Speech of Mr.. Gentry.

We are sure our readers will deem NJ
apology necessary, for devoting so large I
space in our paper to the speech of Mr.
Gentry, of Tennessee, delivered just two day
before the assembling of the Wing Conven
ton. Mr.. Gentry is no pettifogging aspi
rant for place. Being one of the most ablC
wings of the South he was offered a seat il
Mr.. FillmOre's Cabinet, but declined it, con
tent as he was to represent his State in Con
gress. We would advise every one to give
it careful perusal. We see it stated thai
both Gentry and Williams, of Tennessee
besides ToOmbs, of Georgia, Clingman, o.
North Carolina, and other distinguished
wings refuse to support Stewards nominee.

DEATH 81 Henry CLAY.


Ne learn By telegraph that this illustri-
Gus citizen, whose Ill health has fol- some
time inspired che sympathy and solicitude
of the country, breathed his last about noon
on last Tuesday the 18th inst. Identified
as his name is with the public history Of the
country, aud regarded throughout the world
as at once the great product and advocate o.
republican institutions, his death will be fell
as the loss of an age, and universe, while
in this country, enthroned as he was to re-
markable degree in the affections Of his po-
litieal friends, and viewed as he was by bis
political foes, as an ornament and illustra'
ton of American annals, all honor will BE-
accorded to his memory as statesman, pa,
triOt, and orator, while all animosity of
political kind will be buried in his grave
"Therc were giants in those days." will be
the sentiment with which posterity will trace
the records of Clay, as we'll as those Of Cal
houn and Webster. May Heaven in it,
merciful regards for our country sanctify
the deaths, as it has exalted and endeared
the lives of such men, and may we all b
inspired with that patriotic ambition which
looks to the good of our country and The
perpetuity of its institutions as our object
and to wisdom, moderation, and mutua
forbearance, as the means of accomplish
ment

The Wing Nominations.

1t will be seen by reference to our Tele-
graphic dispatches that Gen. Scott and the
Hon. w. A. Graham have been, nominated
by the National Wing Convention as their
candidates for the President and Vice Presi-
dent. The nomination of Gen. Scott under
any circumstances would not have been ac-
ceptable to the people Of Georgia. It is not,
therefore, to be wondered at, that the news
of his nomination yesterday was not only a
source of deep and heartfelt modification,
but Of universal condemnation among the
Wings and Union men of the city. We
have heard of no man-not single one who
approves it, and unless there is very great
change in public sentiment, few if any will
support him.
In our opinion, he has no claims upon the
country to the distinguished Office to which
he aspires; for we regard his military SER
vices as constituting an objection rather than
a recommendation. We want civilian, a
statesman, one who is familiar with the du-
ties and responsibilities of that important
office. Gen. Scott cannot be so regarded by
any impartial mind. In addition to this, he
is the avoWed advocate Of the annexation of
Canada, unless he may find it expedieut to
change his views. And last, though not
least, he is the candidate Of the Free Soil
and "higher law wing of the wing party
whose instrument we regard him, and to
whose discretion will be yielded the distri-
button of the spoils if he should be elected.
For these reasons zee s0iU not support Gen.
Scott.
It is proper to add that to Mr.. Graham
we have not the slightest objection. He is
a distinguished and conservative statesman,
whom We should be pleased to support if he
was more Worthily associated.
This position to Us is one by no means
congenial to cur tastes, We always greatly
prefer to enter the field in an open and bold
fight for him who has been selected as the
standard bearer Of our principles; but to
Gen. Scott our objections are paramount 70
any considerations Of mere party fealty.

Young Mems Association.

According to appointment an association
of the young democracy was formed at thu
Courthouse last night, on which occasion
Capt. A. K. Blythe made one of his old
fashioned, eloquent and effective speeches
Those acquainted with Capt. Blythe's Opin
ions will want no higher tribute to Genera
Pierce. He is democrat of the "strictes
sect" but had determined to stand aloof un
less the democratic convention proved itsel
entirely free from sectionalism both in it,
platform and candidate. As it is there il
no more able or jealous advocate for Pierce
and King.

RatiacatiOn Meeting.

