Mr.. Gentry of Tennessee made an earnest, able
and practical speech in Committee of the Whole
and was opposed to giving the notice. He denied
that our title to the whole of Oregon was clear and
incontestible. We had shown that it was not so,
by our repeated offers to negotiate upon this ques-
, ton The party aspect and the Presidential par
, ty aspect of this question: were CONDEMNED with
great force. He feared that much of the present
excitement was Presidential game and nothing
more, and if time should thus deveope the motives
of any man or set of men, he could only say OF
linen who would act from principles so dabolical
and false to the interests of their country that he
t could wish to have
~ whip in every honest honest hand ,,,
