Important Intelligence from Mertco-ATfva gf
Despatchss-Ths Oregon Debate- Win the Notice
be Given ?-Appointmerts, &C.
On Saturday last informed you ot the arrival OF
dispatches from Mr. Sldell, at Mexico. On Mon
day evening, the Union denied the report, most po-
sluvely. Well, what is the fact Why, sir, the
Senate were near three hours and half yesterday
in secret session, discussing them and from all
have learned. they are of belligerent character
! triumvirate has been established in Mexico,
two Of which are Herrera and Paredes, who are de-
I termined, when the proper time comes, to make
war upon this country, Give your opinion of ths
4 "organ."
1t is clear, from all / can learn, that England u
busy at work there, to bring abou, a passage at
arms between that power and this, in order to create
diversion in her favor that frontier, knowing
that if be employed IN that quarter there is little
danger OF our forcing matters to extremties upon
the Oregon question.
In the meantime, England will take peaceable
possession Of California, IN lieu OF the $4,000 ,0C0
due her subjects by Mexico, and as guaranty Tor
the safety OF $780, OOO 900 more which they have in
vested in mining speculations there.
1t not Oregon alone that England is prepared to
defend, should she be obliged to do so; but her
mercal interests IN that quarter OF the world which
are now threatened by the rapid strides that we are
making towards It's acquisition.
AS so much interest prevails among those opposed
to and in favor Of Mr.. Wood~ards confirmation for
the Judgeship, it may be as well for me to throw
little light on the NATTER &or the bene. Of both paf
ties, and state the case truly as 1t 10.
1t will be recollected that there were two apple
cants for that place from Pennsylvania, before Mr.
Woodward's nomination one from Philadelphia
the other from near Pttsburg Both factions, at
the opposite ends OF the State, were keelhauRg the
President for their respective favortes and not being
able to satisfy one without offending the other, he
took up Woodward, in consequence OF that gentle
man being the nominee of the democratic caucus
at Harrisburgh for U. S. Senator, for which he was
defeated by Simon Cameron. The President, in
doing this, was entirely ignorant of his "Native
American" principles, as exhibited In his resolution
in the Pennsylvania Reform Convention Of 1886,
and, of course, ought to be blamed for what he
was not advised OF beforehand But he ought tohave
pointment from his State But to this il may fairly b
objected that Mr.. Buchanan was pledged to Mr..
Reed, and would not ofcourse, agree to Mr.: Weod.
wards appointment. Again, believe that if he had
been consulted, the circumstance OF Wo0dward's
offensive principles might not have been remember
ed by him, as they were not 6y hundreds
of others, until the Philadelphia Times brought
will be therefore seen that neither Mr.. Buchanan
nor Mr.. Polk are to blame for this appointment, AZ
il was made underline circumstances above related.
The whole matter is In the hands Oi the Senate,
who will not confirm him. The committee TO whom
was refused his nomination, have not yet reported
it to tue Senate, nor is il likely that il will. But
clsively rejected Ii is probable, however, that he
will! be allowed to 60 over without any further
notice.
Henry Horn is in the same unpleasant predica-
ment. His appointment of the most violent " Ma
tlves" 10 office in, the place OF sound dem0crats,
sinks him down here just deep in the public esti-
nation as Mr.. Woodward. They appear to be birds
OF feather, In fact, and so both parties consider
them f.eea H.+s -7 ~se,7

The Oregon debate still drags ito allow length
to speak upon il. Our friend, General Mcconnell.

as to deliver himself Of hi. views upon 90 impcr-
tant subject. "Mac" is positively one Of tho
finest fellows in the House, Notwithstanding the few
foibles he sometimes INDUCES IN, and even those
are exaggerated by those who wish to make para

You seem to be in a state of betwecnity about thS
ultimate decision of the Senate upon the notice to
suspend the Joint occupation OF the Oregon terri
tory. know diversity Of opinion obtains here, a.
first blush of the vote on Monday, upon the post
p0nement came to the conclusion thai it could not
pass that body; but, from enquiries made since,
IN M e e
pressions. This you may gather from the following
analysis of the friends and foes Of the measure in
the Senate.
Now, Is voted against the pos,ponemens, leaving
36 apparently IN opposition to giving the notice. on
the whole number Of Senators, a il one-half, who,
with the Vice Presidents asting vote. IN case OF
tlon In order, therefore, to work out the true re-
suit Of this great political problem, we have the fol-
lowing data to begin with =
1.-The votes of those against the postponenent via Is
2.-Messrs. Benton, Baaby, CoIquitt, Clayton, Crit
tsnden, Haywood, Lewis, Moorehead and Mangum. .

There may be others, both wing and democrat,
who may vote for the notice, but their opinions Il
near the true condition Of parties can be arrv
ed at. The opinion begins to gain ground that Mr..
Crrenden's resolution may be finally adopted, as
being more agreeable to both sides ot the House
than Mr.. Aliens. II is perhaps with view TO this
end that the intention to call up Mr. Aliens resolu-
tion next week, Of which apprised you yesterday,
has been spoken Of ARIEL.

The Senate were not in session to-day. We are
apprised that the nomination Of DR. Tate, OF Missile
slpp, for a consulship, has been Withdrawn, be-
cause, perhaps, of the presentiment that II persist
ed in, il would be rejected We believe the doctor
is friend Of Secretary Walker, and be cked him in
the withholding the commission Of Thompson.
The doctors defeat, may, therefore, be regarded
a triumph Of the Thompsonlans to the disadvantage
Of the Secretary OF the Treasury. Where this war
is to end, it is difficult to foresee
The day was rainy and overcast, and the popular
attendance in the galleries comparatively thin.
After the presentation oi reports from commit

Connecticut (whig), led off against the immediate
notice. His speech was delivered in low and un.
