T PROPOSE i? publiMh in the city of Washin-i ? ton, in September, a political newspaper, ui NEL name WASHINGTON SENTI ii.^0 " proper I should make known will 'advocate.'1 W mainUiU' ,he ^ il oiil wiIJ.""PP?rt cordially and earnestly the prin ciplcs of the Democrat** party of the United States it does not propose to be the organ of any Depart mem of the Government, except in so far as an in dependent maintenance of the doctrines of that party may represent its opinion* and express its views. It will not be ambitious to commend itself to the Peop'e bv a blind flattery of their ruler*. It will seek public support by the bold avowal of the sentiments which are common to the geuuine Democracy of the Union, and by the condemna tion of all sueh as may conflict with them, from whauver quarter they may come. It will seek to t>e (and it will endeavor to deserve the title) the wgai^of the Democratic party of the United . Tk? ^'1 maintain, as a fundamenta truth of that great party, that the Stales formed the Union between them by the ratification of the Con stitution as a compact; by which, alse, they created the Federal Government, and delegated to it, as their common igeit, the powers expressly specified in it, with an explicit reservation of all to^the States, or to their separate govern ?ent;- . The ??refM 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 SxirrmxL will uphold and defend the Union upon the basis of the rights of the States?under the Constitution?end thus by sedulously guarding the latter, it will the more effectually strengthen and perpetuate the former. With regard te the exercise of the powers of the hec-sral Government, the S*ntin*l will take as the \ rinciples of its action, that Congress shall ex ercis no j>ower which has not been delegated by the C. nsthution, according to a strict and fair in terpret *'on of its language and spirit; and that it shall nt seek to attain itidirealy an object through the exei 'iseof constitutional power, for the direct attain me t of whieh it has no delegation of power. In other words, all powers exercised roust be clearly gra ted, and all granted powers must be used for no uirpose, except such as is clearly in, tended by th Constitution. In respect to the internal administration of the Government, the Se*ti.nkl will sustain the settled policy of the L mocralic party. It will labor to inculcate this ci dinal doctrine of Democratic in ternal policy:?i at?this Government will best promote the freed m and prosperity of the people of the Stales, by being less ambitious to exercise Cower, and more ar.xious to preserve liberty; and y leaving to the individual States the manage mcnt of all their domestic concerns?while it corw 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 Sentinkl 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 firmnes* with liberality and make its highest snds consist with the strieteM principles of justice. The real interests of the country, upon caoh occasion demanding attention will be its guide la the course the Sxntinkl wil pursue. The national policy of the world in this age Is essentially aggressive. In the growing seime ol weakness of some of the nation* of the Old World and the ambitious restlessness of others, a com' mon motive to colonial extens>on has developed self. Our settled determination tc repel interference from abroad with our domestic concerns, wil prompt us to avoid it in the affairs of other coun tries, unless by their foreign or colonial policy our peace should be threatened, our security endan or our interests inVaded. For when the selnbh 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, if need be, i\ war. ' ' Our foreign policy should, indeed, be defensive ; but to !*? properly defensive. ,t must sometimes be apparently aggressive. Our administration should be vigilaut, watchful, and energetic. The world is full of important movements, commercial and politwal, deeply concerning American trade and American power. It is time we had an American foreirn policy. We roust have it. We cannot avoid it if we would. We have larger interests, and a greater stake in the world and its destiny, than every other people. We occupy the best portion of a continent, with so neighlwrs but a colony, and a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the olny people whose own land, without colonial dc lendencies, is washed by the two great oceans ol the world. Our agricultural productions are more varied and more essential to civilised life, and t* human progress?our mineral and manufacturing resources more vast?our facilities and capacity for internal and foreign cominerue 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 wealth is at our feet. European trade aeeks th* great Earn through avenues which are at our doors, or must be made through our own limits. Europe, Asis Africa, and the isle* of the sea, lying all arounJ us, look to us as th* rising power, through the agencv of whose example, and ever widening and extending, though p**ceful influences, the bless ings of liberty, civilisation, and religion, are des tined to triumph over the barbarism and supersti tion of th* millions *f the world. And shall such s people refuse to Isjr hold upon their destiny, snd 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 ss the peaceful srbiter of its , destinv The Stjrrm*L will, therefore, , lfJ and earnest foreign policy, such ss the condition of the country demands; but it will sdvocate it under the flag of the country^-oowbere else. Its foreign policy must be consistent with the spotless honor and unimpeachable good faith of the country. To be respectable at home and abroad, and tobegrast in th* eye* of the world, it must ask for nothing hut what ia right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. It must be liberal and magnanimous to the rigbfs of others, and firm and immoveable in insisting oa as own. It must, in fine, be true to its own interests, rtgh/s. and honor?it cannot then be false to those of other nations Such, then, is the chart by which we sfegj) be guided Independent and free, we ahall endeavor to be honest and truthful. The tru* friends ot democratic priB?.pl** we shall cordially support and defend. Ita enemies in the field or in ambush we shall oppose, and on all proper occasions de* nounee. ' To our future brethren of the press we extend the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the rival of no presa of its own party?the personal enemy of none of the other. The present Democratic Administration ha* our lest wishes for its suroess in the establishment ot the great principle* upon which itcameinto power; and in its honest labors to attain sueh sn end it will find the Srntskki, it* friend and coadjutor.

B WOOD OAS.?CAUTION E It known that I, the subaerlher ab tained letter* patent in Duceuil)cr, l&ol, lot an apparatus for the destructive distillation ol wood, and the making therefrom of tar or pitch at pleasure, and gas; and that in the judgment ol competent pereons the invention of an appar tus recently patented by W. D. Porter cannot ba used by him or auy other person wiuout infring iitg my said patent. And, further, that what w vatenud by said Porter rightfully belongs to uie, as I expect to prove ere long before the United States Patent Office ; and, further, that the use ol said Porter's invention involves also a nroces* which I am now claiming before the Uailed Statea Patent Office, and which has been adjudged to ba patentable to the first inventor thercol. and whioh said W. D. Porter has formally disclaimed, ss ap pears upon the public records oi said office, ot which all official copy is hereto annexed, and also a copy of his claims. In the Nal'tonaJ ItitfUigrvcrr ef the 25'.. o instant Mr. Porter announces that he ha* secured by patent the "exclusive right to making gas from wood," and threatens preseeution to all parlies infringing his patent, I ask how this statement comports with the toft of my patent of December, 1851, and how far the three! can intimidate under suoh circumstances? Mr. Porter'sclsim is based upon a movable perforated diaphrugui, and was so understood by the Pstent Office, as it appears from the records of the Pstent Office that his claim was at first refused as interfering with a prior patent to Robert Foulis, of Cansda, for sn equivalent contrivance. TUi? claim, as given be low, and in which the perforated diaphragm is the saving clause, is what Mr Porter cslls securing the "exclusive right to making gas from wood.' The statement carries absurdity on its front, and is a libel ou ti>< good sense of the Patent Ortioa If such a claim or right had been granted, it woa'd forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal manufactory ,n the country. The following copies of correspondence and extracts from the records of the Patent Office wiU show the true state of the ease: Umtxd States Patekt Orvicx, August 25, 1&64. Six .

D. Porter, under his application for a patent, which letters patent were issued bearing the above date, yon sre informed that W. D.
