aW-tWo OF them the most popular Presidents
"a ever had, and the third filing place ia
ne common heart Of America'and the world,
larity.
:. In the -tirst era OF treason and secession
there was q singular resemblance between the /
conduct Of the insurrectionists in Western
PennBy lyan1a, and that Of our deluded breth-
:en in the Gulf States. They Killed, they
whipped, they tarred and feathered, they han-
shed they burned barns, houses, and alstl-
efies, and stopped ehortt Of seIzing the United [
st4~tes arsenal IN Pittsbnrg only for the want 7
# sufficient force It is said that this insur-
,ection at one time numbered Seven thousand
men In arms. There WIS great allowance to
oe made for these people. Most of them
we're from the north Of Ireland, where they
md hate excise laws. This excise law,
tnough warranted by the Constitution, TART. t
|, Sec. 81 and uniform throughout the United /
States, bore hard on the people Of the West, /
who were 80 remote from market that whisky
was the only form in which their produce
could be transported and turned into money. |
They were urged on BY ambitions demagagues, |
edy-few to arms and defed the Federal Gov !
Tie excise law Was modified to 1e- |
lfeve them Of their burdens; still they resisted.
Washington sent out commissioners to remon-
strate with them; still they resisted Wash- !
lngton's language on this occasion vas worthy |
Of a great ruler, Cost what 1t may, the peo-
pie must bp taught to obey the IaW.H he |
called out the militia Of New Jersey, Pennsyl-
yania, Maryland, and Virginia, put then, IN
der the command Of Gen. Henry Lee: then
Governor Of Virginia, and marched an army Of
fourteen thousand Jnen to FlIt5ourg. AS they
marched over the ground on which the hsur-
rection{sts paraded but yesterday, not dog
moved his tongue. The leaders fed to the
Spanish dom1n.on5 below, and there vas an
end Of insufrcctiol, treason, and secession.
At this day there is no spot in America where
the name Of Washington Is more reyered than
the spot where this lnsnrrection was put doHn.
NO people truer TO the CONSTITUTION ana the
Union, than the SONS and grandsons OF these
Asurrectlonlsts.
In the second cru Of treason and secession;
which occurred during the administrator q
LII: Jefferson, MILITARY foree WIS used, Gy
order OF the fresldent, 10 suppress Ihsur-
rectlon and PUNISH treason. BUR- hsd fa!len

were blasted. Still,
"To reign was worth ambition, though III lcll.:'
He came IN thc West wifi, his hra1 and heart

The third ern OF treason and secession oc-
cured IN 1867, during the administration OF
General jackson. lhe ostenslble object Of
complaint then,- was the revenue laws, which,
as was said, were oppressive to the people Of
the planting States. General Jackson bsl:ey-
ed this mere pretext on the part of the lead
ers. Whether he was right in this will not
undertake TO SAY: Whatever the griesance
was, they Tesorted for their remedy to seces-
sion and violence. They pulled down from
the custom house at charleston tue lag ct the
Union, and tFampled it nnder their feet, and
passed Laws IN the Legislature OF Sonth Caro-
| lima to resist the Federal Government in the
| collection Of the revenues. General Jackson,
following the example OF Washington, remon'
! 6tratcd earnestly With them agalnst their law
less conduct lut, VIXEN they refused to listen
| to reason, he ordered General Scott, with a
| garrison Of eight hundred men, te Fort btcul
| trle, to see that the laws were faithfully exc
| cuted. II by tfnnsmlgratlon, the soul OF An
| drew Jackson had occupied the body Of JaInee
Buchanan, We would have had peace to-day.
