government officers, with mob, went to Harris
burg to prevent the Legislatures from aching on
/ the subj set; and, by violence and menacc oil
b!ooished, they expelled the legislature from the
seats, and sctup Il spurious legislature.
The Governor might have been imprndent III
calling out the militia. The members of thc
Legislature might have acted improperly In leav
my their seats under the threat Of popular VIC
lence. HIS own opinion was that they ought tc
have kept their seats. He would promise that
next year, when the mob came here to drag hin
from his seat, he would not leave it with life
