All was tranquility till 1794, when the Whiskey Insurre(5'» 

 tion took place in the western part of Pennsylvania^ 

 many in this county began to fear that the stability of our' 

 government was not immovablcj but their apprehensions 

 were removed before the expiration of that year. From 

 that period down to the present, there is little of special 

 interest in the history of the county that is not common 

 to the adjacent and even more distant coimties of the 

 state, except that Lancaster city was the capital of the 

 state from December 1799, till 1812, when the seat of 

 government was removed to Harrisburg. The law for 

 locating the seat of government at the latter place, was 

 approved 21st February, ISIO ; and the offices were re- 

 moved from ] Lancaster 12th October, 1812. The com- 

 missioners for that purpose were Robert Harris, George- 

 Hoyer, George Ziegler. 



During the late war of 1812, '13, '14, no county in the 

 state was more ready to meet the exigencies of the times 

 than the militia and volunteers of Lancaster county. — 

 Companies were raised, and prepared to confront the 

 liaughty invaders of our country, and effectually to curb 

 the proud Britons in their headlong course against our 

 eommon countrv. 



Lancaster county, though of limited territory, has all 



having spiritually come to its end or consummation, through 

 evils of life and errors of doctrine, as foretold by the Lord in. 

 the Gospels: And that this New or Second Christian Church, 

 which will be the Crown of all Churches, and will stand for 

 ever, is what was representatively seen by John, when he 

 beheld the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from God out 

 of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 



The writings of Swedenborg, in German, English and 

 French, and other New Church publications, can be had at 

 their Book Depository, kept by F. J. KRAsirH, merchant tailor,
