A GREAT SPEECH.
Mr.. Golden on american Affairs.
SPEECH AT MANCHESTER.


On the 24th ultimo, Mr.. Golden de-
livered his annual address before his con :
stituents at Manchester. Three thous-
and persons were assembled, and the
Mayor of the city presided. Mr. Golden
devoted the greater part Of his speech to
consideration of American affairs, es-
peciaIly in relation to The attitude of the
British government toward the United
States. After few preliminary Obser-
vaiions on the necessity Of Parliamentary
reform and of the completion ofthe free
trade systemic spoke as follows:
TIE ENGLISH MANIA FOR IxTERyENrIoN.
Some people Say that there is s great
apathy and indifference In the country.
do not think there is any want Of in
teFest in Che country upon public affairs.
think there is slively interest in the
public proceedings Of the whole world.
and the public mind is very deDonstra-
tive. But what I-ObserVe is this, that
the attention of the country is rather
given to the affairs Of other nations than
TO its. own. iHear, hear We are some
thing as 9 nation IS you would be in
Rochdale as q borough, If your town
council were pretty generally occupied
in discussing the affairs Of Preston,
Blackburn, or Manchester, instead Of
their own. Hear bear That is the
state Of public opinion in this country,
and il ia curious enough that while we
are devOting more than ever Of our at
tention to foreign politics, we are still
constantly protesting The principle Of
ron Intervention. We have non-inttr-
vention upon our lips, bat there is al
ways desire for little intervention In
the corner of our hearts for some special
object or other abroad. do not charge
this against any particular party or gov
eminent. We have all CIR little projects
of Intervention. Some viii manage The
affairs OF the Americans othera will take
in charge the regulation Of the affairs Of
Poland Others are Interested Ia Italy /;
and so 1t is that in spite Of our PROBES
sions of non Intervention, We are in fact,
thiak, as far as my observation goes,
interfering more than ever 10 the sffsirs
of foreign countries. Sons people say II
is She telegram. Laughter. They say
that Renters Telegram IS 3 daily mcrn-
ing dram, and it so stimulates the palate
with some eoncussion Of the brain from
America, with great battle in Poland
or somewhere else, that you have not the
taste for the simple ailments Of which
yoar domestic affairs are made up.
