Hamiiten Fish Eleetod to the United Statcs Senate. Yesterday was the day appoiated by resolution, for the Legislature of this State to make anotker effort to elect a United States S-nator in the place ot the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, whose term of office expired with the last session of Congress. After @ very protrected session, the vote was taken, and ex-Gov. Fish was declared to be duly elected. The discussion on the subject was quite interesting, es will be seen by our telegraphic report. je of the Washington Unior—Retircemert of Mr. Ritchie—Cetone! Donelson and Gene- ral Armstrong—Unien of the Democracy fox the Presidential Contest. Mr. Ritchie, the venerable editor of the Washing- ton Unton, in noticing some of his covemporaries, alludes to the statement recently made by one of our correspondents, with respect to the sale of that journal to Col. Donelson. It may be remembered that thirly thousand dollars was the amount named asthe purchase money. Oa this statement, Mr Ritehie says that he will pay the New York Herald @ premium of more than nine thousand dellars—a eum nearly twice as large as Barnum recently of- feved for proofs of statementa, or inuendoes—if we will insure him thirty thousand dollars, as the price received for the Umtom establishment. Now, this is about es difficult as it is to prove anything con- cerning which we have not the most ample and satisfactory proofs; but this we may say, that if we could “ insure” Father Ritchie “ thirty thou- sand” as the price received for his establisk- ment, we would do it with the utmost plea- sure, and without any anticipation or desire for a fee or reward. Our only regret is, thet we cannot do so, for the lofty position of a great political edi- | yor shouki produce something more substantial than mer glory, upen which only the name, and not the body, of a man caa feed.

To euch motives may be traced the re- cent attacks on Mr. Marcoleta, and, it is to bs hoped, t their farther prosecution will not render neces- wary © tull exposition of their nature, as weil as of the olitieal designe of the pereons whe cherish them. It # most unjust to asesil. in public priate—when ‘rom his position he cannot well appear in his own defence— the representative of a republic with which we are united by the bonds of triendsbip, fraternity, and common interestr. The man who bas earned aod m@- ceived the confidence of the government of such a re- public. is entitied to every reapect, and thet govern- ment is tally eompetent to judge if Mr. Marcoleta is worthy and able to represent it at Washington.

Our reasons for thinking thus, are deduced from principles. Mr. Corcoran, and many a bank« er besides him, who hae money, but not the ring- mg political currency of brains, always ready for metaot coinage, can well aflord to be equally gene- rows.

Now that we have taken the pains to bring his case to the attention of the administration at Washington: in a public manner, we hope that no time will be lost in extending to Mr. Petty the protection to which he is entitled, and that he will be aided ia his defence to regain his liberty.
