GREAT ANTI-JAcKsoN MEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
II is believed that great collection Of persons
was present at thetown meeting held yesterday AFTER
noon in the STATE House Yard, for the purpose Of re-
probating the late Veto Message of President Jack
son, ms has attended amy assemblage of the kind for
long time past. Their numbers variously estima-
ted atfrom four five thousand and their respeetn
bilty was in keeping with their numerical force
Most Of the officers chosen for The occasion were gen.
tlemen who had originally been adherents ofthe pres
ent Chief Magistrate, but who, disguised with the
manner in which tho administration OF the govern
ment has been conducted had recognized the error of
their ways" Entire unaDmity prevailed throughout.
The resolutions were all passed without dissenting
voice; and offered BY Josia, Randall, Esq. re-
commanding union 10 the people of Pennsylvania, in
order to prevent Vie electoral vote Of the State from
being given to Gen. jackson, was adopted by accIa-
nation. We trust that the recomme ndaon win be
heededfand that Pennsylvania. having been the main
cause Of the elevation Of the hero to the Presden
tal chair believing him worthy to gil it, will also be
the main cause Of deprving him Of it, that he has
proved himself unfit for the place. ,
