In 1790, tba oenaUtutlon having been
adopted, tba question el wbe should ba tha
next governor began le ba agltsted Twe can
dldates were put forward, Thomaa Mifflin
and Authur Ht Clair. Tha lermer triumphed
by a vary Urge majority, aad ha waa almost
unanimously elected the fl rat governor under
tba constitution of 1700, taking hla aest De
cember 21ater that year. Twice afterward ha
waa re-eleeted, In 1793 snd 1798, which terms,
together with tba two years be bad served aa
president of tbe supreme executive council,
fro-n November 6th, 1788 te December 30th,
17m, an segregate of eleven yeara, gave te
blm a distinction which he enjoyed
above all ethers, either before or slnee, aa
abler executive el tbe commonwealth or
Pennsylvania. Twe Important events tmaa-
ptrlng dnrlng hla terms of office demand
special attention, Inasmuch aa they disturbed
the public mind te as unusual degree. Tba
first waa tba Intemperate conduct of the
French minister, Genet; and In tbe heatel
discussions which were tha result, Gov.
Mifflin maintained a reserved and dignified
position In tbe support or tbe etate In Its
Juat relations with the national government
The second waa the resistance whlnh
ettered by some or the western euuntlea of
tba atata le tba collection or tbe excise
tax, whleh disturbance waa commonly
known aa tbe "Whisky Insurrec
tion." This resistance waa entirely tee
formidable for control tiv the nlsii
authorities and the lew soldiers from Fert
Pitt Waablnaten. Who was then nrnatrfenl.
called out the mllltla or four states, Peensy 1
vsnla, New Jersey, Maryland snd Virginia,
twenty thousand la alt Gov. Minim marched
at tha bead of his quota te Bedford, Pa, and
there mat tha troops from tha ether atataa,
where a concentration of tba foreea was
efTectcd, sad Gov. Lea, of Virginia, Light
Herse Harry," became eblel In command. It
la acaresly necessary te asy that tba approach
el ae formidable aa army caused tba Inaer
gents te Isy down their arma and aua for par
don. The constitution et 1790 limited the bold
lng el the office or governor te three tarda
of three years each. General Mifflin signi
fied bla desire of retiring te private Ufa
when hie maximum period or time 'aa
governor would expire, but before that time
bad elapsed the people bad elected btm a
member or assembly from Philadelphia for
tbeyearlaoe. During a session or the Heuse
or Representatives, then sitting at Lancaster,
Pa., en January 19, 1800, Dr. Legan Informed
tbe Heuse that bla colleague, the late patriotic
Gen. Thomaa Mifllle, had expired at Ufteea
mlnutta past three o'clock a. in., and re
quested tbe Heuse te make an arrangement
which would abew te their fellow citizens
that they were sensible of tbe common less
which the state baa auatalned by the death
or thla great snd geed man. A committee
waa appointed te make srrangementa ler
the funeral, which took place en January
2, 1900, tba Interment being made ln
the little yard, but a few feet wide, between
the pavement and tbe front wall of Trinity
Lutheran church In Lancaster, where yet re
poses all that waa earthly el Thomaa Mifflin.
Resolutions wsra passed by tba Heuse, in
structing tbe governor or the etate, Thomaa
MeKean, te eanss te be erected a eultable
siae or monument te the memory el tbe de
ceased patriot : and by bla direction a marble
slab, 21x30 Inches, wss fixed ln the wall et
the cbureb, directly opposite tbe place of in
terment Tbe destructive band or time haa
almeat obliterated tha Inscription , wbleb can
not new be read from tbe pavement, but
wbleh was ss fellows :
" In perpetuation of tbe memory of Thomaa
Mlillln, major-general of tbe Revolutionary
army or the United States, and late governor
or tbe state el Pennsylvania. A distinguished
Satrtetand xsaleua friend of liberty. Died
anuary 19, 1800."
A BBAUT1POI. TRIBDTR.
Tbe following beautiful extract from the
Lancaster Intbllieknckb and Weekly Ad
vtrtlstr el January !22d, 1800, reflects with
credit tbe sentiments et tbe people of Penn
sylvania and his co-laborers ln general aa
aembly met
"General Mifflin I Venerable Shade, per
mit us te spproaeb tbee In tba present atata
of existence I Much wa reverence and much
we respect thee 1 for much hast thou dena
te deserve highly el thy oeunlry. We witness
la thee, during a time prier te our Revolu
tionary war, a mind capable or developing
tba aubjeeta whleh a mercenary monarch had
In view. Wa saw thee wltb tbe quickness el
lightning kindling the flame or patriotism In

New Yerk and el Bosten. Wa saw tbe
bands wbleh recruited our broken army in
1770 and gave the enemy the check, at Tren Tren

domestic circles, Illuminated by toy language
or lira. We aaw thee In 1777 and 1778 sus

devoted te starvation. We aaw thee uniformly

through these timee wbleh tried men'a souls.

Though no little mound marks the location
or the apet where the body et Tbemaa Mifflin
was consigned te lumethsr earth, the con-
( rogation or Trinity Lutheran church has
ept the anas green ever the apet for nearly
a century and new I ask a representative
body el tbe great atata wblch waa tbe scene or
bla usefulness and labors, te contribute out et

Mr. Davis aays that the bill will un un

all along the line, and the crowd ln Centre
Square was ae large that there was only
sufficient room for the precession te pass be
tween tbe solid banka of people. Tha
