Mn. VAN BUREN's ROCHESTER, SpEEcu.-We
find ourselves suspected IN various quarters of
having done injustice TO the Ex-Presdent in our
report Of his remarks at the great Agricultural
Fair at Rochester. We beg to be acquitted Of
any responsibility for his sfailure-if he made one ;
for we did our best, under the circumstances to
report his remarks rerbatim, and all who heard
them will bear witness that we gave at least their
purport with al! desirable accuracy. The follow
ing comment by a correspondent Of the National
Intelligencer is decidedly more pointed, and in
every respect better, than the speech itself:
In the speeches at the Rochester g.icultura Fair there

towards the of the positions they have ed and
others towards the interest and eght of what they
uttered. Nv GRASGER's, Gov. SEwARDs, aud Mr.. w ED
