For the Richmond Dispatch I

Rf, DeS. ~, ISOU.
To the Editor Of ths Richmond Dispatch:
DEAR SIR Il have noticed in your Issue Of
this morning. that l am reported by your
Especial Correspondent At Washington" with
having said, at the public meeting held in this
place on Monday last, "that any Southern
Senator or member of Congress, who deserted
his post at this time, ought 10 be shot as soon
as he crosses the Potomac" This report is
incorrect. What l did say was as follows, and
ia this connection:
In the course of my remarks at the meeting
referred to- the recent manifesto, signed and
published by Southern Senators and mem hers,
was alluded 10, anc l expressed my gratihca-
ton at not finding the name of d single mem
Der from Virginia among the signatures, and
then said, ''that should our Senators and men,
bers yacate their seats of nor and their DOS ts
of trust, in this .rying hour, and retreat to
Virginia, at the mere approach OF q Black Re-
pu biican President, they should be shot as
they landed on the banks of the Potomac"
will not trouble you or the public with the
reasons that prompted this sentiment; it is
enough for me To know that what l expect at
the hands OF eur Represen tatives, can be easily
in ferred from the expression, and that those
to whom it was addressed most cordially ap-
proved it,
| would not ask an insertion of this card,
but 10 disarIn ali right or inclination on my
part, TO CriticIse or sit III judgment upon the
action of public men beyond the limits OF Nir-
GINA, to which the uncOrrected letLer OF your
Especial Correspondent" would seem to make
me arrogate TO myself. Respectfully yours,
ELLIOTT NJ. BRAXToN.

The Auuexa,,or psr,x

Whilst the English press are threatening the
South In advance with all the terrors OF a Eu-
ropean crusade, If they undertake to carry
out the American notions of "manifeat des-
tiny"-wheh none of them have intimated In
any way as any part of their intentions-'he
very first pronunciamento of annexation has
come from the Black Republican leader, Sem
ator WADE who, In his speech just made
which is the first declaration on the floors of
Cong ress. at this session, of Black Republican
policy under LINcoLN's administration, and
every where hailed by that party as the reflec-
ton Of their own sentiments, boldly takes
ground for the ANNEXATION OF CAN-
ADA. This is a part of the Republican pro-
gramme, as announced by Wan. ii. SEWARD in
his late campaign speeches in the Northwest
How do you like that, Mr.. BULL We wish
you JOY of your new allies.
