Statement on the Whiskey Rebellion
Description
The Speaker of the House, Frederick Muhlenberg, delivered the following address on the Whiskey Rebellion: calls it a "flagrant outrage" and expresses the "deepest regret at so painful an occurrence... as lovers of public order." In a more positive light, Muhlenberg and the House express gratitude in the failure of the rebellion, and the expression of support from most Americans for the United States government throughout the conflict. Finally, the House praises General Anthony Wayne for his "military operations against the hostile Indians," citing his "perseverance" and "prowess."
