we inten presenting to the Common Council, would be of immense Telief to the working classes, as it would furnish imm: diate employment, and would give them houses much more moderate rate than they have to pay at pre: sent; desider, it,would at the same time a: con- siderable revenue to the city. Applause.) Now, the capitalists and the narrow-minded spezulators, will, of course, take grounds against this proposition; but, workingmen, remember that you are the creators of Wealth, and the only producers of property in the country ; and, as your Mayor has justly said, the la- borer, who produces everything, has bitherto receivad comparatively nothing, while the capitalist, who has created nothing, bas received everything. (Applause.) And now, when the Mayor of your city points out the evil and suggests to the Common Council the necessity of taking some measures to relieve the distress, it is for you to back him up, and all the members o’ the Common Council who are in your favor. (Renewed applause.) We are assembled here without reference to our political views; we have cetermined, though, on thia—having agreed upon certain furdamental principles which would prove a blessing to humanity,"we say, whoever will take ound against this movement we will remember them erea{ter—we will tell them they shall never again rep- resent us, and we will keep toour word. (Applause.) ‘Thix we are determined to do. And now, fellow-citizens, having adoressed you once before this aiternoon, 1 am getting hoarse and unable to give utterance to the senti- mente prompted by the occasion. Mr. Davis here gare way to Mr. CommERrrorD, who addressed the meeting as fol- lows :—Fellow-citizens—I saw in the two cent whistle of the Lieutenant-Governor of this State—tne Daily Times attack on the movement you have commeaced. In paper, today, you are told that instead of being devised oy American citizens this is a foreign, agrarian movement. They say the American mechanics are aatis- fied with their condition, This man being one of the inetraments in producing the present state of things, I suppose he thinks that you should be satistied with it. He +ays, too, you are not capable of thinking and act- ing for yourselves, and that you are not worse off now than yon were a yearago. Yes, he te leyou that tt is the foreigners among you who are exciting the working classes to commit violence and disturd the peace of socie- ty. Now, I tell Mr. Raymond, or Mr. Harper and the other managers of the Times, that the American workingmen understand the nature and principles of their govern. ment, and they don’t want the mterference of foreign- rs to teach ‘them. (Applause.) This has been the policy of the aristocracy at all times. ‘They wish to reparate the American mechanics from the German, and the German from the Irish ; they w. to keep you in «a divided condition, ‘#0 tl ou cannot concentrate your ae for the enefit of yourselves and fedlow workingmen. This is also the pian of the man which gives expression to the opinion of the two penny whistle, the D i re plause.)

Well, I say hea fhe butl say, also. that you bave not asked for their charity. You de the honest, independent livelihood which is to be ob- teinefi only by manly labor.

(Ap- plause,) Now, fellow-citizens, we know that the Mayor lew York is with us—that he don’t like to see a lee multitude every rae assembling around the without the means of labor. (Applause.) We have a memorial and resolutions which we iutend to present to the Common Council, and also to the Mayor, and we want thas Common Council to treat usin a different man- ner the next time ws appear before them. I noticed that when a deputation from fi'ty trades went into the Coun- cil chamber they were treated without the least respect, while a petition from a fire company for an engine re- ceived the greatest attention and consideration. The very moment, however, our memorial was presented, to be satisfied with from i Pp treasury, aud it is better that it should be used in | ik to | tell there was a buzz among the members as if it were a | matter of no consequence that over 100,000 psrsons in New Yorb and its vicinity should be out af employment. Now, let us teach thove men that we don’t place them in this ‘hal to treat lightly a subject of such importance. | I aay, if a committee of this cescription were to present & memorial to the Senate or House of Representatives, | they would be received with respect and courtesy. I a/ mit that these men are ignorant, and they acted as they have done from ignorance of w! who placed them in the position: occupy. All ws k of them is to ¢o justice to the vast multitude that are congregated here. We will go further, and tell ths members of Congress, when we go there, you and over again we want a fleet of steamers, you are in a position to build atleast five of them with he surplus which you have in the treasury. Appro- priate the necessary fands for this purpose, and you ‘will give employment to a large body of ship carpenters and others, who are now in want of work. (Applause.) Dr. Foxrcn next aderessed the mestiag in German, and spoke of the condition of the laboring classes, aa the neces fe their immediate employment. He was followed by Mr. Macarthy, who protested on tho part of his fellow workingmen against the charity which had been offered them by the wealthy, and said that they did not require alms--it was the right to live by labor which they were seeking to establish, Mr. SmitH made a few remarks, in the course of which be inveighed bitterly agamst the Common Council, which, he said, was endeasoring to starve them out by éelay.’ He also launched forsh a phillipic agaiust the Know Nothings, and said that when a man came here and declared his allegiance to the American fiag, he was entitled to the same protection as he who was born in the country. It appeared to him a very narrow minded prejudice that would say toa man, we will allow you the privilege of becoming a citizea of this country, but deny you all the benefits which might result from such citizenship. Mr. Ina B. Davis—The committee who have been ap- pointed to present the memorial to the Common Couasil are Mr. John Commerford, Robert Grant, and Ludivico approve of them? * from the crowd, ad confusion. Tt was also carried that the same committee memo- rialize Congress and the State Legislature on th® subject mentioxed in the addres Mr. Eowanp P. BLANKMAN was the next speaker. This, rafd@he isoneof the most pitiable spectacles I have ever seen, To see this vast a+sem lage, this sea of upturned faces, who have come here to proclaim that men, able and willing to work, are starving fa our mi ist.

