at Franklin, Here they received notice
from Col, Cook that he had large body
Of L. 3, troops, and should defend Law
renee at all hazards On the 18th Gov.
Gearv arrived at Franklin, and had a
consultation with the officers of the invading
army. lie told them that he was prepared
to enforce the Laws, arrest offenders, to
crush insurrection and suppress disorders,
with the aid ofthe troops placed under his
commend, and that the interposition Of the
Nissorrans under Gen. HeiskelI was 10
longer necessary. As an evidence Of his
ability to enforce the laws, he told them
that he had iu-t arrested 90 or 100 outlaws,
who would be properly tried by the legal
authorities. In view Of these facts, the
Governor urged the MissourianS to disband
and abardon their projected attempt or
Lawrence.

maraudcrs and robbcrs---and recommending
that Col Titus be made commander Of the

then broke up camp and returned home,
except those who intended to settle in the
Territory.
