HEAR WHAT GENTRY SAYSI

The following is an extract from Speech recently
delivered in the House of Representatives, by Hon.
Meredith r. Gentry, leading Wing from Tennes-
see:
"Now, if Gen. Scott is nominated at Baltimore,
what triumph for SEWARD! What a shout of exu-
tatlon will burst from his lips and from the lips of
all his faithful and hopeful followers Some willing
mercenares Will be ready 6guratively speaking, to
raise aof upon their pike-staffs the heads of Web
ster and Fillmore, and all Northern Union loving
Wings who have stood by them. and bear them
through the streets amid the shouts and huzzas of
their victorious enemies, and we shall have grand
Jubllant exulting glori6caton celebrate The
sion. AS loyal Wing who has never proved I'M
faithful to my party, myself and my Southern Wing
friends will be required to fall amcaby into line, and
consulate the rear guard of Mr. Stewards column,
and give him voices to swell the ubilant exula-
ton. Well, perhaps may try. Laughter But
ny opinion is. that my utmost effort shout will
resolve itself into groan of despair. cannot do it,
1o1H not Put that down in your notebook. Well.
what will you do! Join the Democratic party ~
what shall do. But know will do what be-
lleve 10 be my duty. My present impression is, that

acter to stand aloof from the contest But if thou ght

ry to cast the of Tennessee for Pierce and King
my voice and my vote should be given to them I'M
hesitatngly And any gentleman who dreams that
any Southern State will cast its vote for Gen. Scott
in the next Presidential election, dreams in my opin-
jon, dream that will never be realized.''
The only reply which the Scott newspapers have
to make to the foregoing is, that Gentry is turning
locofoco -! We leave it to readers TO say if Mr..
Gentrys views and declarations do bear the marks
of honesty and patriotism their very face.

THE STANDARD FOR 1852

The present year will be marked by events OF
deep and lasting Importance. A President and
Vice President will be elected; and we shall have
in this State, warm campaign for Governor and
members of the Legislature The Legislature to-
be chosen will be called upon to elect Senator for
six years-to re-distrct the State for members of
Congress-and also to lay off the Senatorial Dis
tricts and apportion the members of the House of
Commons for the next twenty years., In addition
to this the great question of Equal Suffrage will
come before that body for final action. These
considerations, not to mention Others, will render
the campaign interesting to all. The people will
desire to be informed to passing events and the
qualifications and soundness of public men; and,
to be thus informed, they must not only hear the
stump" speeches, but they must take the
papers.
We shall devote all our energies to tile cause Of
the people and of Democracy and equal rights, in
the coming campaign. A brilliant triumph lies
before us, brother Democrats, provided we are true
to ourselves. Let us, then 90 to work at once
let prepare for the harvests of August and
November. Let us scatter the documents and
newspapers far and wide among the people, so that
they may have opportunity of reading, ponder
ing, and deciding for themselves upon TIE great
questions which will come before them Democ-
racy fears nothing so much as false issues and con-
cealments. It is open like the sun---lke the sum-.
it shines for all and, like TRUTH it courts scrutiny
and challenges investigation.
The undersigned offers the NoRTH-C CAROLINA

the following rates: Weekly, in advance, So; Semi

OLD OPINIONS AND New. The leading, most
noisy and influential Scott journal in the country. is
Greely's' IS Tribune,' Seward paper, published in
New York. Before the nomination of Gen. Taylor
in 1949, however, the said Mr. Greedy wrote as fol-

MIR. CLINGMAN.

We make the following extract from letter re-
Gently received from gentleman Of information and
character in Washington City:
by the BY, among the appliances used by the
Sewardites here to carry every thing their way,
the attacks which have been made upon Nh Cling
man, by the Republic newspaper, by letter-wrters
who belong to Mr.. Graham's Navy Department. and
indeed by every one here who is identified directly
indirectly with Seward and his plans. Your rea-
ders may not know that Mr.. Graham is very ambitious
of achieving the Vice Presidential nomination at the
hands of Seward IS Instruments so. naturally enough
the Correspondents of the press who receive their
bread at Mr. Graham's hands, fancy that the best
way to keep place under him is to abuse and hound
down Mr.. Clingman, who deserves the thanks of his
constituents for the gallant manner in which he has
breasted the torrent of Sewardism and Abotonism
in the Wing patty. Every one hoping for Office
der Scott has joined in this crusade against him.
he has given Seward more trouble than any OF The
seceders from the Caucus"
The above letter, readers will perceive, was
written before the Wing nominations were made. The
result shows Correspondent was not mistaken as
to the feelings and calculations of Mr.. Graham
Strong in the confidence of his constituents, Mr.
ClIngman may well defy a II his enemies. both here
and among the Sewardites of the free States.

