By the Author of the Republic of the United States, dtc. mHIS important work is now in press, the first ' I volume of which will be issued early in the autumn of 1854. The publication of this work will be continued by the subscribers ; and in due time they will pub lish in the several States a complete list of agents, who will be prepared to furnish copies promptly in every part of the Union. That the author may have ample time to prepare . his work according to his views of completeness.; that the publishers may be enabled to issue the numbers with promptness and at stated periods, thereby protecting the interest of their agents, the following arrahgement is announced in the lull confidence that it will prove acceptable to all, viz: To stereotype the next six numbers, making ten in all, thus completing the first volume be/ore any more are published. The numbers will then be issued monthly, with ?"out interruption, to the end. Those who prefer the volume bound will be accommodated without extra charge for binding; and the numbers already published, from one to four, \vill be taken in part pay, if not injured, at their full cost to subscribers. In announcing this unavoidable delay for a few months, the publishers are not unmindful of the earnest desire of many speedily to possess the work. The necessity of accommodating the au thor, whose labors are incessant, will appear ob vious to all without particular explanation. DAYTON & WENTWORTH, Publishers, 86 Washington St., Boston.

To C. E. Dctmotd, President N. J. Zinc Co., N. iF. Sir: A series of experiments conducted by me, with tho utmost care, during the past three years, upon all the various paints and artificial prepara tions for the preservation of timber, have led me to the important discovery that the White Zinc Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com pany, serves as a perfect protection against the ravages of the marine worm, nnd the formation ol barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation ol any kind combines the same protective effect. 1 am now preparing a full report on this impor tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks,at Washington, and shall send with it a complete se ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which were covered with the different paints and pre parations, and then exposed alike for an entire season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard ; all of which illustrates, in the most striking manner, the invaluable qualities and decided superiority ol your While Zinc Paint over all other kinds paints, especially for marine purposes. You are at liberty to give full publicity to the above stated facts, which are of too much impor tance to be kept from the naval and commcrcial world. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES JARVIS, Inspector U. S. Navy Yard, Gosport, Va. Office of the N. Y. and Liverpool U. S. Mail Steamship Co., Ja>K 31, 1854.

I PROPOSE to publish in the city of Washing^ ton, in September, a political newspaper, un der the name of tho WASHINGTON SENTII NEL. 1 In doing so, it it proper I should make known the principles it will maintain, and the policy it will advocate. It will support cordially and earnestly the prin ciplcs of the Devwcratic party of the United States. it does not propose to be the organ of any Depart ment of the Government, except in so far as an in dependent maintenance of the doutrines of that party may represent its opinions and express its views. It will not be ambitious to commend itself to the people by a blind flattery of their rulers. It will seek public support by the bold avowal of the sentiments which are common to the genuine Democracy of the Union, and by the condemna tion of all such as may conflict with thein, from whatever quarter they may come. It will seek to l>e (and it will endeavor to deserve the title) the organ of the Democratic party of the United States. The Sentinel will maintain, as a fundamental truth of that great party, that the States formed the Union between them by the ratification of the Con stitution as a compact; by which, also, they created the Federal Government, and delegated to it, as their common ageut, the powers expressly specified in it, with an explicit reservation of all others to the States, or to their separate govern ments. The exercise of any powers beyond these thus delegated, is, therefore, an usurpation of the reserved authority of the States by the agent 01 their own creation. The Sentinel will uphold and defend the Union upon the basis of the rights of tho States?under the Constitution?and thus by sedulously guarding the latter, it will the more effectually strengthen and perpetuate the former. With regard to the exercise of the powers of the Federal Government, the Sentinel will take as I he principles of its action, that Congress shall ex ercise no power which has not been delegated by the Constitution, according to a strict and fair in- i terpretation of its language and spirit; and that it shall not seek to attain indirectly an objectthrough the exercise of constitutional power, for the direct attainment of which it has no delegation of power. In other words, all powers exercised must be clearly granted, and ail granted powers must be used for no purpose, except such as is clearly in tended by