TANCE OF Mr.. DALLAS!
The following, from the Philadelphia
Times, of June !, ends all conjecture al
to Mr.. DALLAS. He accepts, and will be
next Vice President OF the Union.
The scene described below, must have
been singularly rich. We have laughe
till our eyes run over, the description
Thpre is fine field far reflection, too in
a nomination thus unheralded and un.
sought The simple reception Of, and
reply 10 the communication, by Mr.. DAL'
LAS, furnishes evidence Of a good and
patriotic heart.
"The news ofthe nomination of Geo.
NJ. Dallas was conveyed 10 that gentle,
man in singular manner, and merits a
notice. 1t was arranged IObe announced
10 him by the Eastern delegation on their
way home from the Convention. Ac.
companied by Senator Walker, of Missis-
sippi, personal friend Of Mr.. Dallas, the
delegates, 60 in number, arrived in this
city on Friday morning about 81 o'clock
or course almost every body was yet
asleep. The party soon reached Mr.
DIS house in Walnut below Tenth street,
and Mr.. Walker, ascending the Steps, rang
the bell. After pause, Mrs. D. put her
head out of the window, and seeing Mr.. (.
Walker, conjectured that some misfortune
had happened TO her daughter, rssids mt
in Washington: Mr.. Walkers remark, u
wish to see MI. Dallas immediately con-
firmed her suspicious. and she hastily
awakened her husband, communicating
the sad conjectures. He ran down stairs
half dressed and hare footed-opened the
dOor-when to bis utter amazsment, in
walked sixty or more gentlemen, two by
two, with the tread of soldier passing him
by and entering his front parlOr as though
TO make him d captive. Not having the
slightest conception Of their object, he
stood thunder struck at the scene. Me.
Walker led him into the back ParlOr.-
my dear Walker said he in Omazement,
what is The mstterf 'Wait one moment
if you please, Dallas-wail one moment,
If you please"
The folding doors we're then thrown
open, and the whole delegation stepping
forward, gave three deafening cheers for
PoLK and DALLAs' Mr.. d. stood para.
lized. Mr.. Walker enjoyed his discOm6.
.ure. Gov. Fairfield Of Maine, then ste p
ped forward, and in the name of the dele.
cation, solved the mystery in the following
brief speech:
Mr.Dallas, / have the honor TO inform
