The colored men Of Alabama, in a re.
cent convention held at Montgomery,
have issued a memorial to Congress, in
which they state that 1.-THE colored race
have never enjoyed, except partially, i'm.
perfectly aud locally, either civil or po.
litical rights in that State" We give a
part Of this memorial, as follows;
The colored people have worked hard
every year since emancipation, and cites
the undlninished crops of all kinds since
1866 as proof of the statement, supple.
mentlng it with the statement ina. 80
other but colored labor could be had, 1t
then states that the negroes have educated
their children as far as was possible, and
that they have made rapid and consider
able advancement. 1t then reiterates the
terrible outrages and atrocious crimes
committed against the negro, and further.
more states that for the past four months
especially their lives and the lives OF
nearly all Republicans in this State have
had no protection except that given by
the United States which was very made.

marked bitterness, injustice and vipdic-
tiveness toword the colored race, which
adds to the negroes apprchensons for the

words With every department Of the
State government hostile to US, how may
we expect justice or even mercy 1t
then appeals to the government to right
their wlongs and diminish their mislor-
tunes by adequate legislation aud its en-.
forcemont. 1t states that the main qucs.
ton is whether the colored people Of
Alabama shall have to repeat The history
OF the exodus of the lsraeites from Egypt.
