W(>OI> GAS.?CAUTION.
E It kituwu that I, the aubacrlber oi>
, , tained Idlers patent in December, lb51, tor
nil upparatua for the destructive distillation oJ
WOO a. aud tbe making therefrom of tar or pitch at
pleasure, and gun j and that in the judguieut ol
competent persons the luvention of au a p par
tita recently pateuted by W. IX Porter cannot W
used by him or any other person without infring
ing my caid patent. Ana, further, that what m
patented by said Porter rightfully belongs to me,
as I expect to prove ere long before the United
Stales 1'iHcut Office ; aud, further, that the use of
suid Porter's invention involve# also a process
which I am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, and which has been adjudged to he
patentable to the first inventor thereof, and which
said W. D. Porter has formally diacluimed. as ap
pears upon tbe public records of said office, of
which au offioial copy is hereto annexed, and also
a copy of his claims.
In.the National Intelligencer of tbe 25th instant
Mr. Port?y announces that he has secured by
patent the "exclusive right to making gaslVom
wood," and threatens prosecution to all parties
infringing his patent. I aak how this statement
'?optports with the fact of my patent of December,
rt5l, aud how far the threat emn intimidate under
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 Office that his
claim was at first refused as interfering wilh a
prior patent to Robert Foulis, of Canada, for an
equivalent contrivance. This claim, as given be
low, and in which tbe perforated diaphragm is the
Having clause, is what Mr. Porter calls securing
the "exclusive right to making gas from wood.
The statement carries absurdity on its lront, and
is a libel on the good sense of the Patent Office
If such a claim or right had been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal manulactory
in the country.
The following copies of correspondence and
extracts from the records of the Patent Office will
show the true state of the ease:
Unitk* States Patent Office,
August 25, 1854.
Sir . in reply to your letter of this date, asking
" if any patent has been granted to W. D. Porter,
dated 23d August, 1654, or at, any other tune, or
to any other person or persons, securing to him
or them " the exclusive right oj malctn g^ gas from
wood" and whether any such claim was made by
W. D. Porter, under his application for a patent,
which letters patent were issued bearing the
above dale, you are informed that W. D. Porter a
claims are believed to be c nfined to his appara
tus; and, further, this office is not aware that a
patent has been ijranfed heretofore lor the exclu
sive right of muting go* from wo*d It would,
however, be unjustifiable to expect me to make
iiii extended investigation to answer your re
quest.

Oiplea of the Democratic party of tU UnUtd St.u,?
menTofih Pf^PO"" l? he lhe (>r^un of ?Y Depart

