BEDFORD INQUIRER. [ BEDFORD, Pa. Friday Jlamliisr, Sv. iiO, IS6O. "FEARLESS AND FREE." D. OYER—Editor and Proprietor. Tbe last Gazette is sorely exercised iu try iug to account for the defeat of its party in Bedford County, at the last cl ection, when we • carried thoConnty by '2Bl votes over tbe llead- 1 ing ticket, and bv 181 votes over all opposi- ; tion. It try? to make it appear that the di- ' minished vote of its party since the October election was cause'! by its voters staying at home. Tuc cause of tbe diminished vote of its paity is as follows: At tho first election nearly every Dell man (and there were S6 of them) voted for Foster, and they voted for their own candidate at the last election; a great uiauy of its friends who voted for Foster changed to Lincoln at the second election, and some few stayed at home, as they always do. We lost as many voters on account of our tri umph, as the Loerfooo party did on account of its defeat. Wbv, the Bell men gave them the County at the first election. If they bad voted for u?, as they did for the Locofoco?, we would have'earried the County, high and dry. As a matter of course, wa leave to the Gazette the gratification rf showing the oauscs of its Datty's defeat. We have had some experi ence in these things ourself, and oan appreci ate its pbeelitiks ! As to the typographical mistake that Lin coln bad 181 T( t:s over Foster, it may make the most of it. We bad written it "overall,"' and the compositors made it Foster. The ta- j bio in our paper of that week, and the article i itself showed it to be a mistake. Iu the satnc paper in which it ot'empts to make capital against us ia regard to 'his overs'ght, in an article headed "NuliiSoation i:t Pennsylvania," in which it attempts to libel the North, it says, "some nine or ten of tbe Southirn Stites" "have passed laws or had judicial decisions nullifying ODO of the compromises of 1350, the law for the reuditton of fugitive slaves." Now this is a lie, whether it intended to say Xouthira or Northern.

Mr. Crever also preached in tho even ing. Tho Church is a very beautiful edifice, and is called "BarnJollar Church," in honor of tbe venerable Jacob Baiudoilar, who built it at a cost of over 51,000, and presented it to tbe congregation.

COBB SHOULD BE TURNED OUT. — The St Louis New?, a licll and Everett paper,; does not liko the retention of Mr. Cobb in the Cabinet. It suys: "Mr. Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, denies the report that he inteuds to resign bis seat in the Cabinet. At the same time he openly abeta the Seccssiou move* merit iu Georgia, the objeet of which is to sev er his native State from the parent Confedera cy, and erect it into a foreign power. At this moment, Mr. Cobb is an avowed enemy of the Union of which h* is a Cabicet Minister, and .is scon as Georgia shall have withdrawn from the Confederacy, he will be a foreigner. Is it right that such a man should be a member of tbe Cabinet? - During the Nullification strife in 1832, Mr. Calhoun resigned tho Vje Pres ideooy to sido with bis S.ate. llut Mr. Cobb is iuespable of such an act rf delicacy BDd consistency, ilo clings to bis office in the Union at the very lime that he urges his State to withdraw from the Uoion."

The question cf the acceptance or non-accep tance ot the resignation of the South Carolina offijo holders is stilt in abeyance. None ot the resignations have as yet been definitely acted upon. The resignation of United States Marshal Hamilton, ot South Carolina, was re ceived to-day by ibo President, and placed on tile for future consideration. The Presidcut does .not appear to be much coucerued about the proceedings of iho coming session of Congress, lie is of opiuion that it will no; be so violent as the lust.

OFFICE-HUN TERB AT CHICAQO. CHICAGO, Nov. 22, 1860—Mr. Haiulin, Vice President elect, arrived this morning, and took quarters at the Tremont House, where Mr. Lincoln is stopping. At about ten o'- clock this forenoon they were introduced to each other, it being the first time they have met since their nomination. Although they were onoe members of the same Congress, Lin coln in the House and Hamlin in the Senate, they never before formed an acquaintance, or even had an introduction. Mrs. Lincoln, at tended by Mrs. Dodge, of Spring6eld, Mrs. Don Piatt, of Ohio, and GeD. Robinson, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Mr. Gage, landlord of the Tremont, who introduced the parties, were present duriDg the ceremony. Mr. Linooln and Mr. Hamlin, upon meeting avoided all stiffuess or formality, and eutered into a social etyiversa tioo, which was soon in terrupted by an invitation to visit the famous Wigwam, where they were nominated. The invitation was accompanied by the announce', oicnt that this famous building is about to be torn down, and therefore the visit must be made at ouce. which was done. The Presi dent and Pice President elect, accompanied by Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Piatt, aud attended by several gentlemen, accordingly entered car riages and proceeded to tho Wigwaiu. After a short tarry, tbo party visited the uew post office, custom Louse, aud United States Couit building, and returned to their hotel.. An unusual number of political vultures are in the city from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, New York, lowa, Miunesota, and Massachusetts, and a large Dumber fiorn differ ent parts of this State. They seem deter mined to rush upon Mr. Liocolu, aud occupy his timo from more important duties with Mr. liattilin and others, whom ho came to see on private business. Rut Old Abo set his face against seeing them to-day, and fixed tbe hours between ten and twelve to-morrow, when he and Mr. llamliu will receive callers. Hen are bore witbpocktts full of Cabinets, and any quantity of highly importaut ad vice. Mr. Hamlin will leave here to-morrow eve ning fur Wisconsin, on a visit to Senator Do little. He will re'urn on Saturday or Monday and proceed to Washington, via Cleveland, Ohio, paying a visit to Ssuator Wade cu route. Mr. and Mrs Lincoln will probably return home on Saturday. Indiana is harmonizing. Mr. Lane, Gover nor elect of tbe State, had an ambition for the United Btates Senate, but a pressure Jra.s been made upm him to remain Governor for two years, and then succeed Bright, and allow Ca leb bunch to succeed Filch ou the 4tb of March next. 1 his progiamme poiuts ti Schuyler Collax as the Indiana candidate for the Cabi not. lie will be Postmaster General or noth ing.

