Smith, st ‘The Park Committee, appointed August 1, for the purpose of ereanizing and concentrating the political power of the work- emen of (his city, respectfully report:— hat they have attended to their duties, and after mature consideration of the importance of the question involved, have resolved (o recommend the following course of action : 1. That the workingmen form a new party in politics of the friends of the laborer and of the laboring tenantry, to be culled ‘The People’s Party.” 2 That the objecis ofthis party shall be the security and pro- tection of the rights of labor, and (hat they shall be Sopendens upon the condition of the people, the events that are transpir- tng, nd the * signs of the tines.” 3. That the measures of this party shail be such ag will ena- bie them to effect their object by the enactment ot such Inwe as may be from time to time required, aad that for the me being they shail be ns follows:—To secure “work for all” by the enactment of law repealing the contract system of employing labor on public works, and substituting therefor the organiza: tion of departments of Industry by the government, under the superintendence of commissioners ant other officers, to be elected by the people. To secure “homes for all’”’ by the enactment of # law to improve, for the benefit of the tenantry the public lands and ots belonging to the sevaral towns and Cllied of the State. To forfeit to the government all lands, the taxes on which shall remain unsatisfied after the time allowed for payment by law, the government to atford reasonable time for redemption, and to hold in trust and improve for the te- nantry all unredeemed at the expiration of such time: and au: thorizing free grants of the public lands (0 the actual settlers, and establishing a limitation of the quantity that any person may aegulre hereafter, To secure the election to legislaava oflices of representatives of working inen, by the enartaont of alaw to sulmitall laws involving issues not decided prior to = by tee election of the representative, to the direct vote of 60) ‘Ahd the Park Committed further recommend:— 1. That the party shall be organtzed nto ward associations, and that there shall be county associations, aud « State Con! vention, consisting of delegates from ward acsociations embra- cing Assembly districts, ‘That the several associations shall be supreme in their own localities, and arrange their own. local aftaira in thelr own way Uthat they sliall nominate their candidates for office directly, and by ballot, no persons voting but members and Jegal v And ”.

Jaques moved the adoption of the report. He said that there were certainly some things in it of which he could not approve, but for the sake of union he was willing to accept it as it stood. ‘The report was adopted nem. con. Mr. Joux G. Woopnerr then submitted the following re- solution:— Resolved, That this meeting, in behalf of the working- men of the city, do hereby recommend and call a mass convention of the workingmen of the State, to meet in the city of Albany on the second py 4 of October next, for the purpose of nominnting a ticket for thelr support, or selecting anch candidates as are already nomi- nated, who may be the most acceptible to them. Mr. Woovnery raid—I should like to see « general or- ganization perfected throughout the State. Similar con- Ventions to the one now proposnd have been held in for- mer years at Albany, and much good Ras resulted from them to the workingmen. Mr. D. C. Haspenson moved to amend the resolution by substituting New York city for Albany. Mr. Jaques t the resolution should indicate the mode in which delegates should be sent to the convention. He suggested that each Assembly district should send one delegate. Mr Wooprtry said that in former conventions the rural districts bad been very partially represented. A mass convention would probably awaken more interest in thore districts. Mr, Wear then enid—The report which has just been adopted provides for State convention, to consist of de- Jegates from the ward associations Meow oo | Assembly districts, and it will be called As soon an it be necessary. It strikes me that just now the calling of a State convention is unnecessary. We should begin at the centre and spread out to the circumference. When once we have fally Ke my og here, and have heard from other parte of the State from friends devoted to the move- ment, the Provisional or Vigilance Committee that has been appointed will, of course, call a convention. At esent it is premature. In this work the labor must in at ome, and when we have perfected our organi- vation then we may go forth conquering and to couquer. Mr. Crowe was the next speaker—I think, he said, tha any attempt to call a State Convention would be ly deeited! emature, and like ail other similar attempts of the work men in the st, would be eure to fall through. Unfortunately, all attempts to organize the working classes have failed for the want of a definite understanding to begin with about principles and men. and about organizations. The same blandey is now about to be committed, A State convention would involve the working clasees in extraordinary expenses which they are not in ® condition to meet. I find by the programme of the committee that they are proposing for the eons deration of the working classes a new anil extraordina question—the right of the people to substitute gowe: ment contracts for contract work. Now this is » new principle, and there are hundreds of the working classes who keep @ jealous eye upon governments, who would rather a thousand times that the work was done by private contracts than that the government shou! t have anything to do with it. The government do not Jererve the confidence of the people sufliciently to trast them sofer. (Cheers.) The committee also recommend the adoption of the eneumbered estates poliey adopted by the English PasMament. Now, 1 am perfectly «ati fied that the application of that law to some of the rack- rented property of Ireland was necessary to clear out some of the Olthy nests of the rristocracy; but that law was passed by an aristocratic government, whose fron hoof had been pressed on the neck of Irish liberty for seven hundred years; and J would not that American demoersey should take-up the dirty, threadbare gar. ments of any aristoeratic governnent. (Cheers. ) Afier semne farther disenasion, Mr. Woopnvry «nid that he had no doubt the rural ‘districts would respond heartily and generously ta the call for a Sinte conven- tion. He knew pomethiog of the feelings of the working clarres in the neighborhoods of Utira, Rochester, Troy and Albany, and he was satiated that the workingmon of the efty would be amply repaid by meeting those men ia convention. Mr. Gm, Apuw then eaid—I support the motion for the convention, because I believe it will «id in bringing about, not what some of the committee wish to bring about, but what the great mass of jhe workingmen devire. (Cheers, 1 do not wish to be personal toany on in this assembly, bat I newer will be the tool if I know it, of any political party. (Great cheering.) I never ‘will so help me God!

