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- Mr. Piorco's Letter of Aceeptanoe. Concord, (N. II.) Juno 17, 1852.

Then deem It not nn Idle thing, This boasting of our city dear, To youthful greatness praises cling, So here’s to Romo threo heartfelt cheers. 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 Walts for thco the ShipofDcath l " He who on that vessel starteth, Sailing from tho sons of mon, Ti tho frlonds from whom he pirtoth 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. Methanleal Lltt. Decidedly Supernal.—Tho Tribune pub lishes a “supomal despatch” from tlio of spir its, communicated by a professed spiritual medium. It professes to come from Benja min Franklin, and is to tho effect that 8lr John Franklin yet lives, end is impiisonod In the Arctic ocean, in latitude seventy-five de grees north, and longitudo (from Washington) twelvo degrees West tho Tribune, acknow (edging the politeness of Benjamin Franklin and the medium, offers tho lntlor liberal re muneration for dally reports of what is trans piring in Europe, the reraUnorattoh to be paid | on the arrival of each steamer If It verifies tho reports. Now here Is a chance for tho mcdl UWs, which, if they improvo not, lot them 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. (tons for tho Presidency which havo Infused 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 Lundy’s LaUe,And Vera Crnz nnd Ccrro Gordo And Chapultapcc, and Mollno del Roy, bntit Is a very unphllosophlc mistake to suppose that tho glories of thoso fields alone can sat isfy the pcoplo of tho South upon tho ques tions la which I refer. * * * 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."
