544From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, [27 November 1794] (Hamilton Papers)
Seeing the Debates on the subject of Democratic Societies I called at your house to state some facts. It is true that the opposition to the Excise laws began from causes foreign to Democratic societies, but it is well ascertained by proof in the course of Judiciary investigations that the insurrection immediately is to be essentially attributed to one of those Societies sometimes called the...

Early next morning, a subpena was read to me, from judge Peters, commanding me before him, at his chamber, to give testimony, touching all such matters as should be enquired of me.

I attended the judge, and was referred by him to secretary...

554From Alexander Hamilton to Henry Miller, 17 November 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
It has already been settled that an Office of Inspection is to be opened in each of the counties of this Survey. It remains to settle what is to be done with regard to unpaid arrears. As it has so happened that Offices have not been regularly opened in some of the Counties which would involve legal difficulties in the collection of arrears, and as that collection if extended to the arrears for...

563From Alexander Hamilton to Henry Miller, 10 November 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
It appears to me adviseable that a seizure of the Stills of delinquent distillers should be made generally within the Township of Elizabeth in Alleghany County & within the Township lying immediately on the Monongalia River on the West Side thereof from to the Virginia Line. In order to this it will be necessary to employ not only the Collectors of the Revenue heretofore appointed to act...

566From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 8 November 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
Morgan with the whole of the light troops has crossed into Washington County. Dispositions of different corps are making to strike at once in the most disaffected scenes.
