September, a political n. wspaper. nr.
NEL ',Hme WASHINGTON SENTI
In doing so, it i? proper I should make kuowu
i-iDW of JKT COrdi.al|y and earnestly the prin
It final J Democratic party of the United State,
n.ent ofX r^P?Me l? *" th? ?r?*a of ""M D<M>?n
ment of the Government, except in so far an an in
dependent maintenance of the doctrines of that
i?J2r?may r<,pre8"ut iU opinions and express its
?"lbitiou? to commend itself to the
people bv a blind flattery of their ruler#. It will I
P"^ Vpr?rt by the bold avowal of the
sentiments which are common to the genuine
don?of r?ny KhC Uni?n' and by the cond*SI? na
tion of all such as may conflict with them, from
ZbTj?! quwier they may come. It will *??k to
be (and it will endeavor to deserve the title) the
Stages Democratic party of the United
..,3?e wi!l n'a,ntain, 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, ?l-o, they created
the rederai Government, md delegated ?> 4
as their common agent, the power* ?xi>re^lv
specified in it. with an explicit reservation of nil
others to the States or to their separate govern
ments. The exercise of any power* l.eyon.l thes.
thus delegated, is,.therefore, an usurpation of the
reserved* uihority of the States by ihe Hvent ,1
their own creation.
The SurriNCL will uphold >iud defend the Union
upon the basis of the right* of thv States?under
the Constitution?and thus by sedulously guarding
the latter, it will the more -V.-ctuallv stfenSh.^
and perpetuate the former.
With regard to the exercise of the powers ol the
recsral Government, the Skntinki. will take a
the \ rinciples ol its action, thai Congress shall .*x
ercia no power which has not been delegated by
he C. nstitution, according to a strict and fair in'
terpret tion of its language and spirit; and that it
shall nc seek to attain indirectly an object through
the exei ise of constitutional power, for the direct
attainme t of whi.h it has no deletion of po,?.
n other word.-, all nowers exercised must he
clearly gra ted, and all granted pow?rs must be
I a If'110. ,unH>se, except such as is clear!v .n
tended by th Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration of the
Government, the Switinkl will sustaiu 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
ol 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 ol all their domestic concern*?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
nouor of the States composing it.
The Skntinsl 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
co"n'ry.> uP?n each occasion demanding attention
will be its guide in the course the SENnwii. wil
pursue.
The national policy of the world in this aire is
essentially aggressive. In th# growing sense 01
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
Our settled determination tc repel interference
lrom 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 invaded. For when the
selfish interests of other nation* 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 tv
war. ' ' I
Our foreign policy should, indeed, be defensive,
but to be properly drfenstve, it must aomatimes be
apparently aggressive. Our administration should
be yiplant, watchful, and energetic. The world
is tun of important movements, commercial and
political, deeply concerning American trade and
American power. It is time we had an American
lore 1 en policy. We must have it. We cannot
avoid it if wo would. We have larger interests, and
? greater stake in the world and its destiny, than
every other people. We occupy the best ?>rtion
ol a qpntinent, with no neighbors but a colony and
a worn-out, anarchical despotism. We are the
olny people whose own land, without colonial de
pendencies, is washed by the two great ocean, ol
the world Our agricultural productions arc more
varied and more essential to civilized life, and ta
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 m its yet hidden wealth
it 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
J.'E-S the '*le* of the ,e*' 'yn# "II arounti
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
ned to triumph over the barbarism and supersti
Hon of the millions mf the world. And shall such
a people refuse to lay hold upon their destiny, and
a?t upon the high mission to which it ia called1
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 Smrmxi. will, therefore, advocate a bold
and earnest foreign vol,cy, such as the condition of
the county demands; but it will advocate it under
the flag of the country?nowhera 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 nothine
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 111
insisting on its own. It must, in fine, be true to
its own interests, rights, and honor?it cannot then I
l>e false to thop# of other nation*.
Such, then, is the chart by which we shall be
guided. Independent and free, we shall endeavor
to be honest and truthful. The trua 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 de1
nounce. '
To our future brethren of the press we extend
the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the
rival of no press ot its own party?the personal
? nemy of none of the other.

Jjest wishes for its success in the establishment 01

for popular favor are announced, the public have
a right to demand the grounds upon which such
show of title to their patronage is made. In ac
Itnowledgmenl of this, we trace the customs of
parties in the avowal of principles; of religious
sects, in the promulgation of creeds; and ol 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
ating, though sometimes abused, are useful and
proper, and should not be discarded. And when,
in obedience to custom, new plans are proposed,
those approving ought not to withhold their en
couragement, as too many do, until they see that
suocess is sure, for their aid may be needed to
secure it. Such a foolish policy as this jeopar
dizes the plan they approve, and hastens its failure;
it has defeated many important enterprises, and
has deprived the countiy 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 THE
PROPOSED PERIODICAL
The SorTHERU Conservative Magazine wil^
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
magazinists. 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
Magazine.
The new magazine will be national and not
sectional; claiming no merit by virtue of its es
tablishment.^ 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 aide,
ami 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 advocate
measures, not men, and will labor only for the
success of principles.
It will be progressive, yet sternly op|?osed 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 tone and sentiment,
but will repudiate nothing foreign, merely because
so; believing that the good, the useful, and true
belong not, par excellence, to any favored people,
hut are the common right of all.
It will be the organ of pure conservatism.
It will entourage a high-toned literature, and
defend pure morals in all 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 finest
quality of paper, with new type, *nd in a plain
but superior style.
Each number will contain not less than ?*) large
octavo pages, made up of original articles, con
tributed and editorial ? reviews, political and
scientific essays, romances, poetry, fltc.
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.

the position he has for some time held asSuperin
tendent of the United Stales Census, intends to
devote himself to the control and management of
the Review, of which, for the last nine years, he
has been the editor and proprietor, and to the
publication in the City of Washington of a weekly
newspaper with the above title.
The material for this paper will consist, in part,
of selections or extracts from articles admitted
into the Review, but mainly of other original lite
rary, educational, industrial, and miscellaneous
matters, including digests of the current events of
the day, home and foreign; the proceedings ol
Congress and the acts of the Government; lite
rary and scientific sketches and essays upon
leading and popular topics; biographical sketches
of public men; digest of official reports, State and
Federal; the state of the markets in the several
arge cities; the progress and prospects of crops;
supply, demand, prices, etc.; the increase of the
country as shown by statistics, bringing down
those of the National Census always to date
The object will be, through careful editorial
management and a 'arge and well-selected cor
respondence, to establish at the sest of govern
ment a Family Newspaper which shall be adapted
to the wants of every community; imparting

the extent of maintaining the institutions ef the

of the States.

cultural Convention, etc., and the several Bureaus
and Departments of Government, from its oonti
guily to the large commercial cities, from the ex
tended, exciting, and all important interests that
eoncentrate upon it, is, perhaps, the most eligible

It is strong, durable, and not liable to get out of

It punches the hole well and to fit the Eyelet,

It saves time, as the papers, &c., need not be

It is useful to the merchant in filing away
