fist, whose fame is world wide. Like many
other great men, Sheridan did not win Ruch
distinction as scholar He was careless and
without application, just industrious enough
to protect himself from disgrace. His teachers
knew. by his occasional efforts, that he pos
sessed latent powers, but there was no method
or routine about him His wit and good ma
ture made him iavorite with all both schol-
airs and schoolmasters.
The WORKS OF JOSEPH ADDISON, including the
whole contents Of Bishop Hurds edition, with Let
tiers and other pieces not found in any previous col
lection and Macaulay's Essay on his Life and
Works. Edited with critical and explanatory Notes
BY George W. Greene. In five volumes New
York; &. p. Putnam & Co. For sale by Franck
Taylor. Pa. avenue, Washington, d. c.
The title-page, which we give at length, de-
scribes the characteristic features of this beau
tful edition of Addison The five volumes, of
which the first has. been published, will con-
tain all of the writings Of this eminent author,
inclusive of his contributions to the Tattler,n
Z" Guardian" and Spectator" The American
publisher announces that the other parts of
these celebrated works-namely, the papers of
Steele, Swift, Pope, and Tickell &c.-will be
given separately, in two additional volumes,
uniform with this edition of Addison, thus
forming complete edition Of the most remark
able essays in the English language" The
form selected for the publication is very conve-
nient, and the typographical execution of the
work is perfectly agreeable to the eye. -
We are much pleased at the republication of
these English classics in such form as to
make them accessible to the masses Of Ameri-
can readers. Their careful study would serve
to correct the vices of exaggeratiOn, false meta
phor, and bombast, characteristic of 80 many
writers in these days.
MEMOIR OF THE LIFE AND CHARAcTKR OF THE RI.
Hon EDMUND BURKE. With specimens OF his
Poetry and Letters. By James Prior, Esq. Vols.
2. Boston TicknOr Reed, & Fields. For sale as
above
Mr.. Prior writes with profound admiration
of the subject of his SKETCH whom he regards,
as did many of his contemporaries, as an oracle.
Mr.. Burke was one of the great men of his age,
with brilliant genius, but not equal to all
things. He was a better orator than philoso-
pher, and his powers of defamation and in
vective exceeded his craftsmanship We have
never been able to see the justice Of his esti-
mate of the French Revolution. But his biog-
raphy is full of interest, for he was man
whose life was associated with the greatest
events of the last century.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRACY IN THE NEW
YORK LEGISLATURE

To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune:
SIR: There is an inaccuracy in all the poit-
zeal classfcations of the next Legislature,
which have seen published Two ndepend-
ent or True Democrats are classed umong the
HGrdS, and but taco from this living growing
party are said to be elected to the Assembly
fhe facts are, that
Benjamin Joy, of Tompkins,
James NJ. Munro, of Onondaga,
Geo. W. Sterling, of Dutchesr, and
John B. Howell Of Ulster,
are all Free or Independent Democrats, men
who have wholly abjured the platforms Of the
old and etete parties.
From some acquaintance in other counties,
| believe 1t will be found that other Assembly
men elect are rightiully olassed with the old
parties, only because they have formerly acted
with them. But they are now committed fully
To labor and vote for the overthrow OF our ma
tons great scOurges Slavery and Rum
At all events, freedom has four men in the
Legislature Of whom no party need be asham

BY LUCY LARC0M.

BY LUCY LARCoM.
IT'S the time
When the chime
Of the seasons choral band is ringing out
Smoky brightness fills the air.
For the light winds everywhere
Censers full of lowery embers swing about.
Thrro is sweetness that Expresses
As tender parting blesses
There's a softenod glow Of beauty,
As when Love is wreathing Duty.
There are melodies that seem
Weaving past and future into one mild dream.
To her bier
Comes the year,
Nor with weeping and distress, mortals do
But, to guide her way to it,
All the trees have torches lit
Blazing red the naples shine the woodlands through
Gay witch -hazels in the river,
Watch their golden tapers culver.
Pickering burn the birches yellow,
With the oak and walnut mellow
Dark, sad pines stand breathless by,
Mourners sole, and mourning that they cannot die.
Through the trees
Tolls, then rings merry peal, and tolls again.
Dead leaves, shaken by the sound,
Slowly float and drop around
Memory so can wake and silence thoughts of pain.
Dead leaves lie upon earth's bosom,
Side by side with many blossom
Gentians, frnged with azure glory
Sky fakes dropped on meadows hoary;
Asters, thick and bright as sparks
Struck by angel oarsmen from their starry barks.
Oh! to die
When the sky
Smiles behind the Indian Summer hazy veil
Thus to gorify decay
Going in life's best array
Unto groves where death is forgotten tale.
Falls sorrow on the spirit?
Heavenly hopes are springing near it
Earth, happy child, rejoices
Singing with low angelvoices
When such autumn days are done,
There's Crown behind thy rays, o setting Sun

The NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER REJOICING,
The National ntellgeneer which is much
looked up to as the representative of Conserva-
tive Whigism, reioices at the result of the cleo
ton in New York, chiefly because the Hards
the peculiar friends of Southern rights, THAT is,
Slavery have defeated the Softs, the enemies
of Southern rights. Correcting a misappre-
hension into which the Union has fallen, it
says;
"Our alluson to the satisfaction with which
Southern Wings and Democrats would view
the result Of the election in New York, had no
reference to what the Union denominates a
triumph of Sewardism,' but, as the Union we'll
knew and our language plainly indicated, to
the triumph of the Compromise or Conserva-
tive Democrats over their Free Soil adversaries
Simply as Democratic quarrel, we cared lit
tie which wing triumphed or which was beat
en-. IL was the triumph Of the friends Of the
South and the Union that we rejoiced at--not
that the adherents of the Administration were
vanqushed. Ii was as demonstration of the
sound and correct feelings in that great State,
as regards Southern rights and the Union, that
We rejoiced at the triumph Of the Hards, es-
pecially when that triumph at the same time
placed the Wings in power"
1t will be observed that the triumph of the
Hdrds is the chief cause of its rejoicing; that
the Wings are placed in power is an incidental
source of qualification Is there any reason
why Southern Wings and Democrats with
Northern Hards and Northern Conservative
Wings, should not constitute one harmonious
Party! They are, for the most part, cordially
agreed as to Slavery, Intervention, Progress
Monopolies, &c Why should men 80 sympa-
thetic in feeling and opinion, be divided by old
party Names
