AS for Mr.. Kendall we understand that his admins.
traton of the Post Office meets with general appreciation
lie is devoting himself to the duties of his Office with
interchangeable ndustryis courteous to all applicants
and IS determined to avoid in his department. all the sp

estng anecdotes about the Baltimore Convention which
we not at liberty to detail but which rebound very
much to his credit. We have also heard the anccdote
OF Wing Postmaster from of the largest cities of the
Union, who visited Washington few days ago He
was with Mr. X several daysengagcd upon the duties
OF his own office All his prejudices were shaken
by his better knowledge of the man--and he wrote
home TO of his friends, that he would be sur
prsed to learn, that though he had been with MIR X
for several days, he had not heard him growl nor
him btc-that his manners were on the contrary
c9urteous--and that he was of the first business
men he had met with. For ourselves we have no
doubt that MIR. X will bring the Department out of all
It's difficulties with much honor TO himself and with
much beiic ct TO his country.

"VIRGlNlA ELECTIONS
The electioneering campaign pending in Vire-

OF view OF any that has occurred since the organization
of the Government 1t is well known that for six wears
past MIR Van Buren, has been exerting all the means in
hspower, favored by the whole patronage the National
Governments TO bring Virginia into the Albany Regency

the support of the State in favor of his own ceya.
ton TO the Presidency. As long ago as Decem-
Der, 1880, when MIR Van Buren, was Secretary of
State, he visited Richmond while the celebrated Con.
vention in session for amending the Constitution
He was then ostensiby in good fellowship with
MIR. Calhoun and the leading politicians of the South:
but while protesting to be friendly relations with them
he went to Richmond TO intrigue for the succession to
the Presidency and to supplant Mr.. Calhoun at time
when 1t was supposed that General Jackson did wish
to be President but single term. q" In then common

neither Virginia. nor Mr. Richie will ever finally 90 for
any man north oftie Potomac. This was a remarkable
expression, and was noted at the time. Mr. Richie
has taken much pains TO arrange Virginia the side of
Mr. Van Buren,, but appehend that he will find the
task too great for HIM to effect and that he will finally
be compelled to yield to the popular will i'm that State
"Nevertheless have the efforts of Mr. Van Buren, and
his partzans, welding immense patronage been I'M
ceasg in his scheme of ambition. They exertcd them
selves last year to secure Legislature that would

Failing OF success in this they pracsed every art and
cxcrted the utmost endeayors to get up meetings in

all would not avail Virginia treto herself and
MT Leigh was reelected Senator Ever since thattime
uhring efforts have been made TO persuade the people

State Legislature. Their present Objects secure

send 10 Congress delegation that would voeI for Mr.
Van Buren,, in the final election of Prcsde should
devovc the House But in these particulars we be-
lieve they will be disappointed Virginia will sus-
tain MIR. Van Buren, for President
The fact is, and it in vain to attempt TO disguise
1T, that the issue pending in Virginia, is between
Mr. Van Buren, and Judge White. In of the Dis

them, more or less So where the Jackson party have
contryed TO mask tie true question: they have best
cecded in carrying candidates who in favor of Mr.

There cannot be doubt of it, and the result will be of
immense Importance the decision of Virginia always
gives powerful tone to all the other Southern States
The elections in Virginia. therefore, emphatcally claim
the attention of the whole nation"
The "Centlnel will now be satisfied TO how little
purpose he has 'eaehed upon his post The result Of
our recent Elections has alsicd all his calculations
IT the issue was he states to be- between Mr. Van
Buren, and Judge White, the die has been decided

White will not ''preva over the Vice President, by an
overwhelming majority" lie will not prevail al in
Nirginiaand doubt extremely whether if he starts
at all, his triumph will not be confined to Tennessee
alone.
But we going beyond the purpose we had in view
We have come forward to correct the misrepresentation
which relates to ourselves. If Mr.. V. Ii. came to
Richmond for the purpose OF Intriguing for the
sion TO the Presidency, he is certainly the most silent
magician who ever waved his wand. We much

over, intimate with many Of the politicians with whom
he associated Not a word did we ever learn from him
or from then upon the subject Of the successonnota

us--and socmny pledge ourselves to the fact that
at time before since has the slightest alluson been
made as To any such arrangemenor to the question of
the succession We have never been under any pledge
to Mr. V. I've have exchanged not a word or line
upon his clectionand have the best reasons to be-
lieyc, that he has been much calumnated about his
alleged lntrigucs for Office with other persons upon
hundreds Of other charges--Mr Adams will also disco
yer how much he has mistaken Virginia and ourselves.
We have not bounded our views by the Potomac. We
