SPEECH OF MR, GENTRY,
OP TENNESSEE.
Extract of a speech doltvered tntho House
of Representatives an tho 14th lust., by Mr,
Gentry of Tennessee. In tho first part of his
speech, Mr. Gentry ably combats tho propo
sition of Mangum, Stanly, and others, that
tho Whig party should nominate and run their
candidate for tho Presidency, without a de
claration of principles. Ho then speaks thus,
in relation to Gen Scott's beleg Dominated,
evon with a suitable Platlhrm;
I have not Intended to destroy tho Whig
party as tho honorablo gentleman from North
Carolina (Mr. Stanly) Insinuated In reference
to somo gontlemnn who havo acted with me.
Porhaps ho embraced mo among the number.
I do not know, nof do I care. I am seeking
to reform, purity, nnd nationalize tho party';
atul when I have mndo an honest cflbrt for
that object nnd Hilled, then tho next highest
duty which 1 shall doom Incumbent upon mo
will bo to destroy It as thoroughly os I can.
And I will perform It to tho utmost extent of
my power. I do not blink at questions. In
dealing with political questions, It has been a
rulo with mo throughout Bib never to deny
the truth, nor assert, that which was fhlso.
And If tho declaration whloh I linvo mado bo
treason, mako tho most of It, Bow mo out
aftlio party, as quick as you please. I In
tend to stay In It so long as a patriotic and
honorablo man may stay, and to him who Is
lclt behind when I lcavo It, I say—good byo.
[Laughter.] Crushing, blighting, annihila
ting popular indignation will rest upon him If
heiives south of Mason and Dixon's lino.
No man can go further than I havo gone, and
fionor and’ prtriotlsm, to maintain this party
organization. No man has appreciated more
fully nnd thoroughly than I havo dono tho
dangor likely to result fVom tho formation of
sectional partios, and now today I affirm that
I regard such an organization ns eminently
adverse to the salhly of tho Union and tho
wollhro of tho Ropublto.
I will do all that I can to resist the tenden
cy In that direction. I would deem It a na
tional calamity for tho Whig or Dcmocratlo
till Wdfy HTat
my Southern Whig (Vlends will be required
to foil amicably Into lino, and constitute tho
oar guard'of Mr. Soward’s column, andglvo
him onr voices to swell tho jubilant oSntntlon.
Well, porhaps 1 may try. [Laughter.] Bat
my opinion Is, that my utmost efforts to shout
will rezolvo-ttsolf into a groan of dospatr. /
can/tot doit. I will not. Put that down in
your noto hook. "Well, what will you dot"
"Join tho Dcmocratlo party 1" [Laughter.]
I do not think I shall. I do not know what I
shall do. But t know I trill do what I ho-
llevo to bo tny dnty. My present Impression
Is, that I shall deem It more consistent with
my prldo of charcctor to stand aloof Bom tho
contest. But If I thought ono man’s vote or
ono man’s Infinenco were necessary to cast tho
vote of Tcnncssoo lhr Plerco and King, my
voice and my vote should be given to them
unhesitatingly. And any gentleman who
dreams that Yny Southern State will cast its
Vote for Gen. Scott tn tho next Presidential
iloctlon, dreams, tn my opinion; a dream that
trill never bo tonified.
But I suppose that for this I nm to bo a
proscribed and denounced character—nn ex
communicated Whig. Well; gontlomen, t do
ty yon all. [Langhtor] I only Insist thnt .no
man shnll donounco mo until ho can allow a
hotter Whlgoharaoter lu tho past than I can.
Obsorvo this condition, and I am willing for
you to say what you pieaso. I acknowledge,
to a propor oxtont, tho alleglanco of party;
bull owo to my oountry anRlloglanco high
or than any that party can liuposo. I should
consider myself a traitor, recreant to all tho
interests of thoso who have honored mo with
their confidence in sondlng mo hora, If I would
fora momont co-operate In producing such
results ns I havo described. Whatshall Idol
Why, I am very much troublo about It. It
jan painful Idea to contemplate. )t |s ^
both of tho two groat political organizations
should extend North and South. It will bo
an evil day a portentous day for tho Ropnb'
He, when this foot shnll ccnso to exist. I havo
resisted, and I will resist, tho formatted of
scctlonur parties to tho extent of my power
and Influence. Bat If, agalust my wishes and
efforts, I must bo scctlonallzcd, honor, patri
otism, manliness, every quality thntconstl-

Gentlemen : I havo tho honor to acknowl

with nil tho glow of State prldo and nil tho

Borne, June 21 st, 1852.
From Harpers' New Monthly Magazine.
We believe It Is a Gorman poet who, walk
ing " silent and thoughtful by tho solemn
shore of tho vast ocean wc must sail so soon,"
thus speaks: The Ship of Death."
” By the shore of Time, now lying
On tho inky flood beneath,
Patiently, thou 8oul undying 1

