WASHINGTON, March 6 <S24
ALBERT GALLATIN
This gentleman has been nominated bv a
m*e*ing of members of Congress a’ Washing
ton, and recommend and to ‘lie people of die
United S a es. as a sui able candidate for the
office of Vic* President, As it was t>o have
been expect and, he is most scandalously assail
ed bv the federalist and apostate* : his cha
rae'eris most grossly abused •. and his public
acts m >s< shamefully fats fi-*d and distorted.
Why? B cause lie has been nominated bv a
caucus of democrats, in conjunction with Mr.
Ciawford for the preside icv, and because he
Was f Mind Wir'hv of the honour of the nomi
nation for the impart an’ services he hasreoder’d
thecotuvrv,& the uniform republican principles
he has pub'icly manifested since he became an
adopted citizen of this repub c. Albor Gal
latin has been so long before ’he American
community ; he has so repeatedly received the
■'congest marks of confidence from the people,
that it is unnecessary <> dwell now on wha he
bas don.* to merit that confidence. But as his
Character and pa riot ism have been questioned
—only since ‘he nomma*ion—md as r<>bi ,, b
manv of our readers mav not recol’ect the r n*
■actions in which he concerned. .ml *OIOO
are now maliciously misrepresented, we be
lieve it our duty to lay before ‘he public what
We know on the Subj'X : and which is of his
torical record.
Mr. Gallatin is charged with having been
one of he promoters of the insurrection in
P nusylvania, in the years 1793 and 1794. In
(791, the federal government had imnosed a
duty on spiri’uous liquors distilled within the
Urn'ed Spates. This duty was heavily felt bv
the inhabitants of wes'ern Pennsylvania, and
opposed generallv by the people of the Uni
ted S ates, under the just impressions, that
■xci.se laws were tvranuic&l and destructive
of lib-rty, and had *hc tendency to form an
oi dependants to .ie existing ad
ministration, which would lead ‘o a system of
government altogether aristocratical or mon
archical in its operations. This opposition
acquired double farce by the hostility general
ly manifested at the time, to’he measure a
dnptfd bv the government, on the plan pr po*
••<1 O- n Hamilton, of funding ‘he debt, of
the uL’t-d States. Some of the most dis in-
pa rints of the revolt! ion Jefferson,
MatT'on, Randolph. Tav'or. cfCaroline, SiC.
were id verse to ‘he higli handed measures re
commended bv Hamilton, P-ckering, and o
thers of the same a-istocratical predilections,
and adop-ed by Congress The inhabi'an's
west of the AUeganv moun’ains, remons-rated
•gainst the excise laws, and <en’ a memorial
to Congress earnest Iv soliciting their repeal.
This memorial was signed, if we mistake nor,
t>y Albert f?aMa*in This is all the part lie
took in the transaction Unfurtunax’y, the
gove runent was deaf to the constitutional re
monstrances of the people of Pennsylvania,
and. m fact, of the United Sta'es. Ihe grie
vances were not redressed; on the contrary,
instructions were sent by the Secretary of the
Treasury Gen. Hamilton, to all the excise of.
<3c ?-s. to use force, if it was necessary, in be
collect ion of the tax Mr- Gallatin, possess
ing .nfluence among the people, used all his
exertions to prevent the bursting of the storm
that was gathering in that section of the state.’
Jiut what could he do with a people, whose
rMn?s had been excited to the highest pitch
b’ the grievances under which thev were then
lahou ring, with no prospects of immediate
telwf? Resistance became the watch word of
the people of the interior of Pennsylvania, and
the government determined to quell by arms
tli is pre’ ended insurrection. Tlie militia of
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ma*
rvl*nd were called in’o ac*ual serv*ee. Bu
Hr. Gallatin, and seme other warm friends
’ of the c mntry, prevailed with the roalecon
tents, and peace was restored without the ef
fu, on of blood,’ on the assurance that ’he
nox< #us laws should be repealed or modified,
—They were repealed sometime after.
Oir readers will recollect that this insur
rection began in 1793, and that tranquility
Was restored in 1794. If Mr Gallatin had
been one of the fbinen’.ers ofthat insurrection,
•s it is called, is it to be presumed that in the
year 1794, he would have been elected a ser.
•tor in the Congress of the United Sta*es from
the Bt a te of Pennsylvania ? This mark of con
legislature of that state, shows
