he protection of the Mayor of the town. They thus stood like the embattied farmer at Lexington — nay, more strongly, for these men were not Revolutionists, but peaceful citizens resisting illegal violence. Lovejoy was ruthlessly shot down by a shower of bullets from the street. Here was something that the average American could understand.
