Pcparlnrc for Oregon.
The ship Brooklyn left the wharf . yes
terdav, opposite Franklin Market, with a
company of emigrants for Oregon. There
are 175 passengers, composed of men,
women and children, principally farmers
and mechanics from the New England
States, who. go out determined to nuke a
settlement, and occupy a portion, at least
of Oregon. They carry with them their
tools and farming utensili. The whole
expense of the voyage will be to each
passenger about $125. At 2 o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, they left the wharf,
and as the last hawser was loosed, the
crowd, assembled to see them start, sent
out to them three hearty cheers, which
were returned as heartily by the emi
grants, who were standing upon the deck.
The snn shone down brightly upon
them, and gave omen of a pleasant voyage.
May they have it. These hardy, bold
pioneers, who, quitting their home, and
leaving the plesant associations which cling
around the sceaes of their childhood, hew.
down forests and build up cities and make
the wilderness bud & blossom .deserve our
sympathies and most heartfelt wishes of
success. The ship is sent out by Messrs.
A. G. & A. W. Benson, a firm of en
terprising shippers, of No. 37, South
street. New York Herald.
Gubernatorial.
An article which originally appeared
in the Philadelphia U. S Gazette, as a
commenication, has been republished by
the Pittsbtug Commercial Journal, and
in the American. It is the work of some
over zealous and officious friend of Gen.
Irvine, recommending him as the Whig
Candidate for Governor in 1847, and we
doubt not the republication at Pittsburg
is at the solicitation of the author of the
article. Its republication does not, of
course, indicate the preference of either
the American or Journal, the editors of
both of which are the personal friends of
General Markle, and the former was one
of the first who moved in his favor in the
winter of 1813-4. We do not believe
that the. Whigs will set aside Gen. Markle
for any new candidate. He made too
powerful a run in 1844 to be abandoned
in 1847, and all experience has shown
that it was only on the second effort in
favor of our cadidates for Governor .that
we have been able to succeed. Such
was the case with regard to both Hiester
ane Ritner.
We look upon the article in question
as a renewal of the attempt made in
1842-3 to lorestall public opinion in fa
vor of Gen. Irvine. There was a general
demonstration made upon the country at
that time both from Philadelphia and
Washington city in favor of him. His
strength in convention was not the rusult
of hi popularity with the mass of the
party. He was quite unknown in some
parts.
The vigorous efforts made by his
friends to supercede John Banks proba
bly insured the nomination of Gen. Mar
kle, and the utmost success of their ef
forts, now renewed against Gen. Markle
can only befeat him it could not secure
the election of Cen. Irvin. He should
abide his time. The precocious efforts
of his friends may postpone forever that
which may, with proper treatment, oc-i1
cur four years hence. .
There is no excuse for moving on this
subject now. General Markle's friends
have have done so. We have heard of no
movement on this subject prior to that of
Gen. Irvin's friends in Huntingdon coun
ty, a good while since. We believe him
to be a good, kind and benevolent man,
and as far as he is known, we believe he
is popular. This speaks volumes in his
favor. We admire too, the manliness
with which he supported Gen. Markle."
Although he is a good man. But his
substitution, and indeed the very attempt
to substitute him for Gen Markle, is at
this time, and will be, both to himself and
to the Whig party, perfectly suicidal.

J.kTVAl FROM MKXICO.
Arlsla I'aredcs and Santa Anna.
The New Orleans Picayune of the 5th,
gives letters from Pensacola and llavan
na, which contain interesting statements.
Arista, it is said, had a regular force, un
der his commend of four thousand ,mea,
which would be considerably' increased
bv volunteers. The U. S. brig Por
poise sailed from Pensacola for v'ra
Cruz, on the morning of the 1st, with
despatches for Mr. Slidell. That gentle
man, br all accounts, was still waiting
quietly at Jalapa. He had not demand- I
ed his passports, and had not 'been insult
ed, All the vessels of war at Pensacola
were preparing for sea. Arista is repre
sented in one letter as particularly hostile
to the United States, and determined to
attempt the subjugation of Texas. Doubt
fnl! According to the regular files of the
Picayune, it would seem that it was
known in the city of Mexico, as early as
the 8th of January, that Gen. Arista had
declared against Paredes. He was in
consequence removed from the command
of the army of the North, and ordered to
devolve it upon Gen. D. Romulo Diaz
de la Yega, until the arrival of a succes
sor. The papers speak as if Gen. Am
pudia were likely to be this successor-
the inhuman wretch who maltreated the
remains of Gen. Sentmanat, and whose
broken faith to the unfortunate' Mier prisj
oners is on record. ":
A letter from Havanni, under dale br
the 20th, gives these interesting particuj
lars: 'I learn from an unimpeachable source
that Santa Anna is making preparations
to return to Mexico. He anticipates
leaving here on the 9th or 10th of next
month in the British steamer for Vera
Cruz. This will however depend much
upon his advices to arrive per steamer on
the Gth. but that he returns there, and
that very shortly too, you may rely upon.
There are other n dUs about him that
I give for what they are worth. It is
said that he is much exasperated at the
desijni of a few traitors to sell the
coun
trv.lo foreign powers, after the wasting
of so much blood and treasure to achieve
independence. His 'return to Mexico
willbs marked by tn entire change in his
...... -...-- - - y
policy. The United States,. if her.niija
ister is of the right stamp will become his
fidus Achates -for money he will ad-
jUSl .UlC A CJLall UUUUUdlT uiu ttUC vur
fornia, defending himself to his country
men upon plea that this was the only
method left to preserve the integrity of
the Republic, to resist ' the iacidious at
tacks of Foreign Cabinets upon her
liberties,-to preserve them from a return
to the Spanish yok(T which they so no
bly threw ofT, and to retain their position
among nations of the earth as an inde
pendent power.
,-.'Paredes must either side with the for
eign powers or with Santa Anna. If he
chjoose the latter, nothing can prevent the
tyrant from taking the reins if the for
mer, nothing can resist the grilo that
Sante Anna will raise for liberty. No
one that is well informed on the subject
believes that the people of Mexico will
be content that their country share the
fate of Greece.
Every day we believe to be big with
events in this distracted country, pregnant
with interest to the United States."
