TAKEN HIS PosIr1oN.-We see, says the
Marysville Express, by the Black Republican
Sentinel, Of Sacramento, that Col, J. G. Ia
briskie and Ed Stanly, were to have a
meeting in the Forest Theatre, last evening
We arc sincerely 1ejoiced at this. Col. Ia
briskie has been dead weight to the demo
cratic party for some years, as he was known
to entertain views Numerically at war with
every shade of Democratic principle. When
such men remain, nominally in our ranks,
they injure us a party; when they leave us,
they confer upon us the greatest favor in
their power.

RErURNED.-Mr. Stanly has returned to
the city after successful electioneerng tour
in behalf of Col. Weller. Our exchanges esti-
mates that he has gained many thousand
votes for that gentleman by circulating the
Musical Hall speech in the interior. 1t has
been suggested, that Mr.. Stanly might have
saved himself personal annoyance and fatigue
had he sent his address in pamphlet form
Ye: much of the effect would have been
spoiled, and we think Mr.. Stanlv displayed
more zeal for the Democratic cause by deliv-
lug it i'll person. 1t has been suggested that
Mr.. Stanly could not but have felt assured
of his own defeat from the moment Of his
nomination, he is not SO much entitled to
credit for his persevering efforts 'in the open
air. in favor of his opponent. We think
the suggestion an unkind and unchristian
ones. f. GLOBE

ADMITTING THE PRINCIPLE AT LAsT.--lt is
stated that Lord Clarendon has written a
note, rejecting the claims of English subjects
for protection, after they have become nat
uraized citizens cf the United States. The
war of lsI2 was mainly caused by impress
ing naturalized English men from our mer
chant men into the British service. The
fight between the Leopard and Chesapeake
was caused by this very subject--the British
Government maintaining that subject
could never expatrate himself.
