Speech of Hon. Mr.. Gentry, OF Tennessee

No remarks of ours will be needed to draw the atten.
ton OF our readers TO the mastery speech Of this dstn
gulshed member OF the wing party, which we give in
this days paper The speech has made great sensation
in political circles here by both OF its bodnes
and its vgor The opinion has been loudly expressed
that if delivered in the Wing Convention and heard b,
the members of that body il must have rendered the
nomination of General Scott impossible
But there is another point of view in which the whole
drift OF the speech still worthy OF attention
Taken in connexo nwith the almost universally received
whg opinion that the wing party OF the North il adopt
the nathy Of the Compromise for its platform canno,
carry single northern States, does not Mr. Genry's
speech demonstrate that the wing party as national or
ganization has come 10 endihat it is incompetent 10
grasp and deal with the existing condition OF The country
Such conclusion certainly appears inevitable when
we compare the statements made by the leading wings OF
the North and Of the South, and such conclusion is n
small degree confirmed by the fact that the wing party
at this moment holds the State power in not more than
three States out OF hiry.one Such a state OF things
would appear so far The State governments are con-
cened, TO be the very minimum condition OF organized
party existence 1t has had parallel in our history
since the old federal party died out 10 1915.

In Mexico and elsewhere in relation the Gardiner claim
adiudcaed upon by the board of commissioners organized
under the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The people will look for the information thus called
for by the Senate with great interest We trust that the
response 10 the call will be comprehensive and com.
peie as its terms II this be the case, we shall probably
not only learn the original character OF the claim and Of
the evidence on which it allowed, but also the ar
ranremen,s which were made in Washington with
view 10 its prosecution and FINAL allowance Such in.
formation at this time is highly desirable for II it shall
dscredit and contradict the common rumor TO the
management OF the claim in this city, such result will
certainly be for the honor Of government and the
information shall be found TO confirm the current view Of
the matter then il s high time that the facts OF the
should be fully brought home TO the public mind
We trust that there may be no unnecessary delay in
responding TO the resolution.
