THg BEDFORD ELEcrIoN.--The Harrisburg
Keystone the leading organ Of The Administ, alton
party, at the Capital OF Pennsy wanna had the fol-
lowing remark, IN the number published on the day
OF the Bedford special election:
." We have no doubt but that Mr.. NJ Donald, ".
B. will be trlumphanty elected. A friend at our
elbow says mis- majority will be over 300"
The above being the confident expectation of
the parry in that State; the majority, notwith-
standing, of more than six hundred for the Harri-
candidate, must throw consider able light upon
the progress of opinion, and the prospects OF the
Peoples candidate for the Presidency, in Pennsyl-
ysnia. There is no doubt but the Loco Fooo party
did expect at least 200 majority They were bea.
ten by more than COO with pretty full turn out OF
the voters. From such facts, the infcrences are
difficult. The result of this election is said to
be gall and hard cider TO the supporters of Van
Burenism. - B2H Pat

LKTTISG 60 70 TAKs a BETTER HoLD-M Mr..

that his continuance in Office is not likely to prove
benefit the Administration, whatever it may be
to himself hence, that weight has been cut
loose, by consent o. parties, from sinking concern,
10 the hope that it may possibly gain some degree
OF buoyancy, in public opinion, and also that the
well known qualities Of Mr. Kendall, "a the cen
ductor OF an inscriptions, violent partizaH Journal

these means and by all others that can be bronght

present he fetlEes virtually, weundersiand it, on
leave of absence. He remarks thar if he supposed
his resignation could endanger tie Government

cling to oiice as he would TO life. To This it night
probably be added, with at least equal truth, that
II Mr. Postmaster General Kendall, had been GER
tain of the reelection Of Mr. Van Buren, without
this temporary eating loose, he would have chung
to efhce as he would to life."
The small matter of profit from the Extra Globe,
which Messrs Blair and Rives have, in their extra
generosity, offered to Mr.. Kendall is good one
