A True HERo.-Heroes are not confined
to the profession of arms. Scarcely dis
aster occurs on steamboat or ship at sea,
which does not exhibit on act Of noble dar.
ing in some quiet citizen who has never
dreamed Of achieving fame by any act OF
daring. The following is an example =
John Maynard was pilot on steamer
from Detroit to Buffalo. One summer Of
ternoon smoke was seen ascending from be-
low, and the captain called out, "Samp-
son, 60 down and see what that smoke is. Z"
Sampson came up with his face pale as
ashes, "Captain, the ship is ou fire l"-
Then, "Firel freI frel on ship board p
All hands were called up. Buckets Of
water dashed upon the FIRE, but in vain.
Passengers and crew, men, women and
children crowded the forward part of the
ship John Maynard stood at the helm.
The flames burst forth in sheet Of FIRE I;
clouds of smoke arose the captain cried
out through his trumpet, John Maynard"
" Aye, aye, sir p How does she head?"
" Southeast-by-east, sir" Head her
southeast and run her on shore" Again
the captain cried out, John Maynard p
The response came feebly, AYE, aye, STRIP
" Can you hold out Eve minutes longer,
John Z" by Gods help 1 will |" The
old mans hair was scorched from the
scalp; one hand disabled, his knee upon
the stanchion, and bis teeth set, with his
other hand upon the wheel, he stood firm
as a rock. He beached the ship-every
man woman aud child was saved as John
Maynard dropped, and his spirit took its
fight to God.

Have the people of Territory the
right to regulate their domestic rela-
tions in their own way when they
form a State Constitution?
On this question there is no differ
encc of opinion among the various
political parties. The Republicans
have never taken issue with the Demo-
Gratis upon this right of the people
when forming State Constitution.
1t is previous to this t;me-while in a
Territorial capacity--thst Republicans
say Congress has right to intervene
and prohibit slavery.
If to form and regulate the domes-
tic relations after forming State
Constitution, a. declared in the Gin
cinnati platform. is Popular Sow
ereienty, then there never has been an
issue between the parties on that sub
iect. And | am aware that nine tenths
of the Democrats have direct reference
to that time. The fewest number Of
the Democrats believe that the peo-
pie of a Territory before framing q
State Constitution have the right tc
legislate on the subject of slavery.
1t is true that Judge Douglas die
once say that the people of Territory
might prevent and expel slavery from
Territory by unfriendly legislation
but he has since repudiated that doc
trinc. In his speech at New Orleans
he said. that the slave. holder had {
right to emigrate to any of the Terri
tories, and take with him his slave,
and hold them by the same law tina
man from Indiana takeshis horses ca
tie, and merchandise into the Territor,

and hold them there. If this position
of Judge Douglas is correct, then what
becomes of the doctrine of sqnattel
sovereignty. the right of the people &c
regulate the slavery question for them
selves? for ] presume that no Terri
torial Legislature possesses the power
to pass any law confscating private
property. without compensating tn,

have not for some time reported their
proceedings.
At our last regular meeting but one,
we expected Mr.. John B. Goodrich to
address us, but he was detained at
home by illness in his family. and sent
Enos l.. Watson. Esq, in his stead
Mr.. Watson devoted short time TO
the consideration OF the causes which
led to the disruption of the Dem
ocratic party; and made speech em.
bodying much valuable information,
and highly acceptable to the Club
After a vote Of thanks to the speaker
and renewing our invitation TO Mr..
Goodrich, adjourned to meet in two
weeks.
Accordingly. on Thursday evening,
July Goth. the Club again convened.
The President being sick, Vice res I
Shinn took the chair
Z. Flood introduced the following
resolutions, and after some remarks,
moved their adoption:
Resolved. That modern Democracy
whether expounded by Buchanan,
Breckenridge. or Douglas. is synony-
nous with devotion to Slavery.
Resolved, That we challenge any
Democrat to discuss the proposition
contained in the above resolution; and
that we pledge ourselves to give re-
spectful hearing. at any regular meet
ing of our Club, to any one accepting
this challenge.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and now we do hope that
Judge Brown, or Jere Smith. or some
of the oracles of the Democracy will
come down and plead their cause be-
fore US.

ing were chosen:-President, j. O
