WASHINGTON, Feb. %. lS49.

The Journey ana the Cabinet of Gen Tayior.
The President elect expected this evening;
but we since understand, that while Colonel Bliss
and lady, and the "gude wife, of old Rough aud
Ready, will come in the evening train, that the
General himself will be detained TIL tomorrow.
along the road good suite of rooms, tor the
old chief and his family, is provided tor them at
Willard's We asked, and were admitted to
inspect them this evening, that is, the bed room
and the paflor of the General himself, the others
beng properly held sacred from intrusion, and
which, from consideration of their sanctlty, we
had no desire to invade The whole suite, how
ever, are contiguous to each other, and on the
second floor, looking out of course, upon Pennsyl
vania avenue, the Generals parlor being on the
corner OF the avenue and 18th street The parlor
and chamber of old Zack are not as magnificent
as the superb suite which was gwen to President
Polk at The Revere House, on his visit 10 Boston
in lS4z, nor are they OF the amplitude OF the rooms
OF the White House; but when we remember that
"OId Zsck is man who dislike, di. play,
And is plain old fellow for every day"
We believe that he will be charmed with his ac-
commodations. The parlor is elegantly and chastely
the chamber Is nice little place, pro:
vlded with low camp bedstead in which the old
soldier will sleep delightfully."-. There Is an appro-
pirate neatness and simplicity IN the whole
arrange ment, which we think will please the
PLAIN old chap OF the people. The pier tables were
furnished, this evening. with a number OF large
vases OF roses, Japonlcas, and other greenhouse
flowers; and, with the soft temperature OF the par
lor, they awakened sensations OF spring and its
blOomipg gardens, while wintry snow storm
darkened the sky and whitened the scene without.
Sitting in his easy rocking chair, lined with
purple velvet, IN this coy paror, with Mr..
Clayton at his side, we can anticipate the scene
In all probability The hero from Buena Vista IN
Mexico and his able supporter from Buena Vista in
Delaware will be thors in council They will be there,
cabinet, with tho deliberation which characteristics
council in the field the Of important battle.
We have great faith in the sturdy debraeon Of old
Zack Until he received from the Vice President OIL
cial information Of his election, he made no official
tender, md T subsequently, to Mr. Clayton! He saw Mr.
Critic de in Kentucky; but from ail learn he
failed to persusde the Governor TO- take seat in the
cabinet All the nts Of the President elect have
been equally circumspect, and respectful Of creum
stances He appears to be sisnay impressed with his
ceed in Bis own way, with due regard to the opin-
ions Of his friends, though not controlled against
his own judgment The % inSdsn: n;a,; OF his joa,nsy
Of charactsr-even at times to some embarrassment
at the novelty Of his position, and at the enthu.
ssem with which he is received. 1t is spectacle we'll
cacua ed to awaken the enthusiasm Of the masses to
the Of the Seminoles OF Arista, OF Am

Ca passing to the seat Of government to assume its
ndmnstrston placed in his ba ands by the decision OF
twenty millions Of people II is due from the people to

pointed chief servant with delight and 1t Is natural
that the sures Of the brave soldier shoud add TO toe
xest Of bis ptions.
The accounts of his journey would indicate that IL
has been much more fatiguing than that over the
burning sands Of Mexico to Monterey but every body
believes that old Rough and Read" too tough to
be broken by the pressure Of an Inauguration a.
was the case with General Harrison They think toat
he has the and the stamina to stand and yet
we would DIN upon HE fri. nds to induce him to set
apart certain hours after his arrival in Washington,
