Grant County Representatives.

they are tried" is an old provcrb, and none the
less true because of its antiquity. We vener-
ate old sayings, because like liquor and tobac-
CO, the older they get the better. The five
AssemblYmen, including the Senator for Grant,
making six in all, have been tried-some Of
them more than once, and some only for sim
gle session. Senator SEAToN was elected up
on the resignation of Mr.. SQUIREs, and only
served during the Special Session--about a
month; and even though We were disposed to
find fault with one or two Of his votes at Ma
olson still We should not say word, for a
months service is too short time fer deciding
Tor or against any servant.
We shall speak Of the Grant County Dele
cation as body, and Of their acts in a gener-
aIiZed sense, lor if we went on to particular
ize, our article would probably end in mix
ture OF hattery and Condemnation. We don't
believe in soft soldering public men, nor in
keeping up an eternal Jault.fading. They fire.
quently get into diemmas that people know not
Of, and then they have TO get out the best way
they can; it sometimes happens, too, that they
get bewidered, because they can't see far e.
nough ahead TO tell what their acts will result
in Then they are in a decided fix, and deserve
tbe sovereign sympathy. Neither do we be-
heYe that bockhead representatives are to
blame 50 much as the people for elecling them,
for who is it that don't believe in his very soul
that he is the veriest choice in the country for
legis ator, and that if he is not ele, ted, the
country will be ruined? We know several
men this moment who attribute al the errors
Of Wisconsin legislation for the last five years
10 the fact of their failure to get elected. Some
people think that the more anxious man is to
to be candidate, the fewer are his qualiica-
tons; but men differ as to the soundness of this
proposition, and we are not wise enough to
decide upon it certain it is that vanity is rl-
ling passion with some men, and that under It's
influence, they are as apt to imagine themselves
statesmen as fools.
Ii has become a standing belief in all parts
Of the State that Grant County is always ably
represented. The time was, however, when
the moral character Of some OF the Grant del
egation would not bear Investigation; perhaps
