JOHN J.MITCHELL cheats, No 7, Commercial Row, Liberty street, al9•ly Pittsburgh isamtammow the IDailD „Morning Post - - From the Densocratk Review, F 4. 1844. . .., GEORGE M. DALLAS.' . Mr. Dallas was been in the city of 'Philadelphia oe the 10th day of July, 1792. He is the elder son of ...„. Alexander J. Dallas; one of the Molt accomplished ' --- T" advocates and distinguished statesmen that have adorn- ~.. ed the legal profession of the United States, or eus tained, in important posts of public trust, the pried- ~ 1 T ees and policy of the Republican party. He received '',.' the rudiments of his education at a school in German town, and afterwards at a Friends' Academy in Phil adelphia. At the age of 19, he was entered in Prince. ton College, and continued there until 1810, when he graduated with the highest honors of his class.— He delivered their valedictory address, which is still 4 - Iremembered and adverted to in the college history as a striking example of feeling, eloquence, and taste. ". Indeed. as a public speaker, he gave early promise 4 that excellence which has since been displayed in many •,.. of the prominent situations to which his talents have - elevated him; and a published oration, delivered when he was but seventeen years of age. and preserved'in the Port Folio, strikingly attests the maturity of his - -• powers. On leaving college, Mr Dallas commenced thsstudy office of the law, in the of his father, at Philadelphia; and although, in the intervals of that severe study, '' the more attractive forms of literature and poetry were nut unfrequentl) cultivated, he yet persevered with unceasing application in making himself a thorough ''... master of the great principles of the profession of which ' t ' ,he has since been so distinguished a member. He i was admitted to the bar in 11113 :loon after the dee- • laration of war with England, he had enrolled 'himself ...;. in a volunteer corps; and when, in the year 1813. Mr. Gallatin was appointed by President Madison a mem ber of the commission that repaired to St. Petersburg, ''• for the purpose of negotiating a pence under the medi ation ... of the Emperet Alexander, he accompanied that ~-.., minister as his private and confidential secretary. During a residence of more than a yeas 4 ' 'in Europe, Mr. ~- Dallas bad an opportunity of visiting Itllssia, France, ':- England, Holland, and the Netherlands. While hr Eng land, a family connection with Lord Byron brought him into frequent association with that great ressi who then, at twenty-five years of age, was receiving in London the general and enthusiastic admiration • which the appearance of his two beautiful poems, the , Giaour and the Bride of Abytlos, could not fail to call forth. It was in consequence of a remark of Mr. Dal e las, upon the popularity in America of Childe Haruki,and some of his previous poems, that he declared in his journal that these were the first things th it ever sound ed to his ears like fame; and that popularity in a fair and rising country, caused tidings very different from the ephemeral praises of the crowd of fashion thee - •::::. 4 ' buzzing around him. Through another relative, the = . humane and eloquent jurist who was then the chief justice of the court of common pleas, it was Mr. Dal las's good fortune to be thrown, not unfrequently, into the society society of some of those eminent lawyers who bay., by the brilliancy of their genius, and devotion to phi- • lanthropy, made their profession yet more distinguish ed than it was in previous days. Romilly, whose be- neficence flowed in a current so transparent, copious. and strong; Brougham, with his far-reaching, inquisi tive, ... • and undaunted uttraistn; Mackintosh. who could wisely and kindly apply to the heated actions, and in the busy forums of men, the rules of conduct which he had deduced in the patient reflections of a guileless life—these were men whose society, even transiently enjoyed by one much younger, could not fail to leave impressions equally permanent. useful, and gratifying. In A ugnst, 1814, Mr Dulles returned to the United States, bearing the despatches from the American .1 commissioners then holding their sessions at Ghent, which announced the prospects little favorable to a speedy peace that ale known to have resulted from the earlier c..nferences with the British envoys. On his ;,, arrival, he found his father transferred from the bar of 1 1 4 Philadelphia to the head of the Treasury Department .4 —a post requiring, in the complicated state of the finances, and amid the pressing exigencies of the war, all the resources of judgment and talent for which he had been already distinguished, but which he was now destined to display through a brilliant administration ,of two years, under circumstances and in a manner. that secured for him a yetlarger share of the applause ' and confidence of the people of the United Slates. His sail remained with him fur a time at Washington, to assist him in the arduous antics of the Treasury, and then returned to Philadelphia, to resume, or rather to ' commence, the actual practice of his pt:oTessium-.