From the Unitwl States Telegraph. JACKSON IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Extract of a letter to a Member of Coa-

gret,s, dated HARRISDURG, APRIL 1, 1830. Pennsylvania is sound to the core for Gen

eral Jackson. He never had a stronger hold

upon the affections of the people of the this powerful State, than at the present moment. The Republican members'of the Legislutuie met last night in full Convention, for the purpose of organizing the party, and expi ess-

ing what they believed to be the sentiments

ot the State in relation to the course of the

general administration. It is plio to every one, that nothing can tend more firmiy to cement the bonds which unite the dt ntocratic family of the Unior, than an early knowl

edge that the President will consent again to

be a candidate; and the convention, uncle these impressions, proceeded imn edinely to

express its opinions and feelings cn this subject

John Brown, Esq. of the Senate, was President, and the Speakers, Messrs. Haw. xins, of the Senate, and Smith, of the House, Vice Presidents. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted unanimously: Whereas, in the opinion of this meeting, the policy and measures of the present administration of the General Government, accord with the true interests of the country,, and are such as the friends of the present venerable and distinguish individual, placed' at the head of the Government by the lice and voluntary suffrages of the people, anticipated and predicted, in the event ofhii success, and such as are not only approved by his former ti iends, but by many who op posed his election. And whereas, Pennsyi vania was the first State in the Union to present the name of Andrew Jaoison to ths American people, as a candiOate for ths Presidency, it is right that she should Le among the first to express her satisfaction at the prosperity and success ot his administiation: Therefore be in resolved, That, in the opinion of this'meeting, the present administration of the General Government mce's tho cordial and decided approbation ot ihe Democratic party, and of the people ol Pennsylva nia. Resolved That in the opinion of this meeting, the unanimity and haro rny o: the great Democratic party of ht Uf.O! wiii be greatly p-omoted, by again placi- g the name of Andukw Jackvon bclore the people, us a Candiouw for 1 1- elt cihn uIn addition to the above resc'utit r.s. auVpted by the Convention, a letter tus leui addressed to Gen Jackson, b t'.e nembes, expressing, in the strongest turns, thtii approbation of the " wise ai d judicious rtpu! ican measures, of his admii.istration 'I i.u-i you see, my dear Sir, that good old Peni.slvania has again boldly declaitd herstlt in ijvorof the People's Candidate, for the highest off.ee in the world' Rkmahks The position of this press, located at the seat ol Government, its piesumed relation to the Pi esident,the high respect and delicate regard which he has at all times maintained for public opinion, impose restraints upon it in relation to the discussion at this time, of the propriety, of his continuance in office for another tetm. When, at an early day, we expressed the opinion thnt the course of the opposition would leave the friends of the Piesidcnt no other alrcrnaihe than his nomination for rc-tlection, we foresaw that the violence with which they were assailed & the scrutiny with which his measures would be investigated, would ccr.firm and extend his popularity; and that the great body of the republican party who brought him into office, would look upon his re-election as the best answer to the calumnies of his enemies, and the surest protection cf those great principles, for the maintenance
