rule America" and that the Dutch aud Irish,
the Pope, Archbishop Hughes and the Jesuiss

ing OF the new George Law movement, We fad
among the most conspicuous OF the actors, one
of the active supporters Of Tyler's administra-
ton in this quarter. Those resolutions, which
90 completely anticipate the game of the 81
ward alliance, and take the wind out OF their
sails bear the endorsement of this ssgacious
champion OF Captain Tyler
In every aspect, therefore, we may regard
this Albany Convention as tue initiative OF
one OF the most important political movements
of these wonderful revolutionary times. 1,

programme Of the George Law Know Nothing

candidates OF the anti-Nebraske, anti Pierre

AL the camps of our Northern niger wol ;

now in motion. We understand that Thurlog
Weed, alarmed at this new "Live Oak deve-
lopement, and suspecting mischief to Seward
at the bottom of it, came down the other
day from Albany to the Astor House, where
he has since been engaged in earnest con
sultation with few choice spirits rpon the
subject, the main question being, Wa. are
we to do now?' We anticipate, between the
actors in behalf Of the New York aud Philadel

wrangling democracy, a prodigious struggle,
and an excitement during the next three weeks
which will be intensely interesting, waking up
with political action even the Quakere, Sha.

for himself, declines the crown, for the present,
