The Whiskey Rebellion.

We think every man. not absolutely
monomaniac Oh the subject OF slavery, will
sec at a glance the proprie,y and justice of
comparison in the following short pithy ex
tract which we make from an article 10 the
Harrisburg, Pa. Patriot and Union:
We had arebel,ion once in Pennsylvania.
1t extended over number OF Western
counties. 1t was caused by whisky, or more
properly speaking a tax upon whisky -
Washington summoned an army and march
ed Westward. but before lie reached the
scene Of the revolt, the rebels dispersed.
and the rebellion came 10 an end. Tie
Pr sident was satisfied with this result =
He did not say this rebellion was caused
by whisky, and we cannot hope for peace
while there Is q gallon of whisky distilled
10 Pennsylvania" He did not endeayor to
remove the cause by dsmolishin5 all the
distilieries in Pennsylvania. He did net
say while whisky continued to be distilled
there was reason 10 anticipate periodical re-
belIions His business was to enfo:ce the
laws. lie did that promptly and summari-
IL. and considered the work ini,hed.-
Now whisky was undeniably cause Of his
rebellion. Had there be no whisky there
would have been no rebellion. Whisky was
AS much the cause of that rebellion sla
very is Of this. We have never had anoth-
or rebellion on account Of whisky, and when
this rebellion is put down We will never have
another rebellion on account OF slavery.

we are toll that they are remarkably busy
throughout tie country doing the same
thing These semi-traitors are not p,tttiag
in this crop for nothing--they expect to reap
harves, in the fall. or they would not now
be sowing seed. Why should they thus
concern themselves? Why does the Breck

such complacency and eviden, satisfaction,
even to volunteering its advice in regard TO

No aJnfiI.aeiy Nomination.

We wish TO do no injustice to Mr.. Julian
and his friends, but it does appear To us
that they are pursuing very inJudicious
and mischievous course iii demanding that
a uoIniua,i Tor Congress shall be made at
this time. Why can they not wait awhile
liz all the counties OF the district, except
Wayne and Randolph. TIE people are will
ing to wait until after the meeting of the
State Convention. Why should the pecu-
liar friends of Mr.. Julian in Wayne be in
such haste 70 have the nomin alton made
now, far as their county is concerned!
Do they think the decision Of Wayne in ia
vor of Mr. Julian. with no one in the field
against him, will be tantamount to a NOM
ination from the whole district? If they do
they are sadly mistaken.
1t is not expedent TO make party nom
ination at this time, If indeed such uomin-
alton can be considered expedent at any
lime during the existence OF the war. We
ought to allay party strife as much as pos
sible. and labor to secure harmony of feel
ing and action among the masses, that we
may the more cordially unite in the support
of the Government in crushing the rebellion
which party strife has nouSshed and brought
into being. This is work in which all
true patriots should labor shoulder to should
er, making the maintenance OF the COnStl-
tuition and the laws the object nearest their
hearts, ard infinitely mole sacred than any
platform ever enacted. The country mus.
be saved, if all parties and platforms are bu-
rled by the struggle In eternal oblivion
For one we are willing to sacrifice party on
the altar of country. We see the evil re-
suits OF heated party contests in the present
wicked rebellion. Such contests should no
longer disgrace our country and destroy the
peace and happiness of our people. We
should rise above all petty questions. when
the existence Of the Government is threaten
ed by disappointed and wicked paEtiSans,
and resolve to make every sacrifice in de-
Tense ofthe Government. Old party names
should be forgotten. All men should join
the Union" party. and rally under the
stars and stripes, the 'banner Of beauty and
OF glory"
These are our views. briefly written
We want 10 nomination made for Congress
for months to come. II Mr.. Julian is the
choice Of a majority of the 'Republicans
and Union men" in the district, he can Sc
cure The nomination at any time. 1t he is
not, he can't get it now nor at any future
period. He can't gain any advantage by
early and hasty action on the part of his par
ticular friends at the bidding of a defunct
Central Committee. We again advise them
