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,. -
