John A. Dix and the Richmond
Ennuirer.

The Richmond (Ea.) Enquirer having. on
a recent occasion. protested against the as
sumption Of the Charleston Mercury that the
appointment Of Mr. Dix to the French mission
would be satisfactory to the Democracy Of the
South, and given its reasons for so protesting.
Mr.. Dix has written the following letter TO
the Enquirer -
NEW YoRK. Sept 90, 1853
To the Editors of tte Enquirer
GENTLEMEN In an editorial article in
your paper Of the 18th inst, en- charged
first, with making furious abolition speech
es in the Senate of the United States" and
second, with the rhetorical flourish Of a
" gordon Of free States surrounding the South
and compelling slavery like a scorpion encir-
cled by fire, to sting itself to death"
These imputations are alike untoundcd. l
never made an abolition speech in the Senate
or out Of it Il never uttered nor entertained
the sentiments above attributed to me-and |
call on you to produce the evidence on which
your assertions were made.
Your own sense Of propricty will ensure
the insertion Of this note in yeur paper, with
out a request to that effect from me.
