WOOD GAS.?CAUTION
E It knowa that I, the subscriber ?b
_ w tamed letters patent iti December, 1851, tor
an apparatus tor the destructive distillation ol
wood, and the makiug therefrom of tar or pitch ai
pleasure, and gait; and that in the judgment ol
competent persons the invention of au appar
tiiK recently patented by W. U. Porter cannot be
used by him or any other person witnout infring
ing my said patent. Ana, lurther, that what m
patented by said Porter rightfully belong* to me,
as L expect to prove ere long before the United
State* Patent Ulfice ; aud, further, that the use of
said Porter's invention involves also a process
which I am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, fcnd which has been adjudged to be
patentable to the first inventor thereof, and which
said W. D. Porter has formally diaclaimed, aa ap
pears upon the publio records oI said office, ol
which an official copy is hereto annexed, aud also
a copy 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 presecution to all parties
infringing his patent. I ask how thia statement
comports with the fart of my patent of December,
1851, and how far the threat can intimidate "nder
such circumstances? Mr. Porter's claim is based
upon a movable perforated diaphragm, and was
so understood by the Patent Office, as it appears
from the records of the Patent ' >ffice that his
chum wan at first refused as interfering with a
prior patent to Robert Foulis, of Canada, lor an
equivalent contrivance. This claim, a* given be
low, aud in which the perforated diaphragm is the
naving clause, is what Mr. Porter calls securing
the "exclusive right to making gas from wood."
The statement carries absurdity on its front, and
is a libel on the good sense of the Patent Oitice
If such a claim or right had been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln aud charcoal manufactory
in the country.
The following copies of correspondence an?t
extracts from the records of the Patent Office will
show ihe true state of the case:
Unite* States Patent Ofkicjc,
An%ust '25, 1854.
Sir . In reply to your letter of this date, asking
" if any patent has been granted to W. D. Porter,
dated 22d August, 1854, or at any other time, or
to any other person or persons, securing to him
or them " the exclusive right of mak ing gas fro-m
wood" aud whether any such claim was made by
W. 1). Porter, under his application for a patent,
which letters patent were issued bearing the
above date, you are informed that W. D. Porter s
claims are believed to be c nfined to his appara
tus; aud, further, this office is not awars that a
patent has been granted heretofore for the exclu
sive right of making go* from wwd U would,
however, be unjustifiable to expect me to make
an extended investigation to answer your re
quest.

?'WA?IIIN(n'ON SUNTI N Hi..'
I PROPOSE to publish in tile city of \Va*i?;u. -
ton, in September, a political newspaper. un
der the uttine of the WASHINGTON SbNTI
NEL
In doing bo. it is proper 1 should make known
the principle* it will maintain, and the policy it
will advocate.
It will support cordially and earnestly the priii
ciples of the Democratic party of t/w United Htntrx
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 doctrines ol that
party may represent itn opinion- and tixpresa its
views.
It will not be ambitious to commend ilsell to the
people by a blindl flattery of their rulers. It will
seek public upport by the l>old avowal of the
sentiments which are common to the genuino
Democracy of the Union, and by the condemna
tion of all such as may conflict with theoi, Iroin
whatever quarter they may come. It will seek, to
be (and it will endeavor to deserve ihe title) the
organ of the Democratic party the United
States.
The Skntinkt. will maintain, an n fuudameiit'l
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, als?* they created
the Federal Government, and delegated to it,
ax their common agent the powers ?press!v
specified in it, with au explicit reservation of i.l
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 State* hv 'he nirent .v
their own creation.
The Skntinkt will uphold and defend the biuon
upon the basis of the rights of thw States?under
the Constitution?and thus by sedulously guarding
the latter, it will the more effectually ?trengtb?"l
and perpetuate the former.
With regard to the exercise of the powers ol the
Fecrral Government, the Sentinel will take us
the j rinciples of its action, that Congress shall ex
ercis no power which has not been delegated by
the C. nswtution, according to a strict and (air in
terpret lion of its language and spirit; und that it
shall nc seek to attain indirectly an object through
the eXei 'ise of constitutional poftw, for the direct
attainme t of whieh it has no delegation of power.
