i- PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
We suppose It is little better than Idle to spec
tlate tipen the results of the Conventions now
about to be held." Of the crowd of Democratic
Candidates wa have been of opinion that Buchan
an would Hand the beat chance-but we are now
somewhat in the position of Attnt Patience, who
asod fi expfess herself on all undecided matters
in the words: "Well, sometimes Mink, and then
gain devtt bu Kb one can certainly know any
better by thinking abont It-though we do think
,ihat there are but three who stand any chance
with thennteiTifled,",vUj Cass, Buchanan, and
Douglass.; Cassf noso is pretty well out of point
already j Buchanan's 1 has got a twist, and Doug
lass looks rather ftir-because he is but little
known, and has fewer political sins to answer for
He will suit the progressives. He is all sorts of an
interventionist we believe, somewhat of a level
ler, and will make no HtUo stir If elected President-being
one of these geniuses who think "the
World Is a bore without a bostlo,
In tbo Whig Convention there is but little doubt
but the contest will be between Fillmore and
Scott. The prospects of the nomination of Mr.
riiimore grow brighter every hour, so far as the
public eye can discern. But we will not have the
temerity to egress an opinion as to who viU be
tbo nominee of tho Whig Convention; though
o snow vwy wen wno ntgu to be.
t We are disposed to let the matter rest till the
Conventions decide. A little calm before the hur-
ly-burvof the elections comes on will do no harm,
xuciy wui, proiMyf do an excitement and a bit
terness In the ensuing Presidential contest, "tran
seending" all we hare hitherto seen or suffered,"
snoum a certain nomination take place. Wo will
endeavor t avoid participation In such feelings
let the nomination fall on whom it may. We have
taken a decided but moderate part in the politi
cal operations wai ftrlng us to the doors of tho
NaUoaal Inventions, 5 When their decisions are
promulgated, and the political leaders cry "havoc
and let slip the dogs of war,"; then will be tho
tour of lie rise oJanderism in both politcal par-ties-and
everybody win be so mad, that tbey
will hardly be able lotend to the sober and
honest pursuits of life. We do not intend to get
cross about it, however adverse t& our notions
iliings may go-nor do we expect at this time, to
takes, very prominent character in the drama of
"The DevB to Pay," now about to be enacted
among ua.
STEAM Fit GOV. DUDLEY.
The Steamer Qov. Dadley, is again, at her wharf,
after having undergone a thorough, ropaMDf

: A SIGNIFICANT FACT. -A
very significant fact was alluded toby Mr.
Marshall, in his speech at the Fillmore meeting
in New York which is, that tho persons now so
violen tly opposed to Mr. Fillmore were all just as
ardently opposed to the passage of the Compro
mise measures to 1850. They were opposed, not
because the Compromise does not grant enough
to the South, but because It secured more Const!
tutional rights than they were willing to bestow.
Thus is it from day to dsy clearly shown, that tho
hostility to Mr. Fillmore is most violent among
those who are opposed to the Constitutional rights
of the South, which more and more entitle him
to the esteem and respect of tho citizens hero.
A Spanish Journal, the Croulca, printed in Now
Tork, says thai there is reason to believe there is
another expedition under concoction, for the par-
pose of wresting the Island from the Queen' of
Spain. We have seen hints of the same kind from
other quarters, for several weeks past, but have
puino connaence in tbem.. We do not believe
men can be found to engage in so hopeless and
loonsn a scucmo.
THE RAPPERS.

These are deplorable results, but are not nnconi
mon in the promulgatiop of any new illumination
on spiritual subjects. We apprehend the causo of
Insanity arises from continued attempts to master
subjects beyond the grasp of the human Intellect
Any one can form some idea of this affection, bv
contemplating immensity or space, or themes con
nected with the ubiquity and operations of Deity
tno foreknowledge ot tiod, or other liko subject;
utterly beyond human conception. They will find
the nerves of tho brain painfully distended and
feel tho necessity of "calling in their wandering
tuouguts."

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. .
A trial lately had In the United States District
Court for New York city, bjfore Judgo J.udson,
tends to show whore at least, a part of the money
comes from that supports tbo underground rail
rosd and other contrivances by which the Anti
slavery Society carry on their machinations sgalnst
the peace and prosperity of the South. A letter
from New Tork says:
M,r. Wm. Johnson, the treasurer, we believe
at all events one of the leading officers of the
Anti-slavery Society, was arraigned, tried, and
found guilty of the offence of coining and passing
counterfeit money. It appears that this worthy,
who was an English abolition emissary, had for
some years been in the habit of manufacturing
large quantities of spurious coin an occupation
for which his original calling as silver worker
particularly qualified him. He joined a church
and soon took a high rank in the association for
spiriting away fugitive slaves. Money speedily
became plenty in the coffers of the kidnappers,
and Mr. Johnson, thinking doubtless that ho was
doing uoa and himself service at tho same time,
waxed bolder and more reckless In his nefarious
pursuits. But the eye of Justice was upon him
and its hand eveptually grasped him. He pvovsd
a most excellent character, but in vain. Neither
his exemplary piety, his. philanthropy, nor his
philosophy could save him. The' evidence of his
guilt was irresistible. ' Ho was convicled, and
sent for a term of years to the State prison."
THE COMPROMISE.
The National Democrat says :
"The Democratic party of the United States,
North and South, East aqd West, aro almost a unit
on the Compromise as a final settlement of all the
agitating matters connected with the question of
African slavery within the boundaries of the Uni
ted States. The sentiment of the Democracy of
the nation shows that the finality policy is the
ono that must inevitably bo adopted. This poll
cy grows stronger and stronger every day in tho
Democratic party of tho Union.

A LATE GOLD STORY REFUTED.
The latest advices from South Australia, being
to tho 10th of January, state that tho reported
discovery of gold in that colony turned out to be
fabrication. Tho Government Commissioners
had a second timo proceeded with Mr. G. M. Ste
phen, the party by whom the reward had boen
claimed, to tbo spot Indicated, and upon testing
the soil were unablo to procure the smallest por
tion ot motal Upon a previous trial every spade'
ful had been found to yield gold, and tho com
missioners In their report consequently assert that
pieces must have been introduced on that occa
sion for the purpose of deception. With regard
to tho general state of tho country, it appears that
the disorganization caused by the departure of
tho inhabitants to Sydney and Port Philip had
been much exaggerated. Out of a populat ion of
67,000 the total emigration was not more than
5,000, and it is asserted that much of Hie prevail
ing commercial panic was to be attributed to the
natural collapse of the worthless mining and
buildjng speculation which bad been carried on
for the past year or twe.

FLORIDA INDIANS. A
The editor of tho Talahassce Sentinel has seen,
a letter from a reliable citizen of Tampa, dated
tho 23d ultimo, which states that one family of
Indians, comprising two warriors and seven others,
had come In for emigration, and! were to be sent
off by the nexrtrlp of the steamer James L. Day,
in connexion with, tho nine captured by Gen. Hop
kins, and turned over to Gun Blake. Two more
families were expected to be in for tho same pnr-
poserm time for the steamer-, and thus (says the
Sentinel) the work of emigration commences
small at first; we hope it will not be "beautifully
less."'
