Title
Report on the insurgents in Pennsylvania
Description
Pickering reports on the insurgents in Pennsylvania. At present, the country is at peace and those who have not surrendered or been taken into custody, have fled to neighboring states. Suggests that John Franklin is the instigator of all the disorders. The inhabitants have long been bickering with Pennsylvania on the basis of lies and artifices of a few designing men. Recommends establishing a post at Tioga in order to establish the authority of the government.