(Applause.) We do vot ark that balls or festivals shallbe given for the unemployed, but we ask for that to whica they are entitled and should receive atthe bands of their law givers (Applause, )"The C ty Fatbers you have placed here should immediately devise some measures to employ those who are now starving, 80 that they may have the where- withal to maintain themselves and families through the inclement weather. The Common Council is but the or- gan to express your will, which to them should be law; and if they do not obey yes in your just demand, they deserve t6 be impeached for dereliction ef duty.

If thoy will not pass it to-day, come again to-morrow, and use all legal means to compel them to attendto your just demands, Stick to them until they wll a law to af- ford you permanent relief. (Great appla Geatle- men, Twili not detain you longer, but will iatroduce to your notice my eloquent young friead, Mr. Jesse Ken- nedy Furlong. Mr. FURLONG, quite a young gentleman, here came for- ward amid cheers, He referred briefly to the fact that he wi itranger to most of those present, but be felt with the workmen in their distress. We see at this time that the rich are still acquiring more weal:h, aad the poet continuelly getting poorer. The capitalists are roll- Ing in Inxury, while the workinen’s fireside is rendered cheerk id desolate, Itis not necessary to hold alts and festivals to amend this state of things. seen to by the legislature and the Common Couacil. Ask those whom the people have placed in power to give the unemployed something to do, Mr. Furlong con- tinued in a highly poctical strain for some time, and concluded with ‘ Truth crushed *o earth,” &e. ‘The Cuamaan said: As it has been urged by ths Mayor and Common Council that the city charter does not give them power to afford any relief, it is suggested Ee memorial be sent to Albany, req vesting the Legislatitre, now in sesvion, to amend the charter so a+ to confer on our city government sufficient power to help the poor efficiently. This proposition was put, and declared carried amid great applause, Dr. F. W. Uxpenmmt was the next speaker. He had on different occasions tried to influence the members of the Common Council on bebalf of the unemployed work- men. There is a remedy which will give tho poor the relief they requite. Ask the Legislature to appropriate half a imution dollars, to be expended in public works, | fo ax to give them employment. Let the city govern: ment also asked “to do its share of the work. Mr. Underhill was sure that the people had some friends ia the Common Council; Mr, Peter M. Schenck was one of them; but he regretted to say that when the chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Wandell, was asked his opinion on the subject of the workingmen’s memorial. he st be justified in taking any action at all on the subject, and was decidedly opposed to the Councilmen even con- sidering it. But the people will remember these gentle. men when they come before them for endorsement at the polls. They should not forget the poor—they re- ceive not on'y thirty-two dollars a month, but also the pickings and stealings besides. (Laughter.) The rights of labor should be more attended to, so that eventually all exchanges, the land and machinery, might be tn the hands of the working classes, to whom they rightfully Led! Tt is nonsense to Bay the Ped cannot be re- lieved by our city government; for if any defect exiats in the charter, it can be amended by the State Legisla ture in five days, if they wish it. Mr. Underbill gave notice that a movement was now on foot, and would soon bemade public, having in view the organization of a uew party based’ on the rights of labor. Such a movement could not fail to be popular, and would re- a = agreat good to the community. (Enthusiastic cheeriny Here Fite Chairman announced that the Common Couneil were in session, and it would be well for the meeting to adjourn, to allow the Committee an opporta- nity to wait on two boards ‘The regular meeting at thi of the proceedings storied but a large crowd still remaining, Paul and other itinerant speakers amused and edified them until near seven o'clock in the evening. ‘The Committee appointed to wait on the Common Council were upable, we understand, to get their memo- rial presented, on account of tome informality, It is understood, however, that it will be presented to-night. City Intelligence. Sowermya Mysteniovs,—Considerable excitement has been created in Wall street, within » day or two, by the sudden disappearance of an individual who has figured pretty extensively here as a financier with the funds of, but not for the account and risk of, retired capitalists. It wan soon rumored that he had taken his departure ia ove of the last steamers for Europe or California, His operations in Crystal Palace stock, in real estate, and in numerous other things, bave been known for some time, and it was alvo stated that certain parties have suffered, indirectly, to n very large amount. When it wa unced to those who had con; rated at his place of iness, that thi ntleman had left for foreign parte, they quictly reti to figure up the result of their’ joint epeculations. He will probably take up his residence semewhere on the banks of the Rhine, in the neighborhood of otber New York financiers Coroners’ Inquests.

