NEW WORKS AT FRANCK TAYLOR'S.

NEW WORKS AT FRANCk TAYLOR'S.
LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON, private, military,
and civil, with illustrations, by Amos Kendall.
To be completed in fifteen numbers The first
number of this admirable work has been issued,
and may be had of F. Taylor, in this city,
for 25 cents. Ii contains excellent portrait
of the old hero. The work itself, considering
the ability of the writer, his official and social
intercourse with The General, is doubtless the
best history of that remarkable man ever vet
written, or ever TO be written. A month or So
ago We saw an intimalion in the Globe that
another author had written The only correct his
tory of some of the prominent events in Gen
Jackson's life, and we thought il was designed
insinualion that Mr.. Keudal's production
was defectire-but the work itself will defy de-
traction.

INDIAN SUMMER.-Thls season, which has often
been referred to by writer's in prose and poetry, is
denomnated the Indian Summer, and was thus de-
scrihed by the late Rev. Dr. Freeman, in of his
occasional sermons:
The Southwest is the peasantest wind which
blows in New England. In the month Of October
in particular, after the frost-which commonly
takes place at the end Of September-it frequently
produces three weeks of fair weather, in which
the air is perfectly transparent and The clouds which
float in sky Of the purest azure, are adorned with
brilliant colors IT, at this season, of afec
tomato heart and ardent Imagination should visit the
tombs Of his friends the southwestern breezes they
breathe through the glowing trees, would seem TO him
almost articulale Though he might not be so raPt in
enthusiasm TO fancy that the spirits Of his ancestors
werewbisperng in his yet would at least imagine
that be heard the still small voice of God This charm
ing season is called the Indian Summer-a name which
is derived from the natives, who believe that IL is
caused by wind which comes Immediately from the
court of their great benevolent god, Cantoww, or
the Southwestern God-the god Who is superior TO
all other beings who sends them every blessing which
they enjoy and to whom the souls Of their fathers go
after their disease"

THE WING VICE PRESIDENCY.

The proposition lately made to run Mr.. Webster
the whig ticket for the Vice Presidency, seems 10
have given the Clay wings vast deal of annoyance.
Mr.. w is can ugly customer"-this is manifest, and
they want TO get rid of him. He is rather too strong
with the wings in the Northern and New Eogland
States to be put down by abuse so even now the
wIre-pulers are attempting new game. They
would put him out of the way by dsttery.
The Y. Tribune Of Monday contains two Of the
sfectionate reasons why Mr.. w. should not run
for the Vice Presidency. LIST. Mr. Webster is a man
Of 'too transcendant talents" for such station
the Vice Presidency. This may be; but such men
Thomas Jefferson, Gcrge Clinton, Daniel ID. Temp
kins, John c. Calhoun and Martin Van Buren,, have
held that post, and cannot conceive how il would
degrade Daniel Webster to be their successor ID
His selection would injure Mr.. Webster's present
fair fame" as it would imply coalition and bar
gain with Mr.. Clay on the part of MIR. w. and his
friends for the sake of this office.
II is astonishing what scnstveness these Clay wings
begin to feel for Mr.. WIS reputation. While he held
seat President Tyler's Cabinet he assaied by
the favorte organs OF Mr. Clay with ferocity more
bitter than he by his Democratic opponents
The editor of the Tribune must have forgotten tina,
Mr. Webster must be fully aware Of the real nature
Of apparent kindness from that quarter.
