He graduated at Princeton College. Entering the Revolutionary Army in 1776 as a Captain, he was the following year promoted to the command of the second Mary- land Regiment. In the campaign of the South, he distinguished him- self at Cowpens, where Lee said that he turned the fortunes of the day, where for the first time during the war charging with fixed bayonets was resorted to, and where it is reported that he had in his hands at one time the swords of seven officers who had surrendered to him per- sonally. Serving until the close of the war, he retired to his estate in Maryland. He owned a large part of the present city of Baltimore, and presented to Judge Samuel Chase, the Signer, the site for his resi- dence to induce him to settle there (Sanderson's Lives). He was a member of the Continental Congress in 1787. In 1788, he was chosen Governor of the State, and he held that office three years.

S., a native of Jamaica, who had m. in England Arabella Maria, dau. of Maj. George Smith, of the British Army, whose wife was a dau. of Rev. William Barlow, Rector of Stoke Damarell, Devonshire, whose wife was a dau. and co-heiress of Sir Nicholas Trevanion, Kt. After graduating at Princeton in 1810, George M. Dallas began the study of law under his father's supervision, and in 1813, after being admitted to the bar, accompanied Albert Gallatin as his private secretary when that gentleman was sent to Russia to negotiate peace with the representatives of Great Britain. After his return, Dallas began the practice of law. He attained distinction in the profession, although so much in public life, and thereby obliged to absent himself from the courts and his clients. For some time he acted as solicitor of the United States Bank. In 1817, he was appointed assistant to the District Attorney of Phila. Co., and in 1828 was elected Mayor of the City. He was a warm advocate of the election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency in 1828, and, said Col. Chas. J. Biddle in his eulogy, " To his suc- cess, no man in Pennsylvania contributed so much as Mr. Dallas. Through his agency the friends of Calhoun were rallied to the sup- port of Jackson." After Jackson became President, he appointed Dallas U. S. District Attorney for Pennsylvania. Holding this office two years, Dallas was sent to the U. S. Senate in 1831 to fill the va-

cancy caused by the resignation of Isaac D. Barnard. In that body he favored the re-chartering of the United States Bank, to which Jackson was opposed, but which the Legislature of Pennsylvania recommended, and he introduced the bill for that purpose Jany. 9, 1832. In February, the Legislature of Pennsylvania instructed both the Senators from the State to vote for it (the other Senator was Wil- liam Wilkins, who had married Dallas's sister), which they did at every stage of its passage. They also voted for the bill to enforce the collection of the revenue against the " nullifiers." When Henry Clay introduced his compromise bill annually reducing the duties on im- ported articles so that in nine years there should be only a duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem, and that no more revenue should be raised than necessary for the support of the government, Dallas declared that he would sanction nothing in the bill as an abandonment of the principle of protection ; and he and Wilkins voted against the bill of the same purport passed by the House of Representatives, which Clay accepted in place of his own. Declining re-election at the close of his term in 1833, Dallas returned to the practice of his profession. In October of that year, he was appointed Attorney-General of Penna., and served until 1835. From 1837 to 1839, he represented the United States as Minister at the Court of St. Petersburg. He was given by the Democratic Convention of 1844 the second place on the national ticket, and on the 4th of March, 1845, after the hard fought cam- paign resulting in the defeat of Clay and Frelinghuysen, Polk was inaugurated President, and George M. Dallas, Vice President of the United States. As Vice President he gave the casting vote in favor of the third reading of the Tariff Act of 1846, which reduced the tariff as adjusted by the Act of 1842. Under the presidencies of Pierce and Buchanan, he was U. S. Envoy Extraordinary and Minis- ter Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. James. He died in Phila. Dec. 31, 1864, bu. St. Peter's.
