Hon. N. }. RUsCH AT FREMONT ia LA
large and intelligent audience greeted the Repub.
lican candidate for Lieut.. Governor in fremont
Hall on Saturday evening. Although ii had been
arranged by our German fellow citizens that Mr.
Rusch should address them in their own language.
considerable portion Of the evening was occupied
by him in English, he not having had ON opportu-
nifty of filling his afternoon appointing Mt In this
speech he overhauled some Of the principal planks
in the Democratic platform and showed them to be
for the most part checked, rotten and worm. eaten
His earnest st. aghtfor manner, coupled as it
is with true farmcr-like moiesty, made an i'm
preston in his favor not confined to the limits Of
his own party. In conclusion he addressed one Of
the most convincing forcibe and thrilling appeals
to his countryman in German it has ever been our
pleasure to listen to. Abandoning all strokes of
severity he spoke to them in conciatory and afec-
tionate terms-aludng to their strong native sen.
timents of genuine democracy and their peculiar
liability to be ensnared by that name as used BY
political party in this country and all the powers
conferred upon them being thus diverted from their
legitimate aim reminding them of the words OF

and extravaganza Of the Buchanan administration.
and its contemptuous disregard of the rights of
naturalized ctzens-and upon other false pretences
OF sham Democracy, each of which was laid bare to
popular inspection and consequent disgust. Finally
he reached the very hears-strngs Of the German
character-heir love of family and kindred, at all
times intense and sincere-and pointed out in warm
language the only way by which their influence
could be properly exerted to the present and pros.

Many business men do not seem to fully appreciate
the advantages of having their names constantly
before the public in the Using columns OF the
newspapers. The Utica Observer, speaking of this
subject, says:
"lt is often the that men come into our office
and inquire for the papers published in such place.

the desired information. Not long since a gentle
man was looking for the names and address of an
Albany firm to which he desired to make an assign
