1HE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. Washing
ton, April 3O.-Ihe patriots all over the coun-
try who edit the newspapers and hold the
offices OF the present pro slavery dynasty seem
to be greatly exercised in mind over the quail
ihcations and prospects of two of the promi-
nent candidates for the Presidency. They are
exceeding civil toward Mr.. Buchanan, and
proiuse i'll their admiration of the present in
cumbent of the office. They are wasting their
efforts. They are bowling and scraping at
vacancy. Neither of the gentlemen named
can be nominated. Mr. Buchanan has bud
ded, bloomed, and gone to seed, quicker than
any candidate ever did before him. The
engineers of the Nebraska rascality will not
harken to the proposition that a Northern
outsider shall ccme in and run awav with the
prize they have debauched themselves to oh
tain. If neither Pierce nor Douglas can get
the nomination, they will combine their forces
to have Southern man nominated, SO that at
the next turn OF the wheel the nomination
will come North again for the benefit of the
crowd.
The most probable alternates, now, are Mr.,
Hunter and Mr.. Rusk. There are. however.
objections to both, and some vet unsuggested
name is quite as likely to turn up the noml-
nee as either of them. This gloomy uncer-
tiainty as to where to look for the coming
leader of the slavery extension host must be
very distressing, we know, to the band of
patriots in question But they cannoS be re-
lieved before the first week in June, by any
! possibility. They must be content with the
! reflection, that when the nomination is made
they will be able to applaud its wisdom with
entire unanimity, and bless their stars that
one so admirable and so suspicious should
have been made.
AS to Republican candidates, everything is
yet in a state of INDIGESTION and fermenta-
ton. The feeling daily strengthens that it
is impossible that the free States can lie
brought to the position OF voting to perpet-
uate Slavery in Kanzas, and that when the
vital issue oil the canvass is fully perceived,
that the Northern sentiments of Indignation
and hostility at the consummaton Of the au-
daclous outrage OF selling out Free Territory
to Slavery, will sweep all before it, 1t is felt
to be libel upon the philanthropy, upon the
manlness, upon the intelligence, of the North
ern people to doubt it. If there is any such
thing as a moral quality, sense of Justice,

years constant labor) was made in Holland, and
exhibited first in Brussels, where it wonthe admit
ration of crowds Of the musical dilettante, scien-
tiic mechanics, and lovers of amusement, and is
now on his first visit to America.
A peculiar characteristic of the Automaton
consists in the 4exibility of the body, though of
a weight of two hundred pounds the motion of
its head and yes,whch turn in all directions, and
appear to take notice of the company. When
there is sentimental passage to perform, it lifts
its eyes it felt theintention of the composer
The clarionet has eighteen keys, and is tuned
from fiat to A fat, the Automaton having play
ed his part of the solo, while the piano is playing,
removes his mouth from the clarionet and appears
as if counting the measure, and in due time com,
mences again.
Aside from the pleasure to be derived from lis
tening TO the tunes of the clarionet in the hands
of the Automaton after the close of the concert
