What did Jackson's veto of the Bank of the Untied States recharter bill represent?
I am not sure what you mean by "represented". His veto was based on his long-standing position that this 2nd bank of the US was an agency which helped to establish a ruling class in the US and bad for the majority of the people. The bill was politically timed to force Jackson to make the bank a campaign issue in the election of 1832. (The charter did not expire until 1834, so there was no reason to recharter it at the time of the bill.)
Let ME give you a clear answer k... um Jackson's veto was dealt to the composition of the second bank of the U.S. because Nicholas Biddle (bank's director) decided to push for a bill to renew the Bank's charter in 1832. Jackson claimed he "would kill it" and true to his word, he vetoed the legiskation when congress sent it to him. So that's the significane okay? :)

What effect did President Jackson in vetoing the second bank of the UShave on the economy?
The bill was to re-charter the Bank of the US. The president of the bank was a long-time Jackson enemy and he pressured Congress to time the bill in order to make it a campaign issue. Jackson had long opposed the bank because it had become a political arm of the Eastern establishment of which Jackson was not a member. He believed that a national bank was unconstitutional.

made credit easy on the west, causing a unhealthy financial bubble in land speculation.

Jackson proved that a man could rise from poverty and obscurity to become president.
