Albert Gallatin

CHAPTER IV
45/50

On November 17 general orders were issued for the return of the army, a detachment of twenty-five hundred men only remaining in the West, under command of General Morgan.

There were no further disturbances.

The army expenses gave a circulating medium, and the farmers, having now the means to pay their taxes, made no further complaints of the excise law.
The total expense of the insurrection to the government was $800,000.
Mr.Gallatin returned with his wife from his western home early in November.

He had been again chosen at the October elections to represent Fayette in the Pennsylvania Assembly.

Moreover, at the same time, he was elected to represent the congressional district of Washington and Allegheny in the House of Representatives of the United States.
