evening unanimously presented Hon. EGBERT
BENSON. Alderman Of the Third Ward for Aims
House Commissioner. Aid. Benson, being waited
on At his residence by a Committee and duly aP
prissd Of the nomination, promptly declined IT,
stating that while he would cheerfully permit the
u,e Of bis name by the Wing party whenever
necessary, yet in this case. believing the Wing
candidate would be elected, he asked TO be ex'
cased considering the arduous nature Of the duties
Of the station, and the indefatigable labor which
would be required Of the new Commissioner IN
view of the Reforms TO be effected In thar depart
ment He added, that he had thoughts OF retiring
altogether from public life, and hoped ne would DC
allowed TO decline this nomination.
Mr.. Benson's wishes being communicated to the
ro,veption, were deferred to, his name Withdrawn
and JOSEPH Il. TAYLOR, formerly Alderman o.
the Fourteenth Ward. was nominated in his stead.
Mr.. TAYLOR has for many years been an active and

~ The meanness Of the above falsehood has
already been sufficiently exposed in our columns
on its earlier preparation by the American It's
repetition now, in full view of all the facts must
sink tina, paper beneath the regard OF honorable
men.
The attempt to clothe the wehknown lie IN
words which could be defended as literally true
has proyed an utter failure. The Tribune NEVER
in ann case abandoned tie regular Wig tieket.-
That ticket was borne at the head OF our columns
in November, lsll until the polls had closed. No
iutimation was ever given by The Tribune that any
other than the regular Wing candidates would or
should receive single Wing vote. SO much for
the abandoned Rh3s paper part OF the story
1t is very true that at the polls in Nov ls44 the
ballot handed us by the regular Wing votedistn'
butor contained the names OF the Native local can
didstes, including VIM. w. Campbell for Congress-
whom we had long known and esteemed as an az
dent Whig and intimate friend OF Gov seward De-
tween whom and Ely Moore we were compelled 10
choose or throw away our vote OurWmg irenns
at the polls and elsewhere assured US that, by vot
inc this local ticket we should secure the entire
Native vote for CLAY and FILLMORE, and send
them ont of the City great way ahead Thus urged
and having practically no choice for we think there
was not at our poll ballot containing the regular
Wing nominee for Congress and Legislature I'M
less in Loco Foco hands, we voted one OF the bal
lots printed under the direction Of the Wing Gen
eral Committee and distributed through the regular
Wing channels to the exclusion of any other-said
ballots containing the Native names for local can
didates Surely if there was any abandonment Of
Wing candidates in this, it was done by the regu-
lar organization of the party, and not by individual
voters We voted beyond doubt, the same ticket
with the mass Of the Wing local candidates them
selves, and precisely as they wished us to vote.
The American proceeds to quote note from Mr..
McElrsth, date suppressed written probably ten
wears ago declining to act on Native Committee
but protesting good will &c. This is introduced
with flourish as written by one who in part con-
trolls and conducts The Tribune" There is not
reader in Rochester, any more than here, who does
not know that, for whatever is distinctive in the
views or doctrines Of The Tribune, there is but one
person responsible and that the introduction OF an
others name is Intentionally deceptive. Enough.

Dear Sir: 1t may be interesting TO your readers
to know that HENRY CLAY arrived at home by the
cars from Frankfort yesterday morning, looking
more finely than have ever seen him before. His
vigor seems wonderfully renewed by his Winter OF
iourneying and relaxation at the South.
To-day, however, has come the bloody news Of
Buena Vista, and the death of bis gallant son,
Lieut. Col Henry Clay, Jr. must have gone deeply
to his heart There is great mourning here as
three of the slaughtered officers already reported
Col Mckee and Lieuts. Vaughn and Clay were
from Lexington, while many anxious hearts here
are looking for their beloved ones among the 1OO
killed and wounded whosenam are notyet known
The weather is now delightful and promising
though the season is late. and thus far extremely
unpleasant. Snow on the 18th II believe 1t was
from ls to "a inches deep, Yours in haste, c.
Great efforts are being made and great enthu'
siam manifested, favor Of the projected Railroads
to Cincinnati, Louisville and the Kentucky River
Works which, if completed, will awaken the dor
mant energies Of Lexington business, and soon
make the place an important one
