In view of this condition of affairs, the State
capital was thronged by refugee Repuolicans,
and in the months oil January and February
last was earnestly urged by many loyal men:
including numerous members OF the General
Assembly, to call out the militia and declare
martial law over those counties where these
acts oflawless violence were being performed.
This refused 10 do, for reasons which then
thought, and still think, were judlcious and
proper. I had at my disposal but Compare
