MARI OF CARLIsLEs DIARY.

EARL OF CARLISLE's DIARY
IL Diary of Turkish and Greek Writers, by the
Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle edited by O. G.
FELTON,, Greek Professor in Harvard University.
The noble Earl is well and favorably known in
this country, having travelled here while he bore
the title of Lord Morpeth, and his work will be
read with great interest by all who have devoted
any attention TO the mighty events which are now
taking place in the Eastern World. The period
embraced in his journal is one of deep signif-
caDce, being at the very commencement OF hos
tilities, and the persons introduced have since
played eminent parts in this terrible historical
tragedy. Professor FELTON, has added full and CO.
pious notes TO the American edition, and the work
is beautifully illustrated. Ii will hereafter be re-
garded as a valuable, historical record of this in
eresting period.

constitution of cur country, and the constitu- tions of the individual States, why is it that so many thousands have withdrawn from those lodges! If the principles advanced by the native American party are not fraught with danger to American liberty and independence and especially to southern rights and insti- tutions, why is 1t that every southern State in the Union has rejected the Know Nothing ticket by the largest majorities ever recorded in the annals of elections? Every southern State where the Know Nothing ticket prevailed but one short year ago, having discovered in it an- other abolition clap-trap to divide southerners in sentiment, and consequently to divest them of their rights and privileges, have discarded the Know Nothing ticket by unheard of majo- rites, and have hurled its obsequious advocates to such profound depths ofdsgrace and infamy, that nothing less than the power of Omnipo- tence can ever politically resurrect them. The Know Nothing ticket having been rejected every where but among the abolition States of the north 1t remains to be seen, whether the citizens of Arkansas will display less political sagacity than those of Virginia North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Ten nessee, etc, or whether they will suffer them selves to be disgraced by being drenched with the nauscating and disgusting Yankee abolition draught of Know Nottingham, which even thousands of patriotic whigs with all of their predilections and fondness for party could not be prevailed on to swallow.

''ctv,l and religious hbe,ty."

''civl and religious hbe,ty"
 To enter into this question at length, would be work of supererrogation, as every one seems to be we'll posted in the designs of the opponents of the democracy at the present time. To get the reign of government is there present desire, but what they would effect after that, is an important matter, of which the people have yet to be informed.
 They say, 1 mean these Know Nothings, that naturalized citizens, and native citizens of the Catholic faith, ought not and shall not hold any of the offices of the government Will they enact. laws in accordance with this princi- pie when they get into power? They must if they act consistently with their political princi- pies. But the constitution, that bulwork of our liberties, stares them in the face. "No reli- gious test shall ever be required republication to any office or public trust under the United States" How is this plain language to be over- co me? The constitution must be amended,- In attacking this fundamental principle of lib- erty, so plainly engrafted in the constitution,
  ing p,.rty places itself in the attitude of revo- luton:sts. They wish to subvert our present form ol government, at least one of its leading features, and to establish another to suit their own peculiar notions Only native citizens, of Protes tant denominations of christians are ca pablo of holding office. The Catholic cannot be trusted, he might turn traitor to his country, and perchance hand the people of America over to the domi nion of the Pope. This is the ridi- culous conclusion to be drawn from the prin- cple they ad vocate Will the democracy of the country, and those thrice noble old-line whigs, listen o such nauseous vaporings of fam cy? No their way is clear, their course is on- ward, and they will march, keeping time to the music of the Union," and not to the dis cordant braw lings of fanaticism, and they will be guided by the great light of the constitu- ton, and not notice that false light by the way side held out to them by designing men, to lead them into the mire of political ruin.
 As I cannot be with you on the Sth of Ja- nuary, day ever to be remembered with pride by every American citizen, I will give you a sentiment, to which you can earnestly respond in appreciation.
 Civa and religious hberty the priceless chap let that encircles the brow of American free. dom, its leaves are plucked only from American soil.
 I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your friend and servant,

Democratic Meeting in Drew Co.

Monticello Ark an. 9th, 1856.
 MT. EDITOR OF TRUE DEMoCRAT:-Accord- ing to previous notice, our union mass meeting came off on yesterda ay. The weather was un- commonly cold, and consequently none of our speakers from distance were present; but Notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, .the hills and valleys of Drew seemed to discharge their entire population, and send them out to witness the proceedings of the day At an early hour in the morning eight guns were fired in honor of Old Hickory and. his brave sol diers; and as the sound died away in the dis tance they seemed to rcverberate the death knel of Sam.
 About 10 o'clock, the democracy joined in procession on horseback, headed by richly de- corated banner with the following imposing in- scription on it. "The constitution as it is, and southern rights and republican principles" The procession marched to the Male Academy when w. F. Semons, esq, delivered speech which did him much honor and the cause much good.
 After MT. Slemons closed amid the shouts and cheers of applause from the large concourse of people present, procession was formed to the dinner table, where most excellent dinner Iwas prepared for all.
 It was amusing to stand around and hear the Conversation, and observe the enthusiasm of the crowd, among whom were several old sol diers of the war of 1872, and whilst looking up at the flag that foated far up in the breeze, orc was heard to exclaim, " 1 have fought for my country under yon flag and still the damned :. Know Nothings call me an anti-American." After dinner, the crowd again assembled at the academy, when Gen. Hemingway, late of Mississippi, but now a citizen of this county, addressed the people. His speech was admired for its eloquence and liberalty; and especially did he bring forth long and hearty cheers, when he spoke of the prowess of the Arkansas volunteers (and especially of Col. YelD in the Mexican war. May the General prove as suc- ceSsful an advocate of democracy in Arkansas, as he has heretofore been in Mississippi.
 Our mass meeting closed with a pleasant party in the evening, where the young and gay joined in chasing the hours with flying feet"
 You may set Drew down as democratic by a large majority, notwithstanding the Know Nothing boastng to the contrary.
 The democracy of this county, also feel a deep abiding interest in Gov. Conway's admin stration; they endorse it heartily, and appear to think no man has filled the executive seat with more dignity and recttude than be- May he live long to enjoy the fruits of his labor and see the young and prosperous State of Arkan- sas flourish under his wholesome policy.

A BABY ELEPHANT-The editor of the New York Sunday Times has seen the baby elephant that was born recently in that city, and gives a very pretty account of the little creature:
 "These baby elephants are very interesting objects. They are perfectly formed through out and differ from their parents only in size; but that difference is SO amazing that it becomes ludicrous; and when you see the baby walk ing to and fro under its mother you cannot re- sist the impulse to laugh at the oddity of the comparison And then the bulky mothers care of her haby is So human-like and affectionate. Give the baby an apple, for instance. The mo- ther first takes it in her trunk, examines it close- ly, and then returns it to her infant to eat in. ocuously. And so with everything else"
