The Whiskey Insurrectior--.II Fa-
 sifed--The GaZette,s Islander upon Buch-
 anan Exposed.
 We are almost weared> of exposing the mis- representations of the Gazette. The one III Its last issue, however, is too outrageous to be sui fered to go uncontradicted. The editor is him. self absent His ex-Senatorial friend fills his shoes Dr. Borland is, sub rosa. the editor, and, as such, perpetrates a falsehood upon James Buchanan, that ought to damn him forever in moral community.
 In noticing Senator Tombs' alluson to the 'whskey insurrection" in Pennsylvania during the administration of Washington, Dr. Boqla1sd, the sleeping partner' of the Gazette establish ment, says:
 "In this alusion to the rebellion in Pennsyl- vania,' we think Mr. Toombs is neither histori- cally nor politically correct. If our reading be not greatly at fault, this rebellion,' (the only one in that State) occurred long atter the ad- ministration of Wdshington-was, indeed, du- ring the administration of Madisoa, and grew out of the system of direct taXation,' which being deemed excessively heavy upon ,chaskey, the distilling of which was then large and fa- vorite business in western Pennsylvania, in duced the people, interested in that business, to refuse to pay the tax, and resist its collection by force of arms The system, of which this taA&was part, was democratic measure, of that day, approved by Jeferson, and practically car ried out by 1Nadison: and, as such, it was op- posed, denounced, and even forcibly resisted by the old tederal party"
 In this paragraph, Dr. Borland pretends to recite history. He tells us the ''rcbellon' took place during the administration of President Madison; he even goes farther, and charges that Mr. Buchanan anstigated the rebellion-he even pretends to quote the very language of MT. Buchanan, used upon the occasion ; he says Buchanan styled the excise law which occa- stoned the instruction as one of the naelcn- cto monuments of the aoeak and aoicked policy 9 our qove,nme1a;' he speaks of Mr. Buchanan as lone of the bad aauisers oho instjqated Me rebel hon."
 Now who would suppose all.this to be de- libcrate and wilful falsehood ? It is impossi- ble for Us even to imagine that Dr. Borland is ignorant of the subject upon which he writes We cannot with the greatest exerton, extend our charity so far as to believe an ex-U. s Senator to be ignorant of one of the most noto- rious events in the history of our country.
 When the "whiSkey insurrecton'' occurred James Buchanan was just three years old- Buchanan was born in 1791. The insurrectior was in 1794 Instead of having taken place under Madisons administration, 1t broke ou under Washington's. For the full history O the whole affair, we refer our readers to the proclamations and message of Gen. Washington dated respectively August, September and No vember, l194, to be found in the 20th volume of the American State Papers," between pages 83 and 1l3.
 At the time of this rebellion, Buchanan wa, about three years old, how then could he have been tone of te Jad men 104o nst'gate} # 2''- How could he have used the language artribu- ted to him by Dr. Borland? Is it not evident that, the Doctor, to sustain d weak and droop- ing cause has stopped to perpetrate a direct and wilful falSehood
 e are tempted to turn one ot Dr. Borland' own batteries against him. The Doctor, in all article, few weeks ago, argued that man who would tell a palpable falschood, is .t@ol We will give the argument in his own words

 Not only the reasoning, but the language, is Doctor Boriand's. Whether it is good or not, he and his friends must decide The appiica tion of t, we know to be just and merited. The FueiOn iii Iowa---'The Quarrel---Ths
