Pennsylvania dismissed her Sena
tor and approved the decision of
Congress, and ot the nation, by
passing, a few days after his re
port, by an almost an unanimous
vote in her Legislature, the fol
lowing resolution:
"Resolved, That the conduct of Ma
jor General Andrew Jackson, in the
iate war with Great Britain and his sav
age allies, and in the late Seminole ivar
is marked with energy, skill and patrio
tism, not surpassed in the annals of our
country, and inasmuch as the approba
tion of his country is the highest re
ward that a hero and patriot can receive
tnev. therefore, approve of the con
duct of Gen. Jackson , and the decision
of Congress thereon; and that the Gov
ernor be, and he is hereby requested to
present the thanks of this Common
wealth to Major General Andrew Jack
son, in a manner that he may deem pro
per ou the occasion."
In a letter addressed to the
Spanish minister, relative to the
ate, Gen. Jackson was appointed
by the President, with the concur
rence of the Senate, Minister
Plenipotentiary to the government
of Mexico: but he declined the
station from a repugnance to the
monarchical system which then
prevailed in Mexico, and to the
means by which the supreme pow
er had been usurped.
In the various critical situations
in which Gen. Jackson was placed
by emergencies, and the Unlimit
ed discretion cast upon him, he
appears to have been governed by
general and solid principles, which
he knew how to apply satisfacto
rily in explaining his measures.
The numerous testimonials he
has received from his fellow-citizens
and from the General Gov
ernment, evidence the high esti
mation in which his talents and
services have been held and his
receiving, at the Presidential elec
tion in 1824, 99 of the 261 votes
in the electoral colleges, (the pre
sent incumbent only receiving 84,)

conduct of Gen. Jackson in the j when four of the most disting-

"The President will neither inflict

rest patriotism, ot the necessity for
which he had the most immediate and
effectual means of forming a judgment,
and the vindication of which is written
in every page of the law of nations, as
well as in the first law of nature self
defence." The following testimony of the
illustrious Jefferson, embraced in
a note addressed to Gen. Jack
son in iNovember, 1320, will also
be read with interest:
"Th. Jefferson returns his thanks
to General Jackson for the copy, he has
been so good as to send him, of the vin
dication of the proceedings in the Semi
nole war. If doubts on those proceed
ings, have existed in candid minds, this
able vindication can scarce fail to remove
them. In addition to what had before
been laid before the public, it brings
forward some new views and new facts
of great weight. Qn the whole, he can
not doubt, but that the gratitude of his
country, for former achievements, will
be toriified by those ne;v proofs of the
mlulury energies of their great ben
efactor -hr salutes the General with
assurances of his constant and affection

When the treaty with Spain
ceding the FJoridas was finally
ratified, Congress passed a law
empowering the President to vest
in such person or persons as he
might select, all the military, civil
and judicial authority exercised by
the officers of the Spanish govern
ment. The President under this
law appointed General Jackson
in the first place as commissioner
for receiving the provinces, and
then to assume the government of
them. After the government of
the provinces was organized, he
del
Secretaries, and returned to Nash
ville; the injury which his health
had received from the personal
hardships, inevitable to his cam
paigns, forbade him to protract
his residence in Florida.
In 1823, General Jackson was
again elected to the Senate of the
union, in which body he continu
ed until 1325, when he resigned,
in consequence of having been
again nominated as a ennrJirlfUn
lor the Presidency.

Stale Bank. We arc pleased to learn
from an authentic source, that the Presi
dent and Directors of the State Bank of
Norih-Carolina are verv industriously
employed in withdrawing their notes
from circulation, and burning large
amounts to prevent for the future ex
cessive issues. They retain a sufficient
amount to transact a sale and profitable
business. The Principal Bank and some
of the branches now pay specie on de
mand, and we are induced to believe
that in a short time every Branch of this
Institution will do the same.
North-Carolina bank notes are rated
at present as follows:
At Fayetteville, 2 to 2 per ct. disc.
At New-York, 4 to 5 do.
At Petersburg, 5 to 6 do.
