before this, OF the highly respectable character of
the assemblage upon this occasion, and it is with
great satisfaction assure you that upon no political
question which has ever been before the people,
within nay recollection, has there been displayed
! so much interest and so much unanirnty--l have
been at pains to ascertain the relative strength
of parties in the district, and the result OF nay nqu-
res satisfies me- that of four hundred votes the

We have been favore with the perusal of le-
) ter from gentleman residing in PENNSYLVANIA ION
) which we can place the most implicit reance) stat
ting that the feelings O. the state towards Gen Jack
son was rapidly undergoing thorough change, that
indeed in several Of the counties which were former
ly the very hot-beds Of the opposition (more par
ticularly Washington County, an entire revolution
of political sentiment has been excited within the
last eight months. The natural good sense of this
j honest and industrious portion of our community at
length predomnates, and they see clearly that the
principles and proceedings Of the present atlmnstra-
ton oomport with their interests and views of
: things, and they express themselves as deter
IS mined to support rather than oppose an adminstra
l. ton which they have so far proceed.
1t is also whispered, that Duane the veteran DO
tcan of Peunsy lvania, has openly affirmed his dis
gust at the measure by which the party attempts Ia
III sustain Jackson and says that so long as the dmn
lstraon preserves its present wise course that none
other than knave or fool could wish to see it des
ne troyed. -Geergetoaon Columbian