the Constitution. In respect to the internal administration of the Government, the Sentinel will sustain the settled policy of the Democratic party. It will labor to inculcate this cardinal doctrine of Democratic in ternal policy:?that this Government will best promote the freedom and prosperity of the people of the States, by being less ambitious to exercise power, and more anxious to preserve liberty; and by leaving to the individual States the manage ment of all their domestic concerns?while it con tents itself with guarding the confederacy from external violence, and directing the foreign policy of the country to the promotion of the common interests, and defence of the common rights, and honor of the States composing it. The Sentinel will advocate such a progressive foreign policy as will suit itself to the exigencies, and correspond with the expanding interests of the country. That policy should be energetic and de cided ; but should temper firmness with liberality and make its highest ends consist with the strictest principles of justice. The real interests of the country, upon each occasion demanding attention, will be its guide in the course the Sentinel will pursue. The national policy of the world in this ago is essentially aggressive. In the growing sense 01 weakness of some of the nations of the Old World, and the ambitious restlessness of others, a com mon motive to colonial extension has developed iself. Our settled determination to repel interference from abroad with our domestic concerns, will prompt us to avoid it in the affairs of other coun tries, unless by their foreign or colonial policy our peacc should be threatened, our security endan gered, or our interests invaded. For when the selfish interests of other nations prompt a foreign or colonial policy which infringes upon our rights, and places in the pathway of our commerce a dangerous and unfriendly rival, such a policy must be resisted by remonstrance, and, jf need bo, ky war. Our foreign policy should, indeed, be defensive ; but to be properly defensive, it must sometimes be ajrparently aggressive. Our administration should be vigilant, watchful, and energetic. The world is full of important movements, commercial and political, deeply concerning American trade and American power. It is time we had an American foreign policy. We must havo it. We cannot avoid it if we would. We have larger interests, and a greater stake in the world and its destiny, than ?every olher people. We occupy the best portion of a continent, with no neighbors but a colony, and a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the only people whose own land, without colonial de fendcncies, is washed by the two great oceans of the world. Our agricultural productions arc more varied and more essential to civilized life, and to human progress?our mineral and manufacturing resources more vast?our facilities and capacity for internal and foreign commerce more extended than those of any other people living under one government. A continent, to a great extent, un explored and exhaustless in its yet hidden wcnlth is at our feet. European trade seeks the great East through avenues which are at our doors, or must be made through our own limits. Europe, Asia. Africa, and the isles of the sea, lying all around us, look to us as the rising power, through the agency of whose example, and ever widening and extending, though peaceful influences, the bless ings of liberty, civilization, and religion, are des tined to triumph over the barbarism and supersti tion of the millions of the world. And shall such a people refuse to lay hold upon their destiny, and I act upon the high mission to which it is called? A mission so full of hope, though so laden with responsibility, which, if properly directed, must make our confederacy the harbinger of peace to the world, as well as the peaceful arbiter of its destiny. The Sentinel will, therefore, advocate a bold and earnest foreign policy, such as the condition o I the country deinauds; but it will advocate it under the flag of the country?nowhere else. Its foreign policy must be consistent with the spotless honor and unimpeachable good faith of the country. To lie respectable at homeand abroad, and to be great in the eyes of tho world, it must ask for nothing but what is right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. It must be liberal and mngnanimoifs to the rights of others, and firm and immoveable in insisting on its own. It must, in fine, be trite to its own interests, rights, and honor?it cannot then be false to those of other nations. Such, then, is the chart by which we shall be I guided. Independent and free, we shall endeavor to be honest and truthful. The true friends of democratic principles we shall cordially support and defend. Its enemies in the field or in'ambush ! we shall oppose, and on all proper occasions de nounce. To our future brethren of the press we extend the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the rival of no press of its own party?the personal enemy of none of the other. i The present Democratic Administration has our best wishes for its success in the establishment of the great principles upon which it came into power; and in its honest lal>ors to attain such an end it will find the Sentinel its friend and coadjutor.
