II oy such measures as every ~virtuous candid

Mlfhln Dallas, in the performance of his
sacred duty, pledged at the Baltimore Con-

Ct George Mifflin Dallas, Vice President of
the United States, and can assure him that
ne has recently proved himself worthy ofhis
elevated station, and deserves the highest
praise from the Democratic party, for the
frm and manly stand he has taken in the
defence ofDemocratic principles.
ResoLred, That the speech of Vice presi-
dent Dallas, in justification of his course, is
entitled to the candid persual of every citi-
