tice of the comparison in the following
short and pithy extract which we make
from an article in the Uarrisburg (Pa.
Patriot and Union:
I'VE had rebellion once in Pernsvl-
vanis. 1t extended over a number Of
western counties. 1t was caused by whs-
Ky. or. more properly speaking, a tax upon
whisky. Washington summoned an ar
my. AID marched westward, but before he
reache the scene Of Ihe revolt the rebels
dispersed, and the rebellion came to All
end The President was satisfied with
this result He did not say, This rebel
lion was caused by whisky. and we can: :,ot
hope for Eesce while there is a gallon ci
whisky distilled in Pennsylvania. lie
did not endeavor 10 remove the cause by
demolishing all the dis.ileres in Pennsyl-

continued TO be distilled there was reason
To- anticipate periodical rebellions. His
business was to enforce the laws lie did
that promptly and summarill. and con
side red the work finished Now whisky
was undeniably cause of this rebellion
Had there been no whisky there would
have been no rebellion. Whisky was az
much the cause Of that rebellion AS slave.
ry is Of this We have never had anoth
er rebellion on account Of whisky. and
when this rebellion is put down. we viii
never have another rebellion on account
Of slavery"