Psa Sin—I give you below as concise a statement of the accident on the Stonington line as I could gather in the confusion of the occasion. You can rely on the foi lowing as being correct:— Lett Newport yesterday afternoon and took the traia which left Providence at 74 P. M., Boston at 53, P. M., for New York, We arrived at Kingwton at 8:10, and left there again at 8:15. When about three miles from Kings- ton, myself, wife and child, being in the third first class car, andelght carsf:o them engine, we were suddenly surprised by a rocking, os if we wore going to fall down a preei- pice, and thena sudden atop. ‘The excitement being over | tore down a lamp and went forward, andsueb a wreck aa Presentel fteelf can scarcely be described. The engine and tender were off the track, as also the @prinkler; the two trucks of baggage crates were pitched pell meli over the fences on the left side, Then came the destruction. The two secon clams or deck ears were literally xmashed to atoms ond the poor creatures contained in them buried in the ruius; the first first class car also smashed wp, the second one (ilted over, and the third one, in which 1 sat, also off the track on a bridge, which caused the havoc; but this car was not upset, and the third behind it re- mained quite safe. ‘The Girst impulse was, of course, to look after the suf. ferers, in which I was kindly assisted by the Hon. P. Parker, C. 8. Commisioner to China, who happened to bea passenger, and, being a surgeon, was quite useful. The conductor, Mr. George H. Smith, immediately sant word to Kingston, three miles back, and also to Stoning- ton, 24 miles off, whfch was reached in one and a quarter hours, ous band car, obtained at the next depot. At about 12 o'clock Dra, Anthony and Carr, of Kingston, ar- rived, and at about 214 o'clock a train of ears arrived from Stonington, bringing long Dr. £, Palmer and son, of Stonington, ond Drs. Hazard and Johnson, of Westerly. who, together with Hon. P. Parker, did all they could & the poor sufferers, ‘The names, as I glean them, followa:— that Erastus was equal with his brother in the sole ownership of the Express, except cer tain mortgages which rested upon it, i The discussion was continued to considerable length, in whieh Mr, Brooks’ labors in the General Committee of whig young men, were referred to in palliation of his no is cecentriciti " WARN Kivprx made an animated speech, showing w Mr. Brooks’ proscriptive course towarta tha wool bog under Filh dministration, because of their objec Fugitive Slave law. ‘He opposed Mr. Brooks use he was a Know Nothing—asserting that, as Whigs, they could not consistently nominate a member of another and a secret political organization, and be- cause he (Mr. Brooks) was opposed to the Prohibitory law.

Mary Barry, New York, hand and arm lacerated, Some others were slightly hurt, and it seems almost Vmiracle how, under the circumstances, so many of us ‘scaped an instant death. It seems to be the impression fiat the accident was caused by some fiend in human shape wrenching off a rail from the bridge with a crow- bas the marks of which could be plainly seen, and laying the-ail across the track. We finally got the baggage and saskengers transferred to the other cara, leaving the wourted at a house about a mile distant from the wreck, wher they had been previously carried on litters, and started for Stonington, where we arrived about five o’clocl and went on board the steamer Plymonth.®- for Nev York.
