April 10, 1861, Tri-Weekly Alamo Express (San Antonio)
We learn that an attempt was made to get Capt. Tobin’s company of rangers, (now encamped at the head of the San Pedro Springs) to enterfere and break up the meeting on Tuesday night, but that the proposition was not countenanced by the company. Happening to be personally acquainted with some members of this company, and taking them as a criterion for the ballance, we believe that it is composed of gentlemen, who would be above all such dirty work, however much they might differ with the objects of the meeting, and would not interfere with a freeman’s privilage, even at the instigation of the court-house clique.
