All parties in want of a good Eyelet Machine
are strongly recommended to use none but '-Lip

best ever brought before the public, possessing
numerous advantages, viz:
It is strong, durable, and not liable lo get out ol
order.
It punches the hole well and to fit the Eyelet,
and in one operation clinches the Eyelet on both
sides.
Ii saves time, as the papers, ire., need not be
reversed or turned over to clinch the Eyelet a
second time, as is the ca?e with all other ma
chine#.
It is useful to the merchant in filing away
papers, as well as to the attorney or conveyancer,
the shomaker, tailor, miliner, and numerous
others, and is a very labor-saving machine.

WOOD GAS CAUTION*
Bll It known that I, the subscriber ob
tained teller* patent in December, lt>51; lor
an apparatus lor the destructive distillation ol
wood, and the making therefrom of tar or pitch at
pleasure, and j and that in the judgment ol
competent persona the invention of an appar
tus recently patented l>y W. D. Porter cannot be
used by him or any other person wituout infring
ing iuv said patent. And, lurther, that what is
patented by said Porter rightfully belong* to me,
ax 1 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 1 am now claiming before the United States
Patent Office, ind whjch has been adjudged to he
patentable to the first inventor thereof, and * liieh
said W. D. Porter has formally disclaimed, an ap
pears upon the public records ol said office, ol
which an official copy is hereto annexed, and also
a copy of Ins 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 parties
infringing his patent. 1 ask how this statement
comports with the fact of my patent of December, j
16.01, and how fur the threat can 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 with a
prior patent to Robert Foulis, of Canada, for an
equivalent contrivance. This claim, as given be
low, and in which the perforated diaphragm is the
saving clause, is what Mr. Porter calls securing
(he "exclusive right to making gns from wood."
The-statement carries absurdity on ils front, and
is a libel on the good sense of the Patent Office
If such a claim or right hud been granted, it would
forbid every coal-kiln and charcoal manufactory
? n the country.
The following copies of correspondence and
extracts from the records of the Patent Olfice will
show the true slate of the ease :

woodand whether any such claim was made by
W. D. Porter, under his application for a patent,
which lettrrs 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

however.be unjustifiable to expect me tolnake

"WASHINGTON SliNTINEl,."
I PROPOSE lo publish in the city of Washin#
ton, in September, u political newspaper, un
der the iiiiuie of the WASHINGTON SENT)
NKL.
In lining >*'>, it is proper I should make known
the principle* it will maintain, and the policy it
will advocate.
It will .support cordially aud earnestly the prin
ciplcs of the Democratic party of the United Stat**
it docs not propose to he the organ of any Depart
nient of the Government, except in no far as an in
?lepeudent 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
people by a blind flattery of their rulers. It will
seek public t -pport by the bold avowal of the
sentiments wnich are common to the genuiue
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
l>e (and it will endeavor to deserve the title) the
organ of the Democratic party of United
States.
The Sentinel will maintain, as a fundamental
truth ol that great party, that the States formed the
Union between them by the ratification of the Con
stitiitiou us n compact; by which, also, they created
the Federal Government, -?nd delegated to it,
as their common agent, the powers expressly
specified in it. with an explicit reservation of afl
others to tlie 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 Suites by the siren' ot
their own creation.
The Sentinel will uphold and defend the Union
upon the basis of the rights of th? States?under
the Constitution?and thus by sedulously guarding
the laiter, it will the more effectually strengthen
and perpetuate the former.
With regard to the exercise of the |>owers of the
Fet-ral Government! the Sentinel will take as
the t rinciples of its action, that Congress shall ex
ercis no power which has not been delegated by
the C> nstitution, according to a strict and fair in
terpret tion of its language and spirit; and that it
shall nt seek to attain indirectly an object through
the exei ise of constitutional jnrtrer, for the direct
atlainme t of whi?-h it has no delegation of poiver.
In other words, all powers exercised must be
clearly gra ted. and ail granted powers must be
used for no ?urpose, except such as is clearly in
tended by th Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration of the
Government, the Sentinel will sustain 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 ofjhe people
of the States, by being less ambitious to exercise
power, and more anxious to preserve liberty; and
by lenving to the individual States the manage
mcut of all their domestic concern*?while it con
tents itself with guarding the confederacy from
external violence, and directina: the foreign policy
of the country to the promotion of the common
interests, nud defence of the common rights, and
honor of the States composing it.
The Sentinel will advocate such a progressive
foreign |>olicy 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, upon eat h 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 th? growing sense ot
weakness of some of the nations of the Old World,
and the ambitious restlessness of others, a com
mon motive to colonial extension has developed
self.
Our settled determination tc re|?el interference
from abroad with our domestic concerns, wil
prompt us to avoid it in the affairs of other coun
tries, unlet * by their foreign or colonial policy our
peace should be threatened, our security endan
Kered, or our interests invaded. For when the
selfish interests of other nations prompt a foreign
or colonial policy which infringes upon our rights,
and places in the pathway of our commerc? a
dangerous aud unfriendly rival, such a policy must
be resisted by remonstrance, and, if need be, by
war.
Our foreign policy should, indeed, be defensive,
but to.I>e properly defensive. it must sometimes be
apparently aggreteixie. Our administration should
l?e vigilant, watchful, and energetic. The world
is full of important movements, commercial and
|?oliii'.al, deeply concerning American trade aud
American t>ower. It is time we had an American
foreign policy. We must have it. We cannot
avoid it if we would. We have larger interssts. aud
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
ohiy 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 civilized life, and te
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 in its yet hidden wealth
is at our feet. European trade seeks the great East
through avenues which are at our doora, 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 th* rising power, through the
agency of whose example, and ever widening and
extending, though peaceful influences, the bless
ings of liberty, civilisation, snd 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 ii|*on the high mission to which it is called7
A ini?sion so full of hope, though so laden with
responsibility, wh*-h, il properly 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 hold
and earnest foreign policy, such as the condition Ol
the country demands; but it will advocate it under
the flag of the country?nowhera else. Its foreign
|iolicy must t>e consistent with the spotless honor
and unimpeachable irood 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 whst is right, and submit to nothing that ia
wrong. It must be liberal and magnanimous to
the rights of others, and firm and immoveable in
insisting on its own. It must, in fine, be true to
its own interests, rights, and honor?iLcannot 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 dej
nounce.
To our future brethren of the press we extend
the hand of friendly greeting. The Sentinel is the
rival of no press of its own party?the personal
enemy of none of the other.
The present Democratic Administration has our
I est 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 it
will find the Sentinel its friend and coadjutor.

