= SWAPPING VOTES

We have it from cool authority that the Know
Nothings proposing to swap Hatton 10 gain votes
for Ethsridge. We hope that the Democrats and
old-line Wings are too wide awake to be caught in
that trap. They know Harris is certain 10 be elect
ed, therefore they lose nothing in this swap game.
Let every old-line Wing and Democrat stand square
up their entire ticket; we can elect all of them
Let every be at his post and do his duty, and
glorious triumph will be the result.
We want no Southern men with Northern sympa-
thies in Congress. We want no halfway sort of
members to represent us in the councils of the
nation. Let US have whole souled national Union
saving men, who will maintain our just and con-
stitutlonsl rghts.-Pdris Sentinel ra..
We cordially concur with the Sentinel. Honesty
is the best policy in every thing. Besides, to be
honest is to be democratic. Let US consent to no
tricks or trading 1t is iiberal and unfair to swap
off any Democrat. We are fighting for principle
Let US therefore vote none but clean ticket. We
have believed from the outset that the Know Nothing
candidate for Governor was nominated merely TO be
used in the Congressional and Legislative elections
and that wherever there is a chance to secure
Know Nothing member, there will be an effort to
swap him off by his party. Whether this be so or
not, we trust the Democracy will be upon their
guard and submit TO no trading.

THE PARTITION OF NICARAGUA.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times, states that
W. Carey Jones, Esq. who recently left Panama in
the United States sloop ofwar Decatur sent out
by the Administration, as secret agent to the Cen
trail American States to ascertain the views of their
Governments in reference to the division of Nicara-
qua, and the opening of the Ncaraguan interocean-
ic route. The policy contemplated by Costa RIGA
is the closing of the San Juan river altogether for
several years until the State becomes strong enough
not to fear llibuser ncursions, and then to
it only after strong garrisons have been posted
the river to check all flibuster movements. The
Government however, is justly suspicious that the
United States would not permit the Nicaragua route
to be closed. When we hear from Mr.. Jones we
shall probably learn precisely what is proposed to
be done with that route. Meantime, it is not prob
able that the Administration will make any move
ment in regard to that subject, although Vanderbilt
hasbeen very urgent in pressing action in his own

THE ELECTION.

We would urge our friends, in view Of theaezr ap-
preach of the election, to be stive and energetic
during the month that remainsfo Us to work Gosd-
eabyths desperatious of their position, our oppO-
nets win REMIT exertion To secure for themselves
every advantage, and carry every point whers there
is the least probability of success and where
defeat stares them in the face. There hostility to
oar cause is undying and they would struggle and
boast inths face q the most adverse signs Wit
their absurd predictions in the late Presidential
canvass. They then deceived their own friends BY
their fatal misrepresentation ppto the last hour,
their organs claimed q victory for Fillmore. New
York, they told u.s. was certain cast her vote for
Mr.. Fillnore.I Pennsylvania, they set down as
nearly certain after the October election, when it
was demonstrated that Fremont had no strength.
Even Mr.. Bell, in his speech in this city, at the
mass meeting went into an elaborate calculation to
prove that the Democracy had exhausted their
strength, In the latter State at the State election
and that Fillmore would carry the day in November
California, New Jersey and other Northern States
were set down as Fillmore States. Many honest
people were deceived by these false predictions,
and actually believed that the contest was between
Fillmore and Buchanan. The prophets themselves,
generally speaking, knew better. They were only
playing game, in which audaeity and recklessness
were the instruments Of their vocation The peo-
pie have now seen the utter unrelability of those
whose loud boasts they credited as truthful and the
danger to be apprehended now is that our friends
will not work as earnestly and constantly as they
would if they regarded the contest as more doubtful
lie: this noi.6e Let us all work Imanfully and eff
eientY from until the election, and let our first
and strongest effort be to urge every Democrat to
urn out tOfhe polls on election day and do his duty.
All that we have to fear is a scanty vote The only
chance of our opponents is based upon this hope
and upon swapping votes. No true Democrat win
swap off any portion of his ticket Such gambling
is contrary right, and its benefits always inure to
our opponents Let these things be pondered and
acted by, our friends during the brief time from
now until the election.--Ae7pkis AppsaI

B6r Several of the Know Nothing cadidatesn in
different portions of the State are denying that they
are connected with the order. Maynard, their can
ddate for Congress in the Knoxville district insists
that he was never in council nor took one of their
oaths Etheridge, we understand, is making the
same defence before the people. Stephens, their
candidate in the Memphis district, admits that he
Joined the order, but claims the merit of having
Withdrawn from it, and is, therefore, in no way
bound by its oatLs. Franck W. Lea, the Know No
thing candidate for the Legislature in Bradley coun
ty, is out in a card in which he says:
"During the time of the last Methodist Confer
ence in our county town, l was informed political
meeting was to be held above Craigmes' store
attended. On my arrival l was informed an oath
had TO be taken before you could be admitted as a
member. The Council was not there. left and as
was leaving was requested to return at night, if
l desired to join. did not 60 back, and 1 say
am not and never was Know Nothing, for I am
opposed and always have been, to all secret polit
cal organizations" s.. '...r
Thus it is-the thing is growing odious and in
few years man will venture to run for Office who
cannot show by inoontestible proof that, if ever a
member, he repudiated the order before it entirely
lost its identity. But how much of these denials
now being made can the people believe, when it is
that, according to one of their oaths,
they are SWorR to deny it?

her third Chancellor Dunkin decided in favor Of
the widow--as the Law Court had decided in the

"George Law speaks eloluently of Gen. Walker
He defes any to point an instance in history
where a man has accomplished so much with such
small means. The exploits of Cortez were nothing
to Walkers. Says he: Cortez met primitive PEG
pie who had no knowledge of firearms, and could
only oppose the match of Spaniards by the spear,
the bow and arrow. Walker with his fifty six men
had to fight against Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guate-
1nala, San Salvador Honduras, the British men Of
war, Vanderbilt, the Panama Railroad Company,
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and everybody
else .
