MR. DIXON AND THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CIRCULAR..

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—In your last number you comment on what you state to be " a mistake into which I fell " when addressing a public meeting last Saturday week. But you seem to have overlooked the fact that the words you quote had solely reference to fugitives on board Her Majesty's ships on the high-seas.—I am, Sir, &c., The Dales, Edgbaston, Birmingham. GEORGE DIXON. [Then what was the use of the remark? There is no question about the high-seas.—En. Spectator.]
