Tn Philadelphia. on the Sd inst, the friends
81 the Hon. George Mitlin Dallas, ex-vice
president of lie United States, had quite
large and enthusiastic meeting, in which reso.
,nt;ons were passed heartily recommending that
gentleman to the people Of the United States as
q man most ct and deserving of their suffrapes
At the next Presidential election. His services,
character and claims we're referred to eloouently
and forcibly. We have nothing to say dispar-
aging the resolutions Mr.. Dallas is an able,
and, we believe, an honest man; and would
make better Chief Magistrate than the coun-
try has enjoyed for q long time, with the single
exception Of Willard Fillmore, whose ability,
truth and devotion to the whole Union, few
now deny.
We look upon INSTRUMENTATION as the initia.
tory move in the Dallas and JEFF. Davis pro,
gramme. It is fair to count Dallas very strong
in the great " Key .stone State" and every
body, Of any intelligence, is aware Of the
strength Of Col. Jefferson Davis in the South.
The ticket would be formidable one for any
party to encounter. As We understand the
arrangements, we are inclined to think, how
ever, that the business is fixed somewhat in the
kangaroo style strongest in the hind legs. Da-
Wis for President, and Dallas for Vice President,
would be far stronger before the people than
Dallas for President and Davis for Vice Presi-
dent. ~
But, this is nothing but an expression d
opinion. Davis has powerful enemies in his
own State, and in his own ranks. Senator
Brown and Gen. Quitman will have something
to say, we opine, in regard to Presidential and
Vice Presidential nominations. his understood

War almost ss warm as that which the father
of Hannibal swore his son TO observe towards
Rome! II is also rumorsd that Senator Sill

Then, again, there is Gen. Quitman, very
liustly STYLED the Cheyalier Bayard Of the
lsouth-a man sans peuy ct sans yeproche, in
leyerything disconnected with partisan warfare.
He came very near being nominated for the
Vice Presidency Of the United States in ls4s.