In other words, all powers exercised must be
clearly gra ted, aud all granted powers must be
used tor no >ur|>o?e, except such <t* is dearlv in
tended by th Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration ol the
Government, the Sentinel will sustain the settled
policy of the Democratic party. It will labor to
inculcate this cardinal doctrine ol Democratic in
ternal policy:?that this Government will l>esf
promote the freedom and prosperity of the people
of the Stales, 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 ol the
country. That policy should be energetic and de
cided; but should temper firmness with Morality,
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 wil
pursue. ;
The national policy of the world in this age is
essentially aggressive. In the growing sense of
weakness of some of the nation* of the Old World,
and the ambitious restlessness ol others, a com
mon motive to colonial extension has developed
?elf. , . r
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
gered, or our* interests iuvaded. For when the
selfish interest* or other nations prompt u foreign
t>r colonial policy which infringes u|?on our rights,
and places in the pathway of our commerce a
dangerous apd unfriendly rival, such a policy must
be resisted by remonstrance, and, if need l>e, W\
war.
Our foreign policy aboutd. indeed, be defensive,
but to be properly dtfeneii??, .t must sometimes be
apparently aggressive. Our administration shou d
be vigilant, watchful, and energetic. The world
is full of iinportaut movements, commercial und
political, deeply concerning American trade and
American power. It is time we had an American
foreign policy. We must have U. We cannot
avoid it if we would. We have larger interests, and
a greater slake in the world and its destiny, than
every other people. We occupy the best portion
of a continent, with no neighbors but a colony, and
a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the
olny people whose own land, without colonial de
fendencies, is washed by the two great oceans ol !
the world. Our agricultural productions are more
varied and more essential to civiliied life, and l<?
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 gTeat extent, un
explored and exhaustless in its yet hidden wealth
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, civiluation, and religion, are des
tined to triumph over the barbarism and supersti
tion of the millions ef the world. And shall such
a people refuse to lay hold upon their destiny, and
act upon the high mission to which it is called?
A mission so full of hope, though so laden with
responsibility, which, if property 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 poliqr, such as the condition of
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 the country. o
be respectable at home and abroad, and to be great
in the eyes of the world, it must ask for nothing
but what is right, and submit to nothing that is
wrong It must be liberal and magnanimous to
the rights of others, and firm and immoveable in
insisting on its own. It must, in line, be true 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
guided. Independent and free, we shall endeavor
to be honest and truthful. The true friends ol
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 b-ethren of the press we extend
the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the
rival of no press ol its own party?the personal
enemy of none of the other.
The present Democratic Administration has our
lest wishes for its success in the establishment ot
the great principles upon which it came into power;
and in its honest labors to attain such an end H
will find the Sentinel its friend and coadjutor.

secure it. Such a foolish policy as this jeopar
dizes the plan tliey approve, and hadens its failure:
it has defeated many important enterprises, and
has deprived the country of good and useful works.
If a new proposition of 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 will
not be withheld. .
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF THh
PROPOSED PERIODICAL
The Southern Conservative Magazine will
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
magazinists. It is believed that a field is open lor
a periodical ol a new and, in some respects, a
higher order than has beeu aimed at in our maga
zine literature. In this belief, and with such an
aim, we announce the Southern Conservative
Magazine.
The new magazine will be national and not
sectional; claiming no merit by virtue of it* es
tablishment in the South, but auniiiR at a higher
usefulness and a more general acceptability.
It will be Protestant, but not sectarian; opposing
religious bigotry or intolerance 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 be political, but liberal; owing no slavish
allegiance to parties or politicians, it will ad vocate
measures, not men, and will labor only for the
success of principles.
It will be progressive, yet sternly opposed to
the reckless spirit of innovation so rife in the
country?aiming to elevate and advance, not de
press; to reform and improve, not to destroy;
sacredly adhering to the true intent of our great
republican theory, and laboring to advance it to
its fullest development.
It will be truly American in lone and sentiment,
but will repudiate nothing foreign, merely because
ao: believing that the good, the useful, and true
belong not, par excellence, to any favored people,
but are the common right of all.
It will be the organ of pure conservatism.
It will enconrage a high-toned literature, and
defend pure morals In all the social relations of
life. ...
And >t will numl>er in its oorps of regular con
tributors some of the ablest political and literary
writers of the country.
The magazine will be printed on tha finest
quality of paper, with new type, and in a plain
but superior style. , r? ,
Kach number will contain not lea* lhan .>() large
octavo pages, made up of original articles, con
tributed and editorial ? reviews, political and
scientific essays, romances, poetry, Arc.
We promise much for the new magazine, and
we intend to perform it all, and more, if the read
ing public will give the enterprise a liberal en
couragement.
