There appears to be a very diminutive, bit of a
squabble going on between tho whigs of I. a Salle
and tho whig of Cook, in relation to their con
gressional district convention, the drift of which
we are unable entirely to ''get the hang of." On
I8ih of Match las', it will be leniembered, the
whigs of l.a Hallo held a county meeting at this
place, when, "inasmuch as there existed no organ
ized body of whigs within this district whose pe
culiar duty it was to call a congressional conven
tion," they took it upon theniselvc to recommend
that a convention to nominator candidate for con
gress be h'dd on tho 2jt!i of May, and ''lluit ihe
number of delegates from each county be equal t,
double is representation in the general assembly j"
and during court week they held anuther meeting
and appointed six delegates in accordance wilh
thij arrangement. At least a week after all
this had taken place, tho whigs of Cook, nppa
parently without taking any notice whatever of
tho previous doings of tho La S?a!lo whigs, is
suo their decree, ordering the convention to be
held on the slxtU of J ine and suggesting an en
tirely dillercrit ratio of representation from that
suggested by the whigs of La Salle. But the I.a
Salle w higs.it seems, are determined not to "knuc
kle under" to tho whigs of Cook, ami have issued
their decree, persisting iu calling tho convention
ill accordance with their prcvios recommendation
Now this looks queer. Have the Cook whig
"given in, or is this regular collision 1 If the
bitter is the ease, wo say hurrah for the whig of
La ulle! They were the first to fix tho time
and mode of holding tho convention, and it was
exceedingly bail breeding in tho Cook whigs to
alter cither without their consent.
