Col. Schade.
On Saturday evening last, we had the pleas.
ure of hearing a political address from this
gentleman. He arrived in town quite late, but
an audience of very respectable numbers met
and listened to him for nearly two hours. The
Colonel is plain, fair talker, slightly embar-
raised occasionally for want of an English
word to convey his ideas, but generally he is
correct in the use oflanguage. His speech was
delivered in modest, convincing manner, no
rant, no attempt at buffoonery his statements
were literally correct and his differences logic
any just. We have not space for review of
his remarks. He stated that his principal eff.
fort would be directed to the explanation of the
reasons why he, a German, should oppose the
Republican party, notwithstanding that party
had nominated one of his countrymen (Mr.
Kusch) for the second highest Office within their
gift: Republicanism had its origin or ground
work in the Know Notl,ingism of 81 and IS.
Bleeding Kansas was wrung in, and the K.
N. element was merged in German Admira

and the prospect is that no Territory will be
open in 1860 for the practical working of their
non-extension-of slavery plank, it is likely that
they will return to Know Nothingism. This
likelihood is confirmed by the effort t. nov ma.
king by Greedy and others to get up union o,
the opposition, North and South, and by the
steady encroachment of Massachusetts, Con.
necticut. and other Rel ublican States, upon the

friend-the DEMocRAcy. His speech was a
very satisfactory one, and We hope to hear him