vative Magazine.? When new sspirauts
lor popular favor are announced, the public have
a right to demand the grounds upon which such
chow of title to their patronage in made. In ac
knowledgment of this, we trace the customs ol
parties in the avowal of principle*; of religious
teds, in the promulgation of creed*; and ot per
tons in all pursuits of life, dependent upon the
public for success, in their preparatory exposition*
of plans and purposes. The custom* thus origin
ating, though sometimes abused, are useful and
proper, and should not be discarded. And when,
in obedience to custom, new plan* are proposed,
tho^e approving ought not to withhold their en
couragement, as too many do, until they see that
success is sure, for their aid may be needed to
secure it. Such a foolish |>olicy as this jeopar
dizes the plan they approve,and hastens it* failure;
it has defeated many important enterprise*, and
has deprived the country of good and useful works.
If a new proposition ol any kind is approved by
the public, the support of those approving is ol
right expected, their approval being solicited only
in the view that their more substantial aid will
not l>? withheld.
BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF TUE
PROPOSED PERIODICAL.
Thz Southes* Coksbkvativz Maoszinz will
occupy grounds but little cultivated by American
magazimsts. It is believed that a field i? open lor
a periodical of a new and, in some respects, a
higher order than has been aimed at in our maga
zine literature. Ip this belief, and with such an
aim, we announce the Southern Conservative
Magazine. ? ?
The new magazine will be natior.al 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 accsptability.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
UNITEt> STATES TIMES,
A Weekly Newspaper to be published In

tendentof the United States Census, intends to
devote himpelf to the control and management ot
the Rkvikw, 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

rary, educational, industrial, and miscellaneous
matters, including digests of the current events ot
the day, home and foreign; the proceedings ot
Congress and the acts of the Government; lite
rary and scientific fetches and essays upon
leading and popular topics; biographical sketches
of public men ; d'gest of official reports. State and

ar*ge 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

management and a arge and well selected cor
respondence, to establish at the seat of govern
ment a Family Newspaper which shall be adapted
to the wanta of every community; imparting
musement and information, and political, only to
the extent of maintaining the institutions of the
country and defending the rights and sovereignty
of the States.
The City of Washington, from the advantages
which it presents for obtaining material of every
kind, through the action of the Smithsonian Insti
tution, the Patent Office, and the National Agri
cultural Convention, etc., and the several Bureaus
and Departments of Government, from its conti
guity to the large commercial cities, from the ex
tended, exciting, and all important interests that
concentrate upon it, is, perhaps, the most eligible
location for such a journal, and ample guarantees
of its success have already been received. It will
be printed in folio for the convenience of binding,
and similar in style to the New York Albion.

editorial assistance and an able corps of contribu
iors.
A month!*' istorical digest of eventa will be
embraced in /ta pages, valuable for future refer
ence.

AgrUnlimrt, another of that relating to Manufae
turtx; a third ?o Interna* Improx+mrnt* ; a fourth

These publications will be but departments of the
