All was tranquility till 1794, when the Whiskey insxtrrec- 

 tion took place in the western part of Pennsylvania; 

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

 government was not immovable, 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 counties 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. Tlie law for 

 locating the seat of government at the latter place, was 

 approved 21st February, IS 10 ; and the offices were re- 

 moved from J^ancaster 12th October, 1812. The com- 

 missioners for that purpose were Robert Harris, George 

 Hoyer, George Ziegler. 



During the late war of 1612, '13, '14, no county in the 

 state was more ready to meet the exigencies of the times 

 than the mihtia and volunteers of Lancaster county. — 

 Companies were raised, and prepared to confront the 

 haughty invaders of our countiy^, and effectually to curb 

 the proud Britons in their headlong course against our 

 common country. 



Lancaster county, though of limited territory, has all 



having spiritually come to its end or consuinmation, 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, dcscendiugfrom God out 

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

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