 FRANKFORT, Ky. July 27th, ls44. To Me Editor ofthe .Albany Argus:
 SIR-My attention has this moment been drawn to letter published in your paper the 18th inst purporting to have been written by you Maysville correspondent, in which among other things, It IS stated that the defection of Governor Letcher. (present Governor,) and many other influential Whigs, cannot fail greatly to weaken Mr. Gays strength, if it does not wrest from him the State of Kentucky.
 Let me tell you, in the most emphatic terms, your correspondent has grossly deceived you in this statement, as far as am concerned, the aefection here imputed to me in utterly false and untounded, having not the semblance of truth about. On the contrary, have been the warm and untiring friend of Mr. Clay for quarter of century and am 30 still! There is no man living in whose integrity and patri- sotism haven unbounded confidence. So far from being opposed to him, would rather see him Pres ident than any man in the Union. It is my most deliberate opinion that his election at this time IS called for by every considera tion dear to freemen is highly essential to the best interests of the peo- pie of the United States and at the same tune, absolutely necessary tethe safety of the Union it. Misrepresentation on this subject, Henry Clay is the very man (and no other) who ought in my view at this time to be called to the head of the nation. He has the wisdom, the experience, the honesty, in short has exactly the right head and tho right
 
 to protect all it's great interests. These are my sentiments, never concealed or disguised. How your correspondent could have gotten it into his miserable brain, that had any defection about me, is more that can imagine. Why sir, in the dark est hour of Mir. Clays political fortunes, had the honor, though quite humble to be one of his first friends. saw and knew perfectly we'll, how cru- ely how villainously, and unjustly he was calum- niated by the whole combined pack of heartless l revlers, who were bent on his destruction ifpogs- ble. did not then desert him or his cause and 1 now in the day of his prosperity, when tine people are waiting anxiously for the proper moment, (the fall eiection0 to award their distinguished bene. factor the most glorious triumph ever decreed to mortal man, and at the same time to pronounce | just judgment of condemnation upon his accusers, shall hardly, on the of such victory, be found going over to the enemy. must beg the favor of you to do me the justice to insert this note in your paper immediately. Very respectfully, your ob't servant, R. F. LETcHEn.
 Idn hcident.-When the procession from Horn. by, Steuben county, was coming in at the great Whg gathering in Corning, on the 18th ult several of the locoocos who were acquainted with the cit- Eens of Hornby, declared in the hearing of some of the Wings of this village that about ono third of that procession were locofocos. They were so sure of this that one of the locos inquired if such was not the case, and informed that they were saOs Locos n0ec.
 Here Ney come 1.-The Newark (Ohio) Gazette, of the 25th inst, informs us that gentleman from Dresden, Muskingham county, who in 1S40 was an ardent and enthusiastic supporter of MT. Van Buren ,ays he has left the locos and intends supporting Ciay and Frelinghuysen He says there are twenty others in that little town alone who have deserted The Polk and Texas Standard, and wilt go the Whig ticket next fall; among whom are the Presi. ent, Secretary and Treasurer of the old Van Buren Club of ls4o.-Any chonges-eh?
 NAUGHTY WIFE-A SINGULAR CASE. .. A singular case is now pending in the Chancery Court of New York. tis a suit brought by H. D. Crugan to get possession of his wife, who had left him, and fortune of some $500 ,OOO. Crugan was a lawyer when he married, but gave up the profes. sion and went to live in Herkimer, at his wifes re- quest. Here they quarrelled and finally separated. The principal complaint against the lady is, that 'he would not let him have wines, horses &c., ex- cept when she chose to be gracious.
 .MarTiage.-I never knew marriage expressly Tor money that did not end unhappily. Yet man. ging mothers and heartless daughters are continu. ny playing the same unhappy game. believe hat men more frequently marry for love than wo- nen. because they have free choice. am afraid o oconjecture how large portion of women marry who think they will never have better chance, md dread being dependent. Such marriages no ioubt, sometimes prove tolerably comfortable, but St tea.er numoer would nave been lar happier sln- gle. If may judge by my observation of such matters, marrying for home is a most tiresome way ofgetting iiving.-Jats. ChiIds.
 O6scure FGrmer.-The third party (Abolition- stsl now say that Charles Rurchard, whose noble sfter, renouncing their party and coming out for lr. Clay, we published week of two since, is lan of very moderate standing" and was as 06- ire fvAley resides ta Abe tOsCR." An obscure rmer, indeed f an obscure farmer. in little ( ,untry town in Central New York can write such letter as that, the distinguished faFmers must be Il men. HuFrah for the New York farmers!
