RE-oaGANlzArIoN OF THE KITCHEN CABINET
The new Kitchen Cabinet, under the dynasty OF
Mr. Polk, is now complete. The President select
ed, a loGg time since, regular Cabinet, from the
great men OF the nation; but he rejected the re-
mains of the old Kitchen Cabinet, consisting of
Blair and Rives, and appointed two chefs du cuisine,
Richie and Helss, In their place. But the filling
up OF this new Kitchen Cabinet so important an
item in every government, both ancient and mo-
dern, was left 10 US. We have furnished three or
four excellent reporters from this office, TO the
Union office at Washington, by which act the new
Kitchen Cabinet is now complete. OF course there
can be no doubt now that the printing Of Congress
will be given to Richie and Helss. The members
of both houses can have no objections, and can
furnish no excuse.
Heretofore, the government organ has been
great annoyance to Mr.. Polk and many sensible
and It's continual recurrence to the dogmas OF past
ages and the musty resolutions OF 80 Nothing
could be expected from the venerable Mr.. Rltche,
who had passed near seventy years IN narrow CIR
Gle in Virginia, unpiacticed IN the world-knowlng
nothing OF It's protundy, Its depths, or It's holows,
and whose vision never extended beyond the mar
row boundaries of his native State. But all this
has now passed away. The organ will be one OF
the most brilliant organs Of the government ever
seen or read. The three or tour reporters which
we have furnished that establishment from this Of
flee, are some OF the best in the country-yet we
have as good behind They have taken their de-
grees in the Herald establishment, and are capable
of going through the world under any circumstan-
ces We have, indeed, still left, twelve or fifteen
many of whom equally good but still, it was
with great pleasure that we enabled TO fill up
the Kitchen Cabinet. In fact, this is only an evil
dence of our system for during the last few years,
there is scarcely newspaper in this country that
has not had reporters who have taken their degrees
IN this office.
We have doubt that Mr. Polk will be very
grateful for taking off his shoulders the trouble
of filling up the Kitchen Cabinet, and are happy
to find that Rtchie and Heiss appreciate our efforts
reporters all those who have taken their degrees in
the Herald Office and have received their diplomas
from this establishment regularly, are gentlemen and
scholars, and men OF intelligence Now, looking at
the piece of brutality perpetrated by Heiss, with
cow-hlde, towards Grey, reporter, we have some
doubts that Richie and Heiss may not understand
the position they occupy towards men OF education
and reporters. We never cowhde letter writer
here or reporters We treat them as equals, and as
men who are 10 instruct the world, after we leave
this vale. We therefore request Richie and Heiss
to treat them WELL for they will give elevation and
dignity to the Union, which all the twaddle of Rit
chic and Heiss could not effect.
COMMERCIAL Position OF THE UNITED STATES
Within the past two years there has been complete
revolution in our foreign export trade. Weare now
exporting articles of food in immense quantities. to
Great Britain; and the foreign demand for our staples
is increasing so rapidly, that we can hardly supply
It, Our packet ships crowded full of flour, grain,
beet, pork, cheese, &c. Cotton, present, appears
to be secondary article for shipment, and is taken
principally by transient vessels. Two-thirds of the
aggregate value of our exports, former years, have
been IN the great Southern staple; the planters OF the
South have been almost exclusively benefited by the
increase in our export trade, as it was confined to
the productions of their section of the country CIR
exports are now drawn from every section OF the
Union: the wheat and corn OF the West, the pro-
ductions of our Northern dairies are as impor-
tant TO the people of Great Britain at this time,
as the great staple, cotton, has been heretofore.
The United States are destined TO occupy a
position among the commercial nations of the
world second to none. We have furnished the
raw material to clothe the people of every coun-
try, and we are rapidly becoming the granary
Of the world, and the principal source OF sup
ply for food to feed the most powerful and wealthy
nation in existence. Efforts have been made to
cultivate cotton in the East Indies, but they have
failed and the manufacturers of Great Britain are
compelled to consume that grown in this country by
slave labor. Our breadstuffs are becoming necessa-
ry the existence fthe operatives OF that kingdom
and they will be compelled to admit them upon the
most favorable footing. Considering the immense
extent OF soil within our limits, agricultural pro-
ductions are very few, which can be attributed
almost entirely to the want OF markets. The popu-
atlon of the States is 80 limited that our surplus pro-
ducts are annually large; but with external demand
as large as the opening of the ports Of Great Britain
would give us, the growth OF the principal grains
would be immense. The western States alone
would supply any deficiency in the harvests of Europe
and nothing would enrich those States SO much OF
rapidly active demand for all the breadstuTs
they could produce. Our principal staple produc-
tions necessary to the nations of Europe that
they must have them. Theymust be fed and clothed
and in few years we shall have to supply them with
the raw material for these purposes more extensive
ly than we ever yet have, and our position as a pro-
duclng and exporting country, Is therefore every
year becoming vastly important.
