THE WEEKLY ECHO.

SATURDAY, So; FEB, Q, 1868.
THE ALABAMA APPEAL AGAINST
NEaRo DOMINATION In the Senate
to-day, Mr.. Doolttle presented a
petition, signed by several thou
sand citizens of Alabama, protest.
ing against being placed under the
rule of negroes and against the
enforcement Of the reconstruction
acts. The petitioners say
Continue over the United
States, if you win do so, your own
rule by the sword, send down
among us honorable and upright
men Of our own people, of the race
to which you and we belong, and
ungracious, contrary to wise policy
and the institutions of the country,
and tyrannOus as it will be, no
hand will be raised among us to
resist by force their authority ; but
do not, we implore you, abdicate
your own rule over us by transfer
ring us to the blighting, brutalizing
and unnatural dominion of an
alien and inferior race-a race
which has never shown sufficient
administrative capacity for the
good government of even the tribes
in which it has always been broken
up in its native seats, and which,
in all ages, has itself furnished
slaves for all the other races of the
earth. -
