| PHILADELPHIA, June s.-The meeting OF the
friends OF Jackson and Wolf, preparatory to the
approaching 4,h Of July, was the largest we have
| ly hour, Holahan's large rooms and the avenues
leading TO them were crowded to excess with re-
publicans who bore the brunt and toll OF the late
hard fought contest, all evincing the same deter
great and good Jackson, they did TO elevate him
! TO the presidential chair. II there are any who
fatter themselves that the Jackson democratic par
~ can be broken, and that the routed forces OF
the coalition can obtain any accession from our
ranks, this meeting must satisfy them that such
hopes are futile. The jackson party is sound to
the core, and that il may long continue so, mug.
be the sincere desire OF every friend OF republican
principle and pure government.
The general wish of the meeting, and one which
meets our hearty concurrence, was, that the tch0ie
Jackson party should be found united in the APP
preaching jubilee. Ne sort of disposition was
manifested to exclude or prescribe any Jackson
democrat, or draw any other line than that which
must inevitably exist between the friends and
emies OF the general government. All occasional
iruces between materials so opposite and incongru
Gus, must prove hollow and insncere, and neces-
sariiy be purchased by sacrifice of principle.
The most plain and obvious prudence requires
the friends Of Jackson to preserve their union and
identity.
No other object than this is sought IN the course
| of political action determined on by the meeting
Of Saturday, aud Of consequence all tuho en-
tertdi and profess similar opinions, are embrace
ed rule OF action less broad and comprehensive
would be calculated to produce distracting divi-
sions in the Jackson party, which every friend Of
the cause must deprecaie, and none more than
we. Our political motto is, the gre Jackson par
~ OF Pennsylvana; and indivisible, uncontarl-
iInated by any connection with the coalition.
Further object, the party have none.
I.9mericdD SeRtiIet.
The necessity which existed for thorough re-
toFm in the conduct of public business at Wash
ington, and elsewhere, is daily becoming more
manfest-ani we are pleased with the convic-
ton that the administration of President Jackson
is equally competent and resolved to accomplish it.
Among ether matters which have fallen under
our attention is general d" circular instruction to
tie Banks employed as repositories Of public mo-
Heys,r issued by the Secretary Of the Treasury
printed letter, which commences by announcing
officially that the functions of William Clark ESQ
Treasurer OF the United States, ceased with that
month, and those of John Campbell, Esq. com
Ioenced' proceeds to establish certain new arrange
ments as regards the deposit, transfer, aud draw
ing OF public funds, calculated TO give to the go
vernment great additional security against pecula-
ton, fraud, or even nadvertence.
Heretofore there b.. been little or DO check up-
on the operation OF the Treasurer, who might have
drawn at his pleasure, and to any extent, upon
the banks i'll which the public moneys were kept.
Nay, his very clerks could readily have practsed
impostons upon him, when warrants from the
department crowded into the Office, rendering il
almost iinpracticable that he should compare with
these, which were retained, the drafts which were
founded upon them and forwarded. The regula-
ton OF MIR. Ingham, however, creates an efiectu-
al barrier to the smallest appropriation. The war
rant oil the Secretary Of the Treasury is first TO-.
be countersigned by the Comptroller, then its re.
cord authenticated by the signature of the Regis
ter, and finally the Treasurer, upon part OF the
Warrant Itself is TO give his order to the proper
bank. similar series OF checks is established
when moneys are TO be transferred from one bank
to another-and the character and description OF
the vouchers for payments which will be exacted
