JACKSON IN PENNSYTyANIA

JACKSON IN PENNSYLVANIA.
 We are pleased to lay before our readers the following letter, signed by siQly-eight members of the Legislature, expressing theirapprobationofthe tine .swise ljudicious, republican measures of Gega- eral IaekSon's administration and re- speetfully urging him again to become a candidate for the Presidency. This manifestation of the feeling of Pennsyl- vania, by the representatives of the peo- pie, must put down all speculation on the subject. There is but one senti- ment prevailing in the ranks of the de mocratic party, with regard to the in- portance of our venerated Chief Magis- trate permitting bis name once more to be placed before the American people; and every republican member of the
 Legislature heartily concmred in the proprlety of quieting the public mind, i by al early declaration of that senti- ment.
 Many of the varmest friends of Gen. Jackson ia the Legislature, preferred 1 by expressing the views and wishes of the party by a meeting, which was ae- cordiagly held; the proceedings which are before the people, and have already received the sanction of the great re- lpu5liean State of New fork, as will be seen by the proceedings of a meeting of i the republican members of the Legis- latufe. The convention of the Inem- bers.of the Legislature of this State was fully attended, and the resolution unani- moasl 3 adopfed-for no other purpose, we venture positively to assert, could so large and respectable a meeting have been got up, on the eve of an adjourn meat. The malignant slanderers of Gen. Jackson positively declare, that but "fifig-sir aye ss 56'' in round num- bers, of the members of the Legislature joined in expressing wish that Gen. Jackson should be candidate for re- election Yet the letter, it will be ob- Iserved, is signed by stat5-eight members, and 1t does not contain all those who participated ill the meeting-ttree of the officers of the meeting, who are the Imost ardent and sincere friends of Gen. Jackson, viz: Mir. Bfolesa, of the Senate, the President; Mir. Smith, Speaker of the House of Representatives, one of the. Vice Presidents; and Dr. Burden, d member of the committee to draft reso- lutions, did not sig it; they with several |others of the most devoted friends of General Jackson, preterred expressing the feelings of the party by public meeting. The truth is, there were very few if any of the members of the Legis- lature, who ever were friendly to Gen. Jackson, that did not participate in that meeting or sign the letter; and, what is still more gailing to our reckless oppo- .nents, several highly respectable mem- bers, supporters of the eieefioa of .lb.. .adanas betore the lost Presidential election, ioifaed inth meeting end signed tue letter. Thus our friends in other States will dis cover, that the popularity of ANDREW J AgkSON is increased, instead of di- minishing in Pennsylvania.