SETTLE 1T BETWEEN You, GENTLEMEN. Some
little while ago, stated that many of our Wing
friends desired to know if the Albemarle Bulletin
was right in representing MIR. Kerr opposed to
Free Suffrage. To which inquiry that paper replies,
that IS he represented such thing
We cannot but think that there is some misappre-
hension about this matter. The Bulletin did say,
that in his speech down there, MIR. Kerr 6 thought
our State Convention perfect any the wit of man
ever devised; but if the people desired change they
should have it, &C., Free Suffrage is not at presen
part of the Constitution and the question is, did
the Bulletin represent his candidate opposed to the
change? Those who vote in the affirmative, please
say aye those of contrary opinion, say no. 1t is
told of Frenchman, that he was once called on by
Yankee for satisfaction, for having pronounced the
latter a liar.'' The Frenchman was somewhat EN-
barrassed, and denied having done so, explaining IN
his very polite way, that all he meant was that de
Yankee had one berry curious way of walking round
de troot '-that was all! Is the Bulletin salts
fed that Mr. Kerr has, to say the least, one berry
curious way OBJ walkin round de Free Suffrage ques-
tion"!

SEWARD ON THE NOMINATION.

The Baltimore Sun of Saturday publishes the fol-
lowing extracts from letter written by the notorious
and Infamous William H. Seward, to the Scott Rati-
fcation Meeting held in New York, on Thursday
last:
- congratulate the Wings of New York their
sagacity and patriotism in Preferrng the worthiest
available citize for the most responsible service and
the highest honor of the Republic; their persever
ing fidelity him and to their sacred principles
of Freedom and federation, well their dis
tinguished prudence and magnanmity in the conduct
of the Canvass of Nominations finally on the ausp-
cious result of their labors.
And now let the dissesnions of the past be buried
in the grave, to which its errors are Fastening.
Wing Administration, with such chief, cannot fail
be guided by the principles of order of moderation
of devotion to the Constitution and the Union. of me-
Iteration, improvements and progress, which the
wing party has always cherished. and maintained
and acting on their principles, will mark an era, not
merely in the advance of country, but even in the
course of Republican principles throughout the
world.''
Will the Raleigh Register publish The foregoing,
as one of its 'senhusiasc responses to the nomina
ton?

The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore
Sum- of the 25th instant, says:

Sun, of the 25th instant, says:
'Grantland, of Georgia, wealthy gentleman
closely related democratic member of Congress
from the State, offered bet thousand dol
lars the election of Gen. Scott Gen. Lane took
up tue bet, and the money to be staked this
morning, when Gen. Lane offered to double the bet
Pierce, which, however, Mr.. Grantland declined.
Gen. Lane then offered Mr.. GrantIand gift OF $3.50
if he would put up the orig inal 200, which
also declined.'
We cannot approve the prevalent practice of bet
ting elections; but if the Wings, in fret,
choose to back their judgments in that way, they
must take the consequences. They do it with their
eyes open, and must blame nobody but themselves.
o. The Raleigh Register has the audacity TO
charge that David S. Reid "deserted the South and
her best interests" while in Congress- well knowing
that the people of North Carolina, by electing him
Governor, have deliberately declared to the contrary
and this charge from newspaper which supports fol
the Presidency Gen. Scott, the preferred candidate of
Seward-a candidate who is rejected by all the
sound Union Wings of the free States!

SOutn Will De IeSpeCGeu!
Connected with this subject, there some things
which we desire to be informed of:
l. How came it about, that the above Resolution
was SO universally published portion of the
Wing platform The Baltimore presses had report
ers on the spot-hey concurreny reported it as the
one adopted-so did the Washington City papers.
Are there tavo platforms or, if not, how did the mis-
take occur? Who wrote the Resolution Or did
it just sorite itsey2
2. When Gen. Scotts hasty acceptance of the
nomination, with the unofficial platform, read in
the Convention on Monday, after every member of
that body had seen and read the above Resolution,
published as portion of their platform; and when
Gov. Johnston of Pennsylvania called attention to
an error in the Resolution the Tariff, hOc happened
IL that the gross and palpable inaccuracies of this
Resolution-the chief point of dsagreement-the
most vitality important of the series, had the for
tune to escape all comment and observation?
3. Will Gen. Scott endorse the official platform
4. In the nature of things, according to present
appearances, it than probable that somebody
is to get wofully cheated by the publication of dual
platforms in this way!
Finally" is not the Register of the 26th instant
bound to explain to its readers how the word " FTnap
found its way into the above Resolution hoisted by
him last Saturday, occurring just before the word
settlement"2 From what paper was it copied
And has any right, simply because a couple of
platforms are going the rounds, to take out insert
word, to suit himself' We ask for information.
