Speech Of Richard Golden on
American AHi,irs.
RICHARD ooBDEN ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Golden addressed great meeting Of
his constituents, at Rochdale on the Esd.
Mr.. Brown was to have been present, but
was prevented by domestic affliction.
MIR. Golden spoke at great length, his
leading theme being nonintervention in Eu-
ropean and American affairs. South rs in
other cases had not put forth list of their
grievances. The reason he thought, was be.
cause they had but one. They wanted to
consolidate, perpetuate, and extend human
slavery. Instead of stating their grievance,
they simply ask to be let alone, and it is
this cry that has secured SO much European
sympathy for the insurrection. He regard
cd the peaceable Presidential election as one
of the most sublime spectacles in the history
of the world, and said people that
could do that had given to the world a
spectacle such as never was before present
ell. They had resolved, notwithstanding
their great sacrifices q, that slavery should be
abolished. He reiterated his belief, and
with far greater emphasis than before said
that he did not believe lie should live to
see two independent states on the continent
OF North America. He considered the geo
graphical difficulties in the way of separa.
tion to be absolutely insuperable. He took
leave of the American subject by depre-
eating the ignorance which prevail in Eng
land in regard to the geography, resources,
ETC., OF the country, and by declaring that
lie wanted nothing done to carry out his
opinion, but was simply desirous by his Oh.
servations to turn the scales, so us to prevent
undue preponderance in favor Of the other
side.
