petition was presented to the Gov
ernor in person by two OF the sigrers,
and, strange to say, the Governor Of the
State, just elected and sworn to support
the laws, refused to protect Them and
eoollyaassigned as asreason that it would
be easier to preserve the peace Of the
State BY permitting the mob to drive out
whoever they pleased, or to murder and
rob, them, than it would be to enforce
the laws and protect their lives and prop
erty. He,s however, graciouslys pledged
his protection until theten days expired,
but after that time, if found at their
homes or in the State, he should not in

Thus wholly failing to secure the pro-
lection of the law, finding the authori-
ties Of the State either in league withithe
mob, or powerless before it, and know
ing that themselves and families sweuld
be, murdered if they did not fly from
their homes, they left their business,
their property, and their native State,
and are now exiles in Ohio. b.
L Itis said that those thus exiled have
many friends still left, and that the out
rage is doing much to open the eyes Of
the better part of the citizens. IF CHS
tory is philosophy teaching by exam
lples," the slave power is certainly mad,

Ition., Can they hope to calm the SIRE
