/ We publish to-day a speech recently de-
livered by Mr. Golden, who has travelled
80 MUCH and so abservankly in this country
who has taken 80 deep an interest in the sue
cess Of o,n free Institutions, and who is the
foremost Of the representatives Of English de-
| mocracy in the British Parliament. 10 this
speech. which was delivered before his con.
stituents at RochNale, Mr. Golden arrives at tNe
same conclusions which the HERALD arrived at
long since, and which have recently dawned
through the benightd minds Of the editors Of
the Richmond papers. He says:-"K were
President Lincoln aud found myself rather in
q difficulty on account of the pressure of taxa

federal ranks and II / wanted to see the whole
population united as one man, ready to make me
a despot, should wish nothing better than for
England or France, or both together, to attempt
to interfere by force in the quarrel. You sec it
stated that in the elections there is some dis
union of parties but let the foreigner interfere
in that quarrel, and all the old lines OF demar.
cation will be elfacsd forever, and you will have
a united people joining togefher to repel the in
trusicn. It was 80 in France in the great revola-
tionary war. Englishmen are very apt
to think that they can do anything by force.
Let them Danish that idea, Their Interference in

cheaper to feed all the population engaged in

six months OF . war would coat mors money
than would be required to maintain the popula-
ton comfortably for ten yearsW
Such are the sentiments of one Of the most
popular statesmen OF England, who more
than any Other reflects the opinions of the
masses Of the people, whose leading chamsisn
he was in the great struggle TO repeal the tax
imposed on bread for the benefit of the landed
aristocracy. lie possesses their contidsncs
row ~ much rs ever be did, and his sentiments
may be regarded az theirs. In opposition TO
resent the aristocracy, Mr. Golden, represent

the whole population in.America are contend

America is to be soon brought to a termination,
it vii. not be brought to an end by separation
Of the South from the North; for there are great
motives at work among the large majority Of

them to this dreadful contest rather than see
their country broken into .we nations" Hence
Mr.. Golden argues that British interference
wcud only do harm''-that i, 1t would have
tho etfee. OF inducing the American people TO
settle their quarrels, and unite against the
foreign foe who first insiduously fomented the
fratricidal strife for the purpose Of making OF
one people. two nations, and would now enter
upon the bloody arena for the purpose OF per-
petuating the division and ridding herself of her
ouly formidable maritime and commercial rival
in the Old World or the New.
The Richmond and other journals in rebel
dom have begun to find out the real policy Of
England, which Is that Of ncn-intervention;
that she fears her interfsrencs would unite
the whole. nation once again; that in that
event we would avenge cur suffsrinss
and serrows upon their primal author;
and that such is the tremendous development
of our military and naval power that there
is no knowing where the war against her
might stop. The cry q Britdania est de'ea-
da would 90 forth from the Rio Grande TO
the St. Lawrence. as Carthage est ds,eada, in
days q yoro, became the war-cry of the Rc-
man republic; aud, owing to the bad faith
and treachery Of the Carthagcnians, tho war
was carried into Africa till their city was
lcvellsd with the dust, and that once great mari
time power ceased TO exist. History repeats
itself. What has been may be. Not content
with appropristng all British North American
possessions east and west, the American repub-
lio perhaps would flt out an expedition TO give
freedom to hes white serfs in Ireland and even
to dictate a peace in the city Of London, after
oyerthrowing tho throne Of the Guelphs and the
ohgarchy. and establishing on the ruins Of monar-
ohy sister rspublic, with Bright or Golden at
the head. The conclusion at which British
statesmen haye therefore arrived 10 10 lot the
two sections OF The American people prosecute
the war to their mutual exhaustion, aud till
England has no longer any grounds for her self
ish fears. The gigantic magnitude OF our naval
aud military preparations, the extraordinary
resources exhibited from the very beginning in
men and money, and tho wonderful aptitude Of
| our population for arms by land and sea, have
startled and amazed John Bull, who, in reply to
tie appeals Of Southern enissares for aid, shrugs
his shoulders, shakes bis head and declares his
determination TO keep aloof.
