The Fight OF Albany, New York, for the Pos
session Of Mr.. Linooln--Rioh Revelations.
Gov. Dennison was more successful in cap.
turing the President at Columbus than Gov. Nor
gan was at Albany, II We may judge from the
following extract from o debate In the New

to entertain the President elect, rose to ques-
tion of privilege on the statement made by Mr..
Provost In his place yesterday, and went on to

portion of the committee contem plated resign

the published programme was agreed np-
on. He continued to denounce the other
members of the committee, denying that he had
made encouragement to dine at the Govtrnor'e.

executive to ruin the committee. They we're
informed by his Excellency that Mr.. Lincoln
had been invited by him and accepted private
dinner. He informed the Governor that Mr..
Lincoln was the guest of the Legislature, and
not his. But the Governor insisted that he
should dine with him, and decided to 60 to the
