John Penn, son and presumptive heir of Eichard Penn, -one of the joint proprietors, had lately arrived in Pennsyl- vania, to take Hamilton's place as governor. Politics still 166 Historical and ran very high ; but, in this emergency, the aid and advice of Franklin, the head of the opposition, and speaker of the Assembly, were eagerly sought. Owing to the royal veto on the late act for a volunteer militia, and the repeated re- fusals, of the Assembly to establish a compulsive one, there was no o...rganized military force in the province, except a few regular troops in the barracks at Philadelphia. By Frank- lin's aid, a strong body of volunteers, for the defense of the city, was speedily enrolled. When the insurgents approached, Franklin went out to meet them ; and, after a long negocia- tion, and agreeing to allow them to appoint two delegates to lay their grievances before the Assembly, they were persuaded to disperse without further bloodshed. So ended this most disgraceful affair. , There was no power in the province ade- quate to punish these outrages.
