Where a Mans Treasure is, there Will

to cast their votes for person to repre-
sent them in the Legislature OF the state,
and it would be natural to suppose that
thew would desire the person elected to con.
snlt their interests, and use his exertions to
carry out their wishes. The democrats
and wings have each presented their can
ddates before the people for their suffrages,
and the question with the voters OF the
county should be, and doubtless will be,
which Of the two will, in the event OF an
election, be more likely to consult and pro-
mote the interests Of the people of the
county? The democratic candidate is an
old resident Of this county, living near Its
center. and whose interests are identified
with its welfare and prosperity. He is
we'll known to its inhabitants, and from
the fidelity with which he has discharged
every trust ever conided to his keeping,
no one can, for a moment, doubt. that if he
be elected the interests Of the county and
of her people, will be faithfully provided
| for.
On the other hand, the whig candidate
is young lawyer, living in remote cor
ner of the county-his dwelling house is
Just over the county line in this county,
and his law Office on the other side of the
county line in Summit county. For a
year past, he has been striving to procure
IL. Of ha hyyC Cht
ting off to the county of Summit, the town
ship in which he lives, by which he would
become an inhabitant Of Summit county
with his interests identified with hers, ano
having no interest whatever in the welfare
and prosperity Of this county. If MI
Grove should be elected, there can be nc
, question, but that he will use his utmost eX
$ ertions to procure the dismemberment ant
: ifthat object shall be attained, before the
adjournment Of the next General Assembly
f his connection with this county will have
been served, and then the people of Portag
county will be without q Representative
+ but should the dismemberment not be sc
cured. his location would make him a
D much the Representative Of Summit as o
= this county-he being but a semi-inhabi
tant Of Portage-and the fact that h
is so anxious to have the township in Whlcl
he resides set off to the county of Summit
shows that he is not identified with the in
tert SITS and welfare of the county ofPortage
Suppose that under these circumstances
Mr.. Grove being O member of the Legs
lature, TWO projects for Railroad shoul
: be before that body, one Of which woul
t subserve the interests ofthe people Of this
, and the other the interests of the people Q
Summit county, and there was no proba
bility of but one Of the measures succeed
ing, las would unquestonably be the cas-
in such an EVENT. where would the inhu
ence of Mr.. Grove be exerted and 70
which interest would his vote be given?-
Can any one doubt that he would sacrific
the interests Of the people by whose sui
rrages he was elected? Then, people c
Portage county, which Of the two men vii
you have as your Representative! the Oh
whose interests are identified with yours
or the one who shows, by his actions tina
: he has no desire to remain a citizen {
your county, and whose treasure is in al
: other county? WHERE A MANS TREAsUR
IS, THFEE WILL HIS HEART BE ALSO.
