GRAND NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE AxE-

GRAND NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE AxE-
RIcAN PROTESTANT AssocAToN.-For several
dayspsst tbe American Protestant Assoc iation-
a secret society, Of q politico religious type
have been holding, with closed-doors, o national
convention in this city. But notwithstanding
the fact that all reporters are excluded, we have
managed to give, for the information Of our
readers, pretty accurate report of the pro-
ceedings Of this my sterious gathering, from day
to day, much to the surprise and indignation of
some of the members of the society.
In this connection, Mr.. HILL of Philadelphia,
fairly let's the cat out Of the bag. He says that
Archbishop Hughes carries the HERALD in his
breeches pocket. This shows that both the
Archbishop and the HERALD are very closely
watched; for we had supposed that he carried
the HERALD in his hat, folded together with the
Freeman's Journal But, worse than all, it
appears that the enterprising Archbishop has
"bought up James Gordon Bennett lately"
which accounts for the milk in the cocoanut.
or, rather, for the HERALD being found in the
breeches pocket Of the Archbishop, which is
pretty much the same thing. Had not Senator
Brooks better look into this business? Let him
examine the real estate schedule Of the Arch
bishop; for if he has bought up the HERALD,
rely upon,it that he has had to sell considerar
BILE list of his corner stores, town lots, and
other church property.
To return to this American Protestant Asso-
citation: 1t is very mysterious, very
curious, ard very interesting secret religious
combination, with strong political bias to the
Seward coalition. 1t will be seen from their
proceedings yesterday, as given elsewhere in
this paper that although many of our leading
Know Nothings are among its members, the
society is not league Of Protestant natives,
but that foreign born Protestants, even such as
are not citizens, are admitted to full member
ship. It is purely league against the Pope,
his hierarchy ard his church, and seems to be
composed, to considerable extent, ofveritable
OraDgemep. The connection with this society
of some of our leading Know Nothings, would
lead to the conclusion that the native is not 80
strong with them as the anti Catholic test. We
presume, however, that the manifestations of
this Protestant Association in favor Of an active
cooperation With the Seward coalition, will ad-
monish such men as Mr.. James w. Barker Of
their true policy. The course which this So
ciety is pursuing is but one of the many de-
vices of the Seward wire pullers to create dis
sensions in the Know Nothing camp, and to
break up their organization in this State
Read their proceedings.

So, when there is rise in the political waters.
in the organization Of some new and promising
party, all the statesmen and politicians left
high and dry by the receding waves OF the old
parties as they run out, and all the outsiders
ambitious Of the spoils, are absorbed into the
movement. We see this fact strikingly Illus
trated in the extraordinary Know Nothing
movement in every quarter OF the Union but
its effects in California, in the resusctation of
emigrant politicians supposed to be defuuct is
most remarkable. Look az the list of these
great guns at late grand mass meeting of the
American party at Sacramento City.
Gen. II. S. Foote was there, veritable
Know Nothing, late democratic Senator from,
and still later democratic Union Governor of
Mississippi. Hon. E. G. Marshall was there
late democratic radical member Of Congress;
and Hon. Bailie Pey ton, late whig ambassador
to Chill; and host Of others, great and
small, heretofore known as wings aud
democrats. Such coalitions signify the work.
ing of great revolution of some sort, and they
Indicate, too, the drift Of the popular current.
Gen. Cass and Gen. Foote worked together,
shoulder to shoulder, for the compromise mea.
sures of 1850. Perhaps they may be found
again side by side in some great Union move
ment in 1856, which will place the new Ameri.
can organization on the ground lately occupied
by the democratic party. The remains Of the
old parties and the materials of the new are
still in state Of effervescence, and II will re-
quire yet six or eight months Of active engi-
poerinr "a bring them into ehana
Meantime, il is highly gratifying to see, from
day TO day, whole companies Of old party cam.
paigners, supposed to be laid upon the shelf,
enrolled for active service for another cam
paign, in a new party, upon new platform,
and ia full view of the public plumber of seven
ty.dve millions year. We must have a
