Z. Thomas, United States Mar.
shal for the Northern district of
Alabama, We are constrained, to
believe that they were made solely
for political purposes and to in
Ijure this community abroad. We
live in various parts of the county,
and this statement contains The
individual knowledge of each Of
US. We know that no distur-
Dances of the kind mentioned by
Mr.. Thomas, could have trans,
pired without that fact being
known to some one OF us.T We
state that no such disturbances
are within our knowledge, and
we are sure that none such have
occurred. We know that Repub.
lican meetings, both night aud
day, have been held all oyerathis
county during the pending politi.
cal canvass, and no disturbances
nor attempt at disturbances have
occurred at any one, of them.
We are property holders, and feel
deeply interested in the welfare
of the county. Some Of US take
active interest in politics, and we
feel as safe in doing 50, both in
our person and property. as il we
lived Massachusetts or New York.
We have no objection to the pres=
ence of Federal troops in our
midst-they ara general ly well.
behaved and orderly, and always
bring money into the cnunty-but
the impression sought to be con.
veyed by Mr.. Thomas, that their
presence is necessary, to protect
Republicans from insult or dan
ger, in the expression of their o.
piuicns or the exercise of their
privileges, is libel upon the com.
munity, and Mr.. rh, mas should
either be required to support them
by proof, or he should be removed
from office as unworthy Of trust, ]
