The Third District,

Our attention has been called to the
following paragraph in the Nashville
B0HRer of the lith:
at is reported that Col. BLIZZARD has
come ont as an independent candidate
IN the Third Congressional District
Judge Key has commenced Il canvass of
the District
Now, Col. B. has not only not "comc
out as an independent candidatc,' but
we undertake to say, without any con-
sutation with him on the subject, that
he never had the rcmotcst intention of
doing any thing so foolish and scnsclcss.
The BdHaer has been imposed upon,
and will, no doubt, cheerfully make the
proper correction.