-an .' ' event that was almost immediately followed. by his 9 marriage with an accomplished lady, the daughter of Mr Nicklin, an eminent merchant of that city. A The death of his father, which occurred shot tly after ire retired from the administration .of the Treasury Department, took from Mr Dallas, in the outset of his career at the bar, not merely the benefit of professional assistance seldom equalled, but thoseliod and endear- • ing associations which could have grown up or.ly in intercourse with one whose genies was not more bril liant .: than his affections were warm. Self-dependent, however, he a pplied himself with the more ardor to the practice,of the law; and being appointed, in 1317, the deputy of the Attorney General in the city of Philadel- - Oda, he soon gave evidence of Unit skill in conducting criminal cases which hns always disting,uishecrhis oc casional attention to that branch of his profession.— When, in thefollowing year, charges were introduced into the assembly of Pennsylvania against Governer Findlay, which resulted in a legislative investigation. Mr Dallas acted as his counsel; and the firmness and ability which he displayed throughout the whole pro ceeding, placed him at once, by genernl consent, in a rank in his profession that has seldom been attained • by so young an advocate. . It is scarcely to•cossary to remark, that the exigen cies of a legal life could not withdraw Mr Dallas from the deepest interest in political tOpies. Deriving, from the coudoct and cotaisela of his father, and room the associations of his earliest youth, as well as those of later Vears, a strong ntinchment to the prim iples and views of the Democratic party, Ise had never failed to co-operate with his fellow citizens in the measures which were calculated to advance them. The more tranquil administration of Mr. Monroe, succeeding to the fierce political conflicts which existed during the war with England, did not present many questions thatral lied party controversies on national affairs; but the else- - tion of Gov. Reinter in Pennsylvania had brought the Federal party into power in that State, after along reeled of Democratic ascendancy , and no ono embark ed with more zeal than Mr. Dallas in endeavoring to effect the restoration of the policy which he believed to be essential to a sand and just administretion of the affairs of the Commonwealth. These efforts re sulted in the triumphant reelection of Gov. Sbultte, the c a ndidate of the Democratic party,. - Dot while unanimity. followed by sneeess, thus at ' tended the course of his political associates in the state, ithe elements of division among the democtacy of the Union began lobe apparent in regard to the individual who was to succeed Mr Monroe Early personal asere I c i a tions, as well te a just appreciation of his d , ' guished talents, hid led Mr Deltas to unite wish a 4. portion of his political friends in Pennsylvania in it . v ' sire that ti is vote of the state should he given to Mr - ,Calhoun; and die success wi th which that stateii: use 'bad conducted the administration of the War Dopers-. meat ferthe eight previousyears seemed to giveacer win pledge, notwithstanding his eomparativeloads, of the ability he would display in any Executive efilleito w_hiehe.the veins of his coentrynien should 0111J100:7 - AlEllisa, however. the general sentiment cirlbltilkeiclov• eiks . piety throughout the Union expoLissird admire to center it en the irenerebki patriot whobsd so long and so faithfully maintained their principles inshitious posts 'of civil trust, and so brilliant l v ly - a tidghe glory of' \ his country in the field dilik ' hir Dngraenallas, with senti ments towards Genteel Jeanie le which the friends of lir Calhoun in Peonsylvorda at ante participated, took the lead in. suggesting that the younger coindldiftk ry y -y. .n .
