The Effects of European War upon Ameri-
ram f{or, raarCa

From long and powerful speech made by Mr. Golden
at late peace meeting in Manchester which attend
ed by some six thousand persons take the following
striking paragraphs relative to the effects of European
war upon American commerce The position is unques
Now have heard great deal of trash talked and have
great deal more written about what to be expect
ed from the United States of America If declare
with France Don't deceive yourselves America is not
coming to put herself in alliance with the Ango-Saxon
race 70 maze war with France Cheers II you go to
do the first thing they will do, will be to very
bold attitude and require you instantly to abandon the
right Of search which claimed and exercised during
the last war, and left open question even at the
peace Now you will be obliged Instantly the
right Of visiting American vessels America will no longer
allow you with her tonnage nearly equal to your
to do what you did foryvs years ago with impupity
and what will be the consequences! America will carry
on the commerce OF Europe,
Do you think with your navigation laws repealed-now
invite the merchants Of Liverpool whose talk
pose that with the navigation laws repealed II there
between France and England, and narrow seas
swarm, they will with priyateers having letters Of
marque-mBny ana many proud steamer built on the
Atlantic shores coming here with letters OF marQue
TO seize prizes merchant yesses-do you suppose
that under such circumstances any body would be such
fool to send OF freight under the English
flag Would not the insurance be 20 50 per cent
than the insurance Of American ship And who in
the world do you think could carry competition in any
commodities he had pay 20 80 per cent more than
those who brought their goods in any foreign ship What
must be the effect instantly Of war! Your ships must
leave your harbors and and enter themselves get
registered either American ships, Dutch ships or
sIlps, hnu De any tnlng but English ships
then you may bring your commodities here under some
other flag and what viii become of the shpwrghts Of
Liverpool, when all the English ships gone and
others building They may follow them, they may 20
to the work house, [Iiear, hear
That is what will follow that is what will come
Of the high handn aud pitching into France as the
saying is Laughter And right well would the mer-
chants of Liverpool deserve such things if they
sanction such of policy encourage that tone
Of the press which invites provoeaton aud that
kind Though We have not thought sufficiently Of what
would do for ourselves, have you considered
giaf alt4 has I1utr
hive which subssts entirely upon the industry that is
employed upon the raw material brought from abroad
IL would be very different thing throw the country
into distress for the OF the material
what IL was some sixty years for capital has in-
creased four i've fold aud consumption of the
material has increased eight ten fold what it
was in those days Don't listen TO those papers which
talk about pitching into 2 France, and don't deude
yourselves with the idea that the United States will
come to the help of the English in any that may be
carried The Americans too shrowd to fight other
peoples battles; when you find them fighting It will be
for themselves. [Cheers and laughter
