The appointed meeting of the friends OF &c
neral Jackson, opposed to the removal OF the
Deposites, was held in Philadelphia on the Goth
inst. Dr. Jacob Prick, one of the editors of the
American Sentinel, was called to the chair.
preamble and series of resolutions were adopt
ed of a somewhat different tenor from any that
have hitherto appeared. They attribute much
of the hostility manifested against the Bank of
the United States to the rivalry between New
York and Pennsylvania for the trade of the
West, and to the desire of certain politicians in
New York to destroy the present Bank in order
to found upon its ruins another institution, in
their own Empire State, that they may control
the fiscal as they hope to control the political des-
TIMES of the country. The removal of the de-
posites they say, is a part Of this scheme, and
intended to cripple and injure Pennsylvania in
her present hour of need and lay her PROSTATE
at the feet of New York politicians and specu-
lators. They declare that the mea ure was a
violation of public faith pledged to the Bank
and has caused the distress under which the
country is now suffering.
