The Atlanta Constitution is writing up short sketches of the members of the 
constitutional convention, soon to assemble in Atlanta. From it, we copy the 
following sketches of some of the delegates, from this election district:

Hon. NATHAN G. SWANSON

Hon. Nathan G. Swanson was born in Greene county in August 1821. His father 
was a well-to-do planter and the son has clung to the old plantation, being 
himself a most successful farmer. He seems to have had little or no 
political ambition for although personally very poopular, he has never held 
an office. His education is a very liberal one, being at LaGrange in this 
state and ending at Harvard. Although his ambition has never led him to 
strive for honors in the area of politics, he is a profound political 
student, deeply interested in all that pertains to the welfare of the 
country and his section, and his record in the Convention will be a good 
one. He was a Whig before the war but has since been an active and 
enthusiastic Democrat.
