Movements of the New Kitchen Kabinet.
The new Kitchen Kabinet, who appointed them
selves to office, by virtue Of inherent impudence,
as soon as il was known that General Harri-
soa was of the woods, at length full of bust
ness, lighting the Kitchen fres-piling up fuel for
the understanding the pans, tcasting and frying
the fat mutton-cutting up the delicious game, and
dividing the steaks of office in every way, from the
&C Chief Cook and Backyard General" down to the
neanest pot-scourer and scullion. In other words
the New York Courier and Enquirer, the CONNER
ciaI, the American, the Express, the Boston Atlas,
the Albany Evening Journal, and all the other or
gans Of the Kitchen, are discussing very grave
ly the propriety of appointing the Cabinet, the
other appointments to Office, of letting General
Harrison himself attend to that business.
To the great mass of the honest and Independent
people, by whose unbought efforts General Harri.
son has been elected, these movements are highly
interesting, and highly aug hable One set of these
Kitchen people, AT the head of whom is the Chief
Cook Webb, and the State Barber, Weed, are very
solicitsus to exclude Daniel Webster and Henry
Clay, from the new Cabinet, because they are can
didates for the succession. This is not the real,
though it is the avowed reason, for excluding these
two master-spirits. The new Kitchen want some
sssmall potatoes Of their appointed to the Cabi-
net. because they think that it is easier TO cook
small potatoes to suit their tastes, than men of
high spirit and intellectual bearing. Such men as
James Watson Webb and Thurlow Weed do not
want men Of intellect and independence in the Cab-
set-because they find that with such men taey have
no infiuence-no power.
On the other hand, there is another set of poli.i
Clans who circulate around great men, aud make
themselves useful to them as runners-oferrands,
fetchers-of news, and carrers-ef-orders. Around
