CABINET MATTERS.

There is evidently trouble in the cabinet,
and r1mour is busy with her ten thousand
tongues" Various causes are assigned as
the reason of Amos Kendall's resignation, yet
no one pretends to place any confidence in the
reasons given by the Post Master General
himself One thinks he is dissatisfied with
the conduct of the president towards the Vice
President, in defeating his nomination by the
Convention, as it is well known that the Vice
President is particular friend of Amos
Another thinks the president, being aware
OF the dangers Of his present situation, and
feeling the necessity Of the most vigorous ac-
ticn, needs the services of A mos in managing
the Globe, so as to keep The party together

lie is under no moral restraint, subject to no
shame but that of defeat, and bent upon re-
tanning power, he will WELD the ''grey quill'
with giant strength; and in this view of the
case, we wonder not that he takes the edi,o-
rial charge of the extra Globe, to exc out
scanty subsistence. Another thinks that tic
president has compelled Amos 10 resign 10 ap-
pcase the wrath Of certain Pennsylvania mail
contractors, who gave out 10 whispers in the
presidents hearing. that if he was retained in
the Post Office department, the electoral vote
Of Pennsylvania would be gisen for Harrison;
and this, with the president, would be an un-
answerable argument, for he would not suffer

which he thought would tend to the accom-

Again we call upon the Wings of Rutland
County, one and all, old and young, not to
forget the Sd day of June We call upon the
farmers, mechanics and laborers, who consti-
tute so large portion of the Wing strength
of this county, to keep in mind the day, and
SO to arrange their work that they may have
the whole Of the day to devote to the best in
terests of the country. Let such arrange
ments be made in each town that no man who
desires to attend the Convention shall be de-
tanned for the want of conveyance, be he
rich or poor, halt or lame. We know the self
styled Democrats, cry out, with a bitter cry,
that large conventions cost great deal of time
and money. No wonder! Yet spare not for
their crying. We know these democrats are
great economists, but we fear, after all, their
crying is mere hypocrisy, and they only cry
out shame! because they cannot drum into
their ranks that genuine enthusiasm which so
abundantly characteristics every Wing meeting
in every place.
We say, Let there be union, let there be
harmony, let there he activity, and our coun-
try shall again he free.

Harrison as any State in the Union. Where.
ever Mr. Riyes has been, victory or an ap-

meeting had already organized. / took my
seat near the door and waited very patiently
for nearly half an hour to hear some specchi.
wing, when began to think myself ia a qua
ker meeting or in some place where 1t was
not rulcable to speak. All at once, to my NJ
ter establishment the president rose and OBJ
served that he would thank some one to suc-
gcst the object Of the meeting. Silence was
broke, and language is too feeble to paint the
scene that followed Nominations for town
representative and a committee on resolutions
having been made and passed, the president
announced that the meeting was now open for
argument. The first gentleman up, went on
with long train of abuses and pet,icoat SLAM
ders 10 prove that the present Wig party
were the sane that opposed the election Of
JtQcrson and Madison. The only real argu.
mcnt that he brought to prove his assertions
was that C.. p. Van Ness and the Vermont
Statesman said it was so.
Next rose old Ethan, jr. (who did not get the
nomination for representative as he cxpec,cd)
who, after putting and blowing in favor Of the
sub-treasury bill (Which, should think from
his remarks he never saw for nearly half an
hour, without bringing one argument to prove
its efficacy, or showing one reason why it was
adopted, directed his remarks more particu-
larry to defame the spo,less character of Gen.
Harrison, Gov. Jenison, and certain repre-
scntaiiycs in the State, who offered a resolu.
ton for the support Of tho gospel last fall AZ
ter dclnca,ing host OF false charges and
quoting spurious articles, which he said might
be found in the constitution of Vermont, to
prove his charges, he delivered his speech on
"lnalienable Rights" which answers alike for
loco foco caucuses, aniitemperance and Abo-
liiion meetings. And to cap the climax lie
concluded his remarks in the following Ian
