Pennsylvania—The news from this State, is of a character calculated to enliven the feelings of every true patriot and friend to the present administration. It appears by every account from that quarter, that a complete and general revolution has taken place, as it regards the state of the Presidential question. The very large and respectable administration meetings in the various counties, where at the last Presidential election none but Jackson men were to be found, will bear witness to our opinion and the strong hopes which we may fairly entertain as to the final result. It has been said that foreigners in that State, would still remain attached to the cause of the Hero, and therefore no fear was to be apprehended. But it appears that the German counties have at length come out in favor of the administration, and convinced the Jacksonians how little dependence is to be placed on this circumstance.—Prov. Cad.
