AfraF in Kentucky.

Hon. Garret Davis, the Wing Member OF Con
gress being opposed by Robert Wicklifie, known
as the young Duke, son Of the senior Mr.. Wick
life, Of Lexington, man OF ulbounded wealth
and great personal influence. The WickEtfes
have protested to be Wings, but are personally H.
imical to Mr.. Clsy-a fact which doubtless led TO
to the selection of Charles A. for Postmaster &c
neral. Robert is supported IN this contest by all
the Loco-Focos. the bakers dozen Of Tylerites,
and as many Wings as his two faces and the
great influence Of the Wlckhtfe family can bring
to his support, so that the result is really doubt
full. As usual, where one party endeavors TO keep
Political questions out OF sight, personal acrlmony
has crept H. and the contest has been very bit
ter one WickIities supporters have trumped up
a story that the District was Ge-rymandered 10
secure Nj Daviss reelection. This charge has
led to a deadly ARRAY between Cassius NJ. Clay
mot son OF Henry Clay Wing member OF the
last Legislature, who was implicated by one OF
the 2. VI. Generals Mail contractors named
Brown in the Gerrymanderlng business. The
Loco. foco account OF the conflict will be found
In another column. As this has already begun to
circulate through the country we think 1t but Just

and just gentleman as breathes, that equal pub
