PROTEST OF ALABAMA.

4 memorial signed by five hundred Union
lists OF Northern Alabama hns ere this arrived
at Washington. II sets forth that
Union men arc looked upon every
where in Alabama rs traitors to the
South; that at all elections loyal men arc
prescribed and rebels chosen that loyal men
will be subjected to crcry degree Of pcrsecu-
tion ifthe Federal troops be withdrawn that
Governor Patton has appointed mainly rebels
to Office, many Of them e1-o1licess In the
Confederate army ; that the State militia Is
wholly rebel, and will be employed to drive
out Union men and protect the whites in en-
elavins the blacks and that an extensive con-
spirncy exists 10 embroil our Government with
France, and then take sides With The latter.
The memorial is signed by gentlemen Of
character and responsibility, and doubtless
expresses the views Of nearly every loyal man

rcscnted'' nj the Sonth viii be listened TO by
some at Washington as complaccntly as the
artstocrncy OF England hear the cry CT the
English people for reform. But VIC believe
there arc some true men ut Washington who
will stand By Southern loyalty and Unionlsm.
