WOOD GAS.?CAUTION
BK it Unowu that I, the subscriber ob
tained letter* patent iii December, 1851. for
hii HpparHiiiK lor the destructive distillation ol
wood, and the making therefrom of tar or pitch al
pleasure, and gas; and that in the judgment oI
competent persons the invention of an appar
lus recently patented by W. D. Porter cannot Lie
used by him or any other person witnout infring
ing my said patent. And, further, that what is
patented by said Porter rightfully belongs to me,
as I expect to prove ere long before the United
States Patent Office; and, further, that the use of
said Porter's invention involves also a process
which I am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, and which has been adjudged to be
putentalile to the first inventor thereof, and which
said W.D. Porter has formally disclaimed, as ap
pears upon the public records of said office, ol
which un official copy is hereto annexed, and alsQ
a tiopy of his claims.
In the National Intelligencer of the 25th instant
Mr. Porter announces that he has secured by
patent the "exclusive right to making gas from
wood," and threatens prosecution to all parlies
infringing his patent. 1 ask how this statement
comports with the fact of my patent of December,
lS5l,and how far the threat can intimidate under
such circumstances? Mr. Porter's claim is based
upon a movable perforated diaphragm, and was
.?> understood by the Patent Office, as it appears
from the records of the Patent Office that hi*
claim was at first refused a* interfering with a
prior patent to Robert Foulis, of Canada, for an
equivalent contrivance. Thin claim, a< given be
low, and in which the perforated diaphragm is the
giving t!itu*e, is what Mr Porter calls securing
the "exclusive right to making gas from wood.
The statement carries absurdity ou its front, and
i.s a libel on the good sense of the Patent O'lice
If Mich a claim or right had been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal manufactory
in the country.
The following copies of correspondence and
extracts from ihe records of the Patent Office will
?li?>w the true slate of the ease
Unitk* Statics Paikmt Office.
A igust 25, 1854.
. In reply to your letter of this date, asking
"if any patent has been granted to W. D. Porter,
dated '22d August, 1&54, or at any other time, or
to any other person or persons, securing to him
or them u the exclusive right of making gas from
wood" (iiid whether any such claim wtis made by
W. D. Porter, under his application for a patent,
which letters patent were issued bearing the
above ijate, you are informed that W. D. Porter's
claims are believed to be c nfined to hii* appara
tus; and, further, this office is not aware that a
paiciil has been granted heretofore tor the exclu
sive right of making gas from u>o*it It would,
however, be unjustifiable to expert ine lo make
hii extended investigation to answer your re
quest.

4t will not be ambitious to commend itself to the
people by a blind flattery of their rulers. It.will

sentiments wnich are common to the genuine
Democracy of the Union, and by the condemna

whatever quarter they may come. It will seek to

In respect to the internal administration ol the

policy of the Democratic party. It will labor to
Inculcate this cardinal doctrine of Democratic in

promote the freedom and prosperity ol the people
Lf the Stales, by being less ambitious to exercise
power, and more ai.xious to preserve liberty , and
by leaving to the individual Stales the manage

tents itself with guarding the confederacy from
external violence, and directing the foreign policy
of the country to the promotion of the
interests, and defence of the common rights, and
honor of the States composing it.
The Skminf.l will advocate such a progressive
foreign policy as will suit itself to the exigencies
and correspond with the expanding interests o the
country. That policy should be energetic and de
eded; but should temper firmness with
and make its highest ends consist with the 8t'lclt '

The national policy of the world in this age is

Our settled determination tc repel interference
from abroad with our domestic concerns, wil

Our foreign policy shouKl. indeed, be defensive,

a greater stake in the world and its destiny, than
every other people. We occupy the l>est portion
of a continent, with ao neighbors but ? ?lon?