It will then undoubtedly bo offered to Mr. Bate-, of Missouri, who may accept it, if ne gotiations now going on are successful. AN AMATEUR DIRT EATER. Mr. Dougli*, in his speech at New Orleans, congratulated his auiieuce en the fact that ibo "Conservatives had a majority in both branches cf Congress." When it is recollected that soven-eightbs of these "Conservatives" repre sent the ptrtzans who preferred defeat from tho Republicans to au election who seceded from the National Conventiou siuiply because there was a probability cf bis receiving the nomination for the ITesidenoy this remark shows that the little giant has within himself all the qu.tlilies which consiituto a first class Hit tearing doughface. That he should re joice because tbe tire eaters under Yancey sud others, who broke up two conventions iu order to insure bis defeat, have the power to cootrol tho uetion of Congress for a brief period, ar gues lit tic for his much vaunted tuinly spirit. These "conservatives" will have a majority in the United States Senate, and if Mr. Douglas Was presented to them for a leading position ou an important committee, they would tira from I- u with the same loathing and disgust that they did at Chat lesion and Baltimore.— .Mr Douglas is aware of this, and yet ho de grades himself and humiliates bis friends by rejoicing in the prospect of his traduoer.s gain ing a temporary ascendancy in Congress.— Biucc suou is the effect of democratic associa tion on a nun who possesses the ability to make ana me tor himself, we do not wonder that- the veiy title of 'democrat' has become odious in the estimation of the people of the tree North. It really seems as if tho support ot slavery aggression by a Northern niitt bas tbe efleit to paralyze his sensibilities that ho is incapable of receiving insult from his political masters. If the treatment which Mr. Douglas Las received from tbe South, within the last Bix utotstjs, cannot drive him from its service, it w tuld be difficult to conceive what amount of ill ustgo wcul l have tint effect. It is certain that whatever service he may render to the slavery propagandists hereafter, must be a mere labor cf love. They (iospiso him too tuuafl to trust Liut with any responsible posi tion, and if he follows theui in tho future it mu.-t be iu the eapaoity of at: unwelcome oautp follower and a suspected intruder.— Pitls'nirg Gn ze tie.

Those readers of newspapers including Governors aud old and young public function i arie*, who depend upon tho JYew York Herald , | for their supply of faots, are continually bluo . deriug. That journal startod the slander that ! Pennsylvania had passed a lawJiuterLriug with | the execution of the Fugitive Slave law of i 1850. Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, swal lows this as truth, an i comments on it in the : letter we published yesterday. Other South- I eru Governors and nearly all the Southern edi- i j tots, are now repeating this Calumny. The simple truth is that Pennsylvania has ; passed no law at all in reference to negroes or I fugitives, since tho Fugitive Slave law wis j passed by Congress. There was a law passod I by our Legislature in 1817, to prevent the | stizuro of fugitives "in a riotous, violent, tu- j multuous and unreasonable manner." But it says nothing about their arrest in a legil and ; proper way. This law was signed by that j sound old Democrat, Governor Shunk, and it was incorporated into the new code, which was revised by three equally sound Democrats, aud was approved by another sound Democrat, i Governur Packer. It docs not in the least interfere with the proper execution of the Fugitive Slave law, aud it would uover have been pretended that it could so interfere, ex cept by an unscrupulous caluuiinator like the The New York Herald. There is no State where thcro is a more willittg obedience to the federal laws than Peuusylvania. The Fugitive Slave law has been better executed here than iu any other State in which cases have arisen under it. Ttie Legislature has doue uotuing whatever to iuterfere with the recovery Qt i slave property escaping into Pennsylvania.— Pfula. Bulletin. South Carolina Secession—The Views of the Administration.