Our readers will find the proceedings o
the meeting called to ratify the democratic
nominations in another column, politel,
handed us by the editor Of the Standard
The meeting was large, and enthusiastic, il
responding to the results of the Baltimor
Convention. In regard to the resolutions
we may remark, that some of the COMMITTEE
preferred as more appropriate to the Objec
and occasion, reafirmation of the Balti
more platform, but acceded to those reported
from a kind disposition to harmonic in thu
promotion of the object in view-the ratif
cation of the national democratic nomina
ton.

Too Late, Too Late Il!

The editor of the Petersburg Hetezigencer,
one of the whig organs of Virginia, wrote
as follows during the late Wing COnven-
ton:
zone of our Delegation, it is said, receiv-
ed telegraphic dispatch from Genl Scott,
stating that if nominated, he would express
his opinions. When this report was nOised
about among the Southern members, there
was an almost universal exclamation of "too
late," "toO late" Every Southern State is
represented here, and many of them by dis
|tinguished and intelligent men, from all Of
whom l learn that Gen1. Scott cannot, un-
der any circumstances, get single Southern
electoral vote, and that the effect of his nom
ination would be to break up the Wing
Party at the South"

Politics.

Democracy gave up their several f,vo- ~ ~
Lewis Cass, Buchanan, and Douglas &c. a15
went unanimously for General FraDt jim
Pierce of New Hampshire, as their cand;
date for the Presidency. They selected VIM
r. King of Alabama, 'as their candidate for
the Vice Presidency, with almost equal una.
nimity.
The nominations have every where been
received with favor by the party, and great
ratification meetings have been held in 4.
most all parts of the country. The meet.
ings were large, and the party are entering
with such enthusiasm on the campaign that
its friends think it will ensure its triumpb.
ant success. Such union and enthusiasm
have not inspired the party since the last
jackson campaign.

The Wing Platform.

Our readers will find in our paper to-day
the whig platform recently adopted at Balti-
more After making the most charitable al
lowancc for it, it falls far short of the demo
cratic platform as distinct and unequivocal
affirmation of the compromise measures as q
final settlement of the slavery question, tc
say nothing of its timid and vague squirting
I at the old exploded doctrines of whiggery
SO often rcpudiated by the country. The
most significant feature, however, Of the wing
platform-one in fact calculated to alarm the
South, is the sectional character Of the vote
which was had uponit. It was adopted, &C
cording to the National Intelligcncer, by 227
yeas to 65 nays. This looks like a gOOd
majority, but by analysing the vote it will
be found that the tranquility of the country
is just as much threatened in the election Of
Gen. Scott, by those IS nays, as it could
have been by a majority of negative votes
In those 65 votes against the platform, what
do we find? Why, just two to one OF the
delegates from New YORK, there being from
that State ii yeas to % nays-two to one
from the great State of Quo, being 8 yeas
to Is nays-all but one from the State OF
Michigan against the platform, while from
Maine, Indiana and Illinois, the vote was
equally divided, while finally, the cause OF
Seward agitation received 6 votes from Penn
sylvania. We find upon this exhibit of the
vote, given by the wing organ at Washing
ton, that though the wing platform, unsatis-
factory as it was to the South, passed chiefly
by southern votes, the great States of New
York and Ohio repudiated accompanied
by Maine, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and {
large part of Pennsylvania. Now where
else, let us ask, but in these very States doe'
Gen. SCOTS friends expect his vote. New
York and Ohio are supposed to hold his dcs
TIMES, and if elected, it can only be by the
vote of these States 1t follows, of course
that the proceedings of the Wing Conven
ton positively promise renewed agitation, il
Scott is elected, and that, to borrow the Ian
guage of Greedy, the Whig platform is de
clared to be by those States which regulate
SCOTS fortunes, nothing but "waste paper. .
When the bold, patriotic, aud national posi-
ton Of the democratic party, and the incor
ruptible fidelity of its nominee, are contrast
ed with the miserable abortion, and candi
date of the Wing Convention, and when We
add to these pOrtentOus facts, the testimony
of such wings as Gentry, Marshall, TOombs
and others, why it may literally be said
that "WisdOm crieth aloud, and uttereth bel
voice in the Streets" against the suicida
and fatal election of Gen.. Scott, and the con
sequent regency of such man as VIM. II
Seward.