dependent maintenance of the doctrine* of that
vfew. Mpre**nt ?? opinion* and express us
It will not be ambitious to conun >id itself to the
people by * blind flattery of their ruler#. It will
?eek public kipport.by the bold avowal of tn?
aeutimenta which are common to the genuine
Democracy of the Union, and by the condemna
tion of all such as may conflict with them, from
whatever quarter they may come. It will seek to
rx? (and it will endeavor to deserve the title) the*
o?s?n of the Ren^ -ratic party of th? Unite-!
?States.
The Sentinel will maintain, as a fun dame nt 1
truth of that great party, that the States formed the
u nion between them by the ratification of the Con -
stitution as a compact; by which, also, thev created
the Federal Government, and delegated 'o u,
aw 'heir common agent, the |K>wers 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 thes
thus delegated, is, therefore un usurpation of the
reserved authority of the States l.y the itren? .,t
their own creation.
The Sentinel will uphold and defend the Union
upon the basis of the rights of the States?under
the Constitution?and thus by sedulously guarding
the iatter, it will the more effectually ??'remrthen
and perpetuate the former.
With regard to the exercise of the powers ol the
re<.eral Government, the Sxntinel will take as
the } rinciple* of itfc action, that Congress ^halj t*x
ercis^ no power which has not be<;n delegated l.y
the C. nstitution, according to a strict and fair in-.
-tion of its language and spirit; and that it
shall nt seek to attain indirectly an objectthrough
the exei -ise of constitutional power, for the direct
attainme t of which it has no delegatU)n*of porrrr.
In other words, nil [towers exercised must be
clearly gra ted, and all granted powers must be
used for no uirpose, except such a? is clearly in
tended by th Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration of the
Government, the Sentinel will sustain the settled
jKjlicy 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
|>ower, and more anxious to preserve liberty; and
by leaving to the individual States the manage
inent 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, ujton each occasion demanding attention
will be its guide in the course the Sentinel wil
pursue.
The nntional policy of the world in this age is
essentially aggressive. In the growing sense ol
weakness of some of the nationsofthe Old World,
and the ambitious restlessness of others, a com
mon motive to colonial extension has developed
U.lf 4 .
Our settled determination tc repel interference
from abroad with our domestic concerns, wil
prom|?t us to avoid it in the affairs of other coun
tries, unless by their foreign or colonial policy our
peace shoul^ l>e threatened, our security endan
gered, or our interests invaded. For when the
?elfish interests of other nations prompt a foreign I
or colonial policy which infringes upon our rights
and placea la the pathway of our commerce a'
dangerous and unfriendly rival, such a policy must
be resisted by remonstrance, and, if need be, ky
war. '
Our foreign policy shouid. indeed, l>e defensive,
but to lie properly defensiv?. it must sometimes be
apparently aggressive. Our administration should
be vigilant, watchful, and energetic. The world
is full of important movements, commercial and
politifjil, deeply concerning American trade and
American power. It is time we had an Ainericau
foreign policy. We must 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 no neighbors but a colony, and
a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the
olny people whose own land, without colonial de
fendenciea, is washed by the two great oceans ol
the world. Our agricultural productions are more
varied and more essential to civilized life, and t?
human progress?our mineral and manufacturing
resources more vast?our facilities and capacity for
internal and foreign comrrierce more extended
than those of any other people living under one
government. A continent, to a great extent, un
explored and exhauatless in its yet hidden wealth
is at our feet. European trade seeks the great East
through avenues which are at our doocs, or mu?t
be made through our own limits. Europe, Asia,
Africa, and the isles of the wea. 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 ef the world. And shall such
? 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 ao 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 8*irriN*L will, therefore, advocate a hold
and earnest foreign polity, 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. To
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 magnanimou- to
the rights of others, and firm and immoveable in
insisting on its own. It must, in fine, l?e true to
lis own interest*, rights, and honor it cannot UMfl
be fal*e 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 at
democratic principles we shall cordially support
? n<l defend. Its enemies in the field or in ambush
we shall oppose, and on all proper occasion- de
nounce. *
To our future brethren of the press we extend
the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is th.
rival of no press of its own parly?the i?er*onal
enemy of none ofthe other.
The present Democratic Administration has our
Ijest wishes for its success in the establishment of
the great principles upon which it came into power
and in its honest labors to attain such an. end it
will find the Sentinel its friend and coadjutor.

show of title to their patronage i* made. In ac
knowledgment of this, we trace the customs of
pnrtie- in the avowal of principles; of religions
sects, in the promulgation of creeds; and of per
sons in all pursuits of life, dependent upon the
public for success, in their preparatory expositions
of plans and purposes The customs thus origin
nting, though soimtimes abused, are useful and
proper, and should not lie discarded. And ,when,
in obedience to custom, new plans are proposed,
tho??? approving ought not to withhold their en
couragement, as too many do, until they ?ee that

secure it. Such a foolish policy jeopar
dizes the plan they approve, and hastens its luilure ;
it has defeated mauy important enterprises, and
has deprived the country of good and useful work*.
If a new proposiMon of any kind is approved by
the public, the support of those approving is of
right expected, their approval being solicited only
i? the view that their more substantial aid will
not be withheld. ap tup*
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF THL
PROPOSED PERIODICAL.
The Soithek* Conservative Magazixk will
occupy gritunds but little cultivated by American
mauazinists. It is believed that a field is open for
a periodical of a new and, in some respects, a
higher order than has been aimed at in our maga
zine literature. In this belief, and with such an
aim, we announce the Southern Conservative
MT^he"new magazine will be natiotal and not
sectional; claiming no merit by virtue of its es
tablishment in the South, but aiming 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 lufidelity 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 wi I >
measures, not men, and will labor only for tf?|
success of principles. .
It will bi progressive, yet aternly opined to
the reckless spirit of innovation so rife in the
country?aiming to elevate and advance, not de
pres,; to reform and improve, not to destroy ,
sacredly adhering to the true intent of our greet
republican theory, and laboring to advance it to
its fullest development.
It will be truly American in tone and sentiment,
but will repudiate nothing foreign, merely because
so: believing that the good, the useful, and true
belong not, par excel'ence, to any favored people,
but are the common right of all.
It will l?e the organ of pure conservatism.
It will encourage a high-toned literature, amr
defend pure morals in all the social relatione of
11 And it will number in it* corps of regular con
tributors some of the ablest political and literary
writers of the country.
Trie magazine will be printed on the finest
quality of paper, with new type, and in a plain
but superior style.
Each number will contain not less than .*) large
octavo pages, made up of original article*, con
tributed and editorial ?reviews, political and
scientific essays, romances, poetry, ?c.
We promise much for the new magazine, and j
we intend to perform it all, and mose, if the read
ing public will give the enterprise a liberal en
i conragement.
