NV YoRx.-There seems 10 be quite change
ths feelings of portion Of the whig press of this
state, since the delivery of the speech Of Senstor
Fish, the 4th inst. 1t will be recollected that In
that speech Senator F. placed himself unreservcdly
and distinctly on the platform of the administration
Of Mr.. Fillmore, and avowed his determination to
sustain its policy without qualification. These
expressions brought down the disapprobation of
part Of the free soil whg press, and especially that
of the Buffalo Express, one Of the most prominent
wing papers in tho western part Of the State That
journal says, if it had been supposed that Governor
Fish stood on the ground which is ascribed in his
speech, no would have been defeated by majority
as decisive as that which elected him. Thus has
arisen discord in the ranks of the wing party,
which may possibly have q tendency to cloud the
probability of its at the next election. ALI
the wing papers of the State which coincide with
the views Of Senator Seward, before the nomination
of Gen. Scott by the wing conventions of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio had pledged themselves to his sup
port, though there has been but little said the
subject since those movements took place There
seems evident disposition, on the part of the free
soil whig press, to say rs little about the Presden
tial question as possible, from the fact that
the Congressional election is Of equal i'm
portance, as it affects more directly the issue
to be made upon the question of tho repeal
essential modification Of the Fugitive Slave law.
There is No doubt but the free soil wing party have
large majority in the state, and, unless there Is
consolidation Of the discordant factions OF the de-
mOcratic party, will carry the State by an over
whelming vote in the Congressional campaign
The most bitter antipathy is manifested againstthe
administra tionuOfl llmQre bythe. ALBANY Epe-
.tng Journal and that being the leading organ of
the whig party in the State, is fair index OF the
views Of the whole. OF the whole whig press, but
asmall portion stands upon conservative ground;
The Buffalo Commercial Advyt,ser-.he steady and
firm friend Of Mr.. Fillmore and his administra-
ton endorses, in highly complimentary terms, the
views of the speech of Senator Fish, and says II de-
sires TO see no more firm devotion to the constitu
ton and the laws Of the federal government than
are there inculcated. What will be the result Of
the endorsement of the speech Of Senator Fish
who was elected as the opponent OF the Fugitive
Slave law-by the conservative organs of the party,
remains to be seen IL cannot, however, have any
bearing the Presidential question, as it is not at
all probable that the friends Of MIR. Fillmore will
come into the support OF candidate whose views
and nomination endorsed by the party at whose
head stands Senator Seward.
PENNsYLvANIA.-The contest for the SUP temacy
the approaching election in this State is earnest
ly pursued by the two parties in the State. The
question ut issue is the maintenance of the compro'
mise of the last Congress. Governor Johnston, the
candidate of the whig party, is an avowed opponent
of the Fugitive Slave law, and his refusal to SAM
ton resolution of the legislature approving that
law, is used by his opponents as powerful argu-
ment against his election. With the democratic
party Colonel Biger is the head and 'front.' standing
upon the platform Of the compromise measures and
Of the Baltimore Convention. The democratic par
ty is united and will make powerful effort to take
the State from the whig party. The whig party
will suffer from the desertion of the native
American portion of the party, which is considera-
BILE, especially in the city Of Philadelphia Dis
satisfied with the nomination of General Scott for
the Presidency by the whig conve ntion, the native
Americans held a State Convention at Harris
burg, on the I'D inst. and presented a ticket for
their support. This party, it is well known is
favorable to the re nomination Of MIR. Fillmore,
and its dsanection will materially interfere with the
success of Governor Johnston. The trouble az the
convention which resulted III the defeat OF the chef
object of the calling of the convention, viz The
organization Of the party-was the work OF OH
cial recipients, whose object Is self gain The
dividing of the forces, as published yesterday,
will only bring out the whole party III opposi.
ton to Gen Scott, except that portion under
official patronage Had the wings acted with dis
erection, the whole party might have been brought
TO the support of their ticket. The Pnlladel pnia
North Anicr lean, the organ Of Governor j. an the
first to bring forward the name OF General scott,
by its endorsement Of the proceedings OF the Clay
ton dinner at Wilmington, Delaware, IN the fali OF
1850 battles earnestly for the success of its guber'
material candidate. but has no; one word to say in
behalf Of General Scott. The Pe,nsyicaSiIn, n
journal which has always occupied n conservative
stand speaks confidently Of the succe - of the demo-
cratic party. Though there was no direct express
sion in his favor by the Democratic Convention,
Mr. Buch anan il, without doubt, the choice Of a
large majority OF his party, for the nomination TO
the Presidency by the national convention, as may
be seen by the fact that his advocates received near
w. f not quite all the romina lions for local Offices
BY the late State Convention. There Is much
stronger feeling in favor OF General scott among
ha of z no ppyfo a "A
convention has been held at Pittsburg to give ex.
preston TO that feeling
KENTucKY.-It is long time since the poltical
feeling ran so high in Kentucky as ut the present
time and personal reflections upon the candidates,
by their opponents, are Of common occurrence The
democratic party, through their organs, are more
favorable tohe of the South; and its princi-
pal organ, the Louisville Donocsuf, denounces the
whole wLig party as the abolition party of the
state. Archibald Dixon, the whig candidate FOE
Governor has said in several Of his speeches, that
no action Of Congress, however oppressive upon the
slave States would be sufficient FOR that section
10 seek disruption Of the Union. One Of the strong
Get arguments uscd against the election Of Mr. Dixon,
by his opponents, is contained in the fact that h.
refused to go into meeting, immed itely after the
adjournment Of the constitutional convention, o.
express appreciation Of the compounds measures
There - n strong emancipation and colonization
feeling in the vhig par of the state, at the lac III
ci which stand some of the principal wings Of the
state, among whom is Hon. Henry Clay. Cassius
VI Clay is n candidate for Governor that ground,

sess in the state election, ard their candidate,
Lazarus w. Powell, il man Of considerable per-
,onal popularity. From present indications, there
is greater probability OF the OF The demo-
cratic candidates than for years past. The wing
isrty Is not committed in its choice FOE Pfest

ct Mr.. Webster would be preferred before any
