The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-09-04

The following is a description, by Ehu Bunitt,
now in England, Of Richard Golden the celebrated
and truly honored man Of England. All well
acquainted with his various noble and generous acts
of PATRIOTISM in carrying Out his famed project Of
the repeal OF the corn laws measure which will
eventually prove the salvation Of Ehgland
"Cobden arose-not to speak for the space Of
several minutes but to stand up in effective silence
x0fore the assembly, who would have drowned the
voice Of a trumpet before the swelling peals Of sp-
plause with which they greeted the Napoleon Of
moral revolution Several times he essayed to speak,
but he could frame his lips to the utterance of
word, the multitude would burst forth anew with
another volume Of cheers. | saw his clear, spirit
speaking eyes fill with tears, on thus being inter-
rupted the third time in his efforts to make himself
heard. There stood the meekest looking man
ever saw fronting public assembly, and in the
meekest attitude As he stood with his slight form
inclning forward, with of his thin, pale hands
hanging by the forehnger from button-hole in the
left breast of his coat and with the other resting
corner Of the Speakers DESK as If for support, he
looked the very impersonation of timid modesty.
His whole attitude and appearance reminded me Of
some humble member Of the Methodist church, in
America, arising in Of their class meetings to
tell his experience in contrite spirit. And that
was England's foremost man! Among all the he
roes her annals have numbered, that soft voiced
revolutlonst stood the highest in the peoples graft
tude. For England had become people, and he
the peoples man. and this was the hour Of his cor
onauon. The first words he uttered fell upon the
listening multitude in tones of queruous meditation.
They were uttered with child-like simplicity, and
were tremulous with the emotion he confessed"