oli.y people whose own Ian J, without colonial de

through avenues which are at our doors, or must
be made through our own limits. Europe, Asia.
Africa, and the isles of the sc., 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
inss of liberty, civilnat.on, and religion, are de

a people refuse to lay hold upon their destiny, and
act upon the high missioa to which it
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 Sentihxl will, therefore, advocate a bold
and earnest foreign yoliry, such as the condition ol
the country demands; 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 I le couit r_

m the eyes of the world, it must ask for nothing
but what is right, and submit to noth.ng that is

the rights of others, and firm and immoveablr in
insisting on its own. It must, in fine. 1* true to

be false to tho?? ol other nations.
Such, then, i. the chart by which wr shall be

valive Magazine.? When new aspirants
tor popular favor are announced, the public have
aright to demand the grounds upon which such
show ol title to their patronage is made. In ac
knowledgment of this, we trace the customs of
parties hi the avowal of principles; of religious
sects, in the i roiiiulgatiO|i of creeds; -'iid of per
sons in all pursuits of hie, dependent upon the
public for success, in their preparatory expositions
of plans and purposes Ttie customs thus origin
ating, thopgh soui' times abu?ed, are useful and
proper, and shouid not be discarded. And when,
in obedience to custom, new plans are proposed,
tho?e approving ought not to withhold their en
couragement, its too mauy do, until they see that
success is sure, for their aid may be needed to
secure rl. Such a Ibolisli policy as thu> jeopar
dizes the plan they approve, and hastens its failure;
it has defeated many important enterprizes, and
has deprived the country of good and useful works
If u new proposition ol any kind is approved by
the public, the support of those approving is of
'right expected, their approval being solicited only
in the view that their more substantial aid wiH
not be withheld.
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF THE
PROPOSED PERIODICAL.
The Southern Conservative Magazine will
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
uingasiiiisi*. It is believed that a field is open for
a periodical ol a new and, in some respects, a
higher order than has been aimed at in our maga
zine literature. In this belief, and with >uch an
aim, we announce the bouthcrn Conservative
Magazine.
The new magazine will be nntior.al and not
sectional; clniming no merit by virtue of its es
tablishment in the South, but among at a higher
usefulness and a more general acceptability.
It will be Protectant,but not sectarian; opposing
religious bigotry or intollcrance on the one side,
and infidelity on the other - laboring in its teach
ings to advance a closer union between the several
branches of the great family of the church.
It will lie political, but liberal; owing no slavish
sllegiance to parties or politicians, it will advocate
measures, not men, and Will labor only for the
success of principles.
It will be progressive, yet sternly opjiosed to
the reckless spirit of innovation so rile in the
country?aiming to elevate and advance, not de
prcs ; to reform and improve, not to destroy;
sacredly adhering to the true intent ol our fieat
republican theory, and tailoring to advance it to
its fullest development.
It will be truly American in tone and sentiment,
but will repudiate nothing foreigu, merely liecsuse
so; believing that the good, the useful, and true
belong not, par exc-l ence. to any favored people,
but are the common right of all
It will be the organ ol pure conservatism.
It will encourage a high-toned literature, and
defend pure morals in ail the social relations of
life.
And it will number in its corps of regular con
tributors some of the ablest political and literary
writers of the country
The magazine will be printed on the fine?t
quality of paper, with .new type, and in a plain
but superior style.
Each number will contain not leas than 50 large
octavo page", made up of original articles, con
tributed and editorial ? reviews, political and
scientific e?says, romances, poetry, &c.
We promise much for the new magazine, and
wo intend to perform it all, and more, if the read
ing public wi.l give the enterprise a liberal en
couragement.

All parties in want of a good Eyelet Machina

best ever brought belore the public, possessing
numerous advantages, viz:
It is strong, durable, and not liable to get out ol

It punches the hole well and to fit the Eyelet,
and in one operation clinches the Eyelet on both

It saves time, as the papers, &c., need not be
reversed or turned over lo clinch the Eyelet a

It is u*eful to ihe merchant in liliug away
