From 1835 to 1839, he was a promi- nent member of the Legislature. A committee composed of jNIr. Gentry, Mr. Grundy, and Mr. Topp submitted to the Legislature in 1835 an exhaustive report in favor of the State's lending its aid, by the issuance of bonds, to a system of mac- adam roads. Under an act passed in conformity with that report, JNliddle Tennessee became dotted over with macadamized roads, and several millions of bonds were issued for that pur- pose, which now constitute, directly or in...directly, a part of the public debt of the State. East Tennessee never availed itself of the liberal terms of that act, not a single mile of road having been built under it. Li 1839 Mr. Gentry was elected a member of Congress, and with the exception of one term, when he declined being a candi- date, he remained in Congress until 1853 ^twelve years. He soon made his debut in Congress. His first speech was in favor of receiving not granting the prayer of petitions from the North for the abolishment of slavery in the District of Columbia.