In Relation to Page, Bacon dé Co —Strength of the House —Great Excitement Among Californians— Immense Surplus. A mecting was held last night, at the Metropolitan Hotel, by the friends of Page, Bacon & Co., of California, to take into consideration the position of the house, and for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were able to sustain themselves, both in California and through- out the United States and England. There were at least abuncred gentlemen present, and the deepest interest was manifested in the proceedings, The meeting was organized by calling Mr. G. V. Garrison, ex-Mayor of San Francisco, to the chair. Mr. Gamxison remarked, after opening the meeting, that when in San Francisco, in Uctober last, he had made an ¢xamination into the condition of the alfairs of the house, when he fuund that they had $1,080,000 above what was nece sary to cover Lspilitic od that they had also a absolute balance, in coia or bullion, of over $400,000 above what was necesary to pay all their deposits. This examination was wade without auy pre- concerted arrangement on the part of the house, imme- diately after the arrival of the Kastera mails briagiag a rumor that the St. Louis house was too deeply engayed in railroads, and that the bills presented a+ the New York house had been protested. Mr. Garrison then pro- ceeded to state, from a private memorandum which he held in his hand, und which had hecn received by ‘Mr. Bacon by the steamer of this moriing, that on the 23d of last month the cush balance ou haad amounted to $2,540,405 63; that the deposits amounted to $1,- 716,088 50, and the assets of the howse above ab lia- Dilities were $1,190,085 19; that he coald vouch for the accuracy of this statement, as it was made to the part- ner of the firm bere from the partner in San Fraacisco, for whose veracity he was willing to pledge himself to apy extent. Mr. Garrison, in jasion, calied upoa Mr, Aspinwall to relate the arrangeuwnts waich had been made for the protection of the drafts of the San Francisco hous Mr. ASPINWALL said he had been requested by Mc. Bacon, a short time before the meeting, to be present and relate what had occurred since the evening of the luth, an he was under the care of a physiciaa, aud was unable to leave his bed. lt was oa tue lUth, said M-. 1 received the first intimation from him tnat he msecurity to his bankers for past transactioas. I blamed him for having dove so without a distinct ar- rapgement as to future. His reoly was that he had done g0 in co1 nce of the importuaities of Mr. Sherman, and a os age that uuder no circum: stances could it impair his ability to meet every claim against him. But now, he adced, he calls for money. In consequence of what further passed between us, I went to Mr, Sherman on that afternooa, and hada general conversation with him, wzich led to no apprehensions on my part that Mr. Suecman intended to diehonor him. it is true Mt. 8. told mo he thought it very hard upon Duncan, Sherman & Co., to make these advances, as they were of aa exceedingly in- deonite character. I agreed with him tuat matters of such impoitance should be reduced te absolute certainty, doth in regard to amounts and ty the manner of pro- viding them. We parted after this conversation, aal the nxt morning, while at breakfust, 1 received a note from him, asking whether I knew if our friend Bacon had made arrangements, as it was necessary be sloald know before ten that day. This alsrmed me, and | im- mediately went to Mr. Bacon’s room, where { found Mr, Sherman. We bud a conversition, but our views dif- fered considerably. The result of it was that if Mr. Ba- con would undertake to say what suin was necessary, in anticipation of the remittances he expected from Cali- fornia, we would furnish it.in equal proportions, 1a re- ply to Mr. Sherman’s inquiry as tu the sam, Mr. Bacon named $100,000 ay, in his opinion, sufticient, the Belcher alarm in St. Louis beiag over. We immediately agreed to furnish it, on terms which I intended to secuce that defini:eness which Mr. Sherman so much desired. As soon as practicable, 1 addressed him a letter, forming part ot the correspondence, which at Mr Ba ou’s re- quest, I have placed in the hands of Mr. Tifaay, waom Mr. Bacon had requested to appear at their meeting in hix bebalf, ‘The correspondence, remaraed Me, Aspin- wall in conclusion, speaks for itself, Iu relation to the arrangements mude since tne protest, the sole ooject has been to protect the drafts of the San Franeiscy house, not only from protest, but from any delay in their im- mediate payment. To accomplish this the service: of the Hon. Charles O’Conor, Daniel Lord and LM. Bariow had been engaged, and afford the vest g .urautee that the end would be accomplished. The result ef to-dsy’s opera- tions proved their etticiency. Mr. O'CONOR next addressed the meeting, but we re- gret that the lateness of the hour will not permit us to ive a report of his remarks. ‘tlaey were to the eifect, Eowerer, that the affairs of Page, Bacon & Co. were in such a condition that no apprehensions whatever need be felt ax to their solvency Mr. Trrraxy followed, and made full explanations of all that had occurred, showing that the drafts aavised after the 5th inst (those up to that date having beon ad- vised in letters received by Duncan & sherman, prior to the lth inst..) had not amounted to the sum guaran- teed, of $100,000; he also complainet that no; ouly were they protested, but also drafts advised on and before the 6th, and that Mr. Bacon was only iaformea that he would be protested a few moments before three o'clock. Atter this explanation Mr. lillany read the following New Yor, Jaa. 11, 1855. | letters: Watts Suerman, Esq. : Dransin—To avoid all misunderstanding hereafter, T beg leave to record what | understand to be the result of our interview of this morning at Mr. Bacon's room. ‘Ist.
