NKw YosK.-For some time past, and before the at
tempt to elect Senator In Congress to supply the
place Of Hon Daniel B. Dickinson the whig press Of
the State was very confident that ex Governor Hami
ton Fish would receive the compliment without dis
senting whig voice In the Legislature. The Albany
Journal taking the lead was followed by the Tribune
OF this city and all the abolition whig prints in the
state, which kept up constant accommodation OF
MS claims from the day Of the organization Of the Ls
gifsture until the 4th inst when the act to be
contaminated Being regularly nominated by the
Fish would after the formal nomination receive the
unanimous vote Of the whs members. The failure of
nomination, has thrown the party into the grsatsst
possible consternstoni ana already the anahsmss of

Gov Fish has not, Of late expressed any view upon
the questions which so lately agtsted the oountry but
from the fact that he is and supported by the
abolition portion OF the whig party the portion
OF the party have opposed him. knowing that he would
not receive the support of the other portion If his
views were not their own.
MAssAcHusErrs-A great difficulty exists in this
