Some days since We adyened 10 the fact that Mr..
Swarswout was one OF the principals Ia the movement
that made Judge White candidate foI the Presidency

fact The ohics holder, Swsrtwoui, il seems was
using the opportunity Of his station furnish facilities
to the principal edor in Nashville devoted TO Messrs
Bell aud White, who came on 70 Washington and was
deeply engaged ia those inlfgues which led 70 the

two States that section, nom the cause they had pre-
yiously sustained. Globe Of Wsdassday.

We presume this must have been the case, since

be charged that Blair was sharel in Swarwouts de-
