He'is the elder son of Alexaeder J. Dallas, one of the most .nc'coitiplisbed advocates and distinguishied statesman that have adorned the legal brofession of the United Staten, or sustained, in important posts of public trust, the principles and policy of the Re publican.:party. He received the rudi ments of his education at .a school in Ger manrown, and afterwards at the Friends' :Academy in Philadelphia. At the age of i.. be was entered in Prineeton College, and. colitinued. there until 1810, whets b.he was gyaddated sritb the higliest lionrir of his laas. .ie deliieed .Their vajedictory addiess whieli isstill reti enidiered add ad i'erted .to in the college history ss.aiitrl king example of feeln, eloquence and taste. Indeed, as a public speaker. he gave , early protmise of. that excelledec which haa since been displayed in many -of the protniaeot situatious. to which his talents . have -elef'afeil him; and a pub lished oration, delivered when he was but seventeen years of age, and preserved in the Port Folio, strikingly attests the ma turity of his powers. On leaving college, M. Dallas commen ced the study of the law in the office of his father, at Philadelphia; and although, in the intervals of that severe study, the more 'attractive forms. of literature, and poetry were not unfrequently-cultivated, he yet persevered with-encreasing application in maliings himself a thorough master of the great principles of the profession of which he has since been so distinguished a mem ber. He was admitted to the bar in 1813. -Sooi after the declration of war with F.ng land, he enrolled himself in a volunteer corps; and when in the year 1813, Mr. Gal latin was appointed by President Madison a niember-of the commission that repaired io. St. Pete' abdrg, for the purpose of neg otiating a'peace under the emperor Alex adder he accmpanied that Minister as his private and confidential secretary. During a residence of more than a year in Europe Mr. Dallas had an opportunity of visiting Russia,.France, England, H6llaud; and the Netberlands. In August, 1814, he returned to the [Jnitod States, bearing the despatches from the American commissioners then holding their sessions at ''ent, which announced the prospects lite favorable to a speedy peace that. are known to have resulted from the earlier confere...:es with the British envoys. On hisarrival. he fount his father transferred from the bar of Philadelpia to the head of the Treasury Departmont-a post requiring, in th'e complicated state of the fiuaoeds, and amid the pressingexigen. cies of the war, all the resources ofjtudge ment and talent for which he was no. d6s tined to display through a hilliant admin stratiun of two years, under circamsiances and itn manner that secured for hin a yet larger share of the applauseo and confidence of the people of the United States. His son remained with him for a time at Wash ington, to assist him in the ardutous duties of the'1'reasury, and thfen returned toPhil adelphia. to resume; or rather to com mence the actual practice of his profession an event that was almost immediately fol lowed by his marriage with an accomplish ed lady, the daughter of Mr. Nicklin, an eminent merchant of that city. In the year 1831, Mr. Dallas was select ed to 'ill a vacancy in the representation from Pennsylvania, in the Senate of the United States. On the'expiration of his t'erm he retired from the Senase of theU. S. and was-selected by Govenor Wolf, as Attorney General of the State of Pennsyl vauia. The next most conspicuous event in Mr. Dallas political life was his appoint: ment by Mr. Van. Buren, immediately after his election, to the post of Envoy Extraordinary and M inister Plenipoteniia; ry to Russia, where he remained till Octo ber. 1839. Since Mr. Dallas' retu'rnfrom Russiahe hasi devotedhinise'lf to tho prac tie of his profession. TH E DEMOtRATIC *PL ATFOXR0i. The foillowing declaration of principles, resented ify the 110f:.'B.. F.

That it is the duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the Government. 6. That Congress-has no power to char ter a National Bank; that we believe such an institution one of deadly hostility to the best interests of the country, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated money power, and above the laws and the will of the people. 7.

That the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the 'Declaration of inde pendence, and sanctioned in the Constitu tion, which !bakes ours the land of liberty, and the asylum of the oppressed of every,. nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the Democratic faith; and every attempt to abridge the present privilege of becotnag citizens and the owners of soil among us, ought to be resisted with .the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statpte book.