Sailing from tho sons of mon,

Never more returns again I
“ From her mast no flag Is flying,
To denote from whence she entito ;
She is known unto tho dying—
Azael is her captain’s namo.
" Not a word wns ever spoken,
On that dark, unfathom’d sen;
Silence there Is so unbroken,
She herself seems not to be.
11 Silent thus, in darkness lonely,
Doth tho Soul pat forth alone,
While tho wings ot’angels only
Waft her to a Land Unknown.

o light sldo or tho lino, how Is tho
Whig party to nationalize Itselfl By passing
a resolution recognising tho Compromlso
measures "as a settlement—a final settlement
in principle and substance—of tho dangerous
subjects they embraced," I will be content
with such a resolution ns that adopted by tlio
Dcmocratlo Convention, t am not disposed
tocriticlso tho Dcmocratlo resolution, I am
willing to tako It verbatim el literatim. It
satisfies mo and I think that It would bo
about tho bost thing to do. Then there would
bo no Issue between tho two groat parties on
that great question, which ought not to bo
tlio subject of party debate—a question with
respect to which all pArlios loyal to tho Con
stitution ought to bo perfectly agreed Tako
that resolution, or somothing ctsa that covor*
the whole ground as completely as it docs,
nnd then nominate Milliard Fillmore or Dan
iel Webster us tho Whig candidate for the
Presidency. That Is my Idea, and I nW not
very particular which of those gentlemen
shall bo nominated. My people aro for Fill
more first, and I am with them. But I am
asked, why not tako Gen. Scott 1 I think
tho contest for a nomination Is practically be
tween thoso threo gentlemen and tihC of the
threo will bo nominated. I bcliovo that the
nomination of General Scott cannot now na
tionalize tho Whig party, oven if you pass
such resolutions as I havo indicated, And ho
shall write a letter putting lilmsoH now dis
tinctly upon that platform. Events havo Al
ready transpired connected with his asplra.

Into tho southern mind, everywhere, a dis
trust which cannot bo eradicated and though
ha might bo placed in such a position that the
Whigs might fool bound, perhaps through all
tho States of tho Sooth, to mako a struggle
for him. I believe that it would not bo six
weeks after ho was nominated before it wonld
ho a manifest foot to the eyes of overy man
that ho could not reccivo tho vote of a slnglo
Southern State—not ono. This Is my opin
ion. You may talk about Bridgewater and

Now, sir, I havo read In some old books,
which described the usages And customs in
tho barbarous and dark ages of tho world,
that when soldo unfortunate subject incurred
tho displeasure of his king, tho order was
promptly given to behead him, and to stick
his head upon a plko staff and carry it through
tho streets. On such occasions all loyal snli-
jects were required to foil into tho train, to
testify to tho justice and power of tholr sov
ereign, who had exterminated his enemy, by
shouts nnd huzzas. Now, if Gen. Scott is
nominated at Baltimore, what a triumph for
Seward! What a shout of exultation will
burst from his lips, and from tho lips of all
his' foithfot and hopeful followers I Somo
willing morccnarics will be ready, figurative:
ly speaking, to rAtso aloft upon their pike:
staffs the heads of Webster and Fillmore, and
all Northern Uulon loving Whigs who bavo
stood by them in tritimph through the streets
Amid' tno shduts and huzzas of their victori
ous enemleo, and wo shall have a grand jubi-
iAht, oxuiting giorificallon, to cOlebrAta the
stand, and who stood os I stood, to bo separa
ted from his party, and to be brought into
antagonism with tboso with whom ho has
been associated; and, tlieroforo,I have beon re
curring to my early reading of pootry to find
somo consolation, and I havo dotormlnod to
adopt tho advice which Onto gave to tys son :
“ My son thou oft hast scon
Thy sire engaged in a corrupted State,
Wrestling with vloo and foctlon; now thou
sccstme,
Eft mo advise ineo lo retreat betimes
To thy paternal seat, the Sabine field,
’Where tho great Censor toll’d with his own
hands,
And all our frugal ancostors were blest
In humble virtues and a rural llfo.
Thera lira retired, pray for tho pctcoof Romo:
Content thyself to be obscurely good.
When vloo prevails, And Impious mon hoar
sway,
Th«-H«rBMmnor Is anrlvatertAMnn."
If I cannot go anywhere else, I will go
home. [Laughter] In a sequestered valloy In
the State ofTenpessco there is s smiling form,
with bubbling fountains, covored with rich
pnstumgo nnd fot flocks, nnd all that Is need
ful for tho occupation and enjoyment ofa man
ofoncorruptcd tastes. Iftvlll go there and
pray for ‘Romo,’ nnd nbldo m’y tlmo for a hot -

Mr. Chairman, wo must nationalize our
selves. It is cowardice to shrink from thoso
duties of tho hour. If our tethors had been
mon who say they see the right, and yet dare
not do it, had freedom beon won! Nover.
Wo had still boen tho vassals of England.—
If wo—tholr sons—ennnot not up to the ox-
ample tliAJr set hs, the glorious inheritance
they boqueathed to'ns will bo lost forever.
Invoke you to arouso to a correct apprecia
tion of Impending dangers, and to awako to
tho obligations which it Is a disgrace to any
man who claims tho chAracter of A pArtriot

it Is tho intrigue nhd corruption of politi
