Mr.. WEBsTER's SPEECH.

We publish in tO-day's paper, Mr. Wsbsler's
great speech. delivered At fair in Rochester,
N. Y. Il contains a most slaiemanhke and
phlOsOphic view Of the importance Of sgrieuI-
iure and lie intimate connection with the CON-
meFcial and manufacturing interests Of our
county. Il explains also the operation ofouf
protective laws in forwarding this branch Of
oar productive industry. Upon the whole il Is
a most profoundly able view ofthe whole sub
Jet IN its entire Comprehensive range, and we
earnestly commend this noble production to
the attentive perusal Of ell our readers and es-
peeiaiy the farmers.
Ontbe same occasion mi subsequent speech
MI. Webster eloqueHuy deprecated The doc
trine ofrepudiaton andits disgraceful and in
furious influence upon our natural character
and interest.
Mr. Van Buren, was also present at this
fair and, notwithstanding that every effort had
been used BY his friends by giving notice Of
HE expected attendance, and other means
which they resortsd to in advance 10 give him
some sclat and obtain fof him some demonstra-
ton Unpopular feeling at bis presence. be was
received by the immense multitude with the
most chilling indifference. Mr.. Webster's
gigantic intellect completely shaded him into
insignifcanoe. He however made a speech,
ifsuch it could be called, upon a comparison
with Mr.. Websters; but instead Of launching
forth on the subject in style Of "a comprehensive
aatesnan,he made some lrifing remarks about
bic own experience in farming, his oat crops,
and bis retaining few acres Of bog land
The superannuaied old beau Of at least sixty,
even on tins occasion, when addressing the
farmers Of the country, that class Of persons,
who with their strong natural sense most des-
pise the ioppery and pretension ofmakish SEN
timentAlism, could not refrain from INDUCING
in disgusting display Of his devotion TO the
ladies'. He said;
"Of The particulars Of this exhibition, gen.
tlomen, it is not my province, nor am eompe-
tent TO speak. viii, therefore advert but "a
one branch Of II, and that is the exhibition
Of the fruits Of the handiwork ofthe fair daugh.
iers Of this section Of the country. [Cheers.I
It Is right that we should begin BY Offering Oui
gratitude to those who possess our hearts.
Do then say, and lsay It with heart iuu Of az
feclion, that no man can witness the eKhibi
ton ofthese fruits Of their labor, their industry
and skill without feelings ofgralitudei Of pIids
and the highest satisfaction.
