In short, the only rule., upon which an
honorable whig can support Gen. Tayjor,
is the rule of, contradiction., : They must
construe their candidate as, we are told to
interpret bad dreams, by onposites. ,
Ihey claim to be wines, and they sup-
port Uen., 1 ayior because He u not an ultra
whig, that is, not. enough of a whig to hurt
him. -' So the less whigery he has, the bet
ter he is for the whigs.
They are opposed to the. land indemnity
from Mexico, and go for Taylor because 'he
was in favor of taking seven of her pro vin
ces, up to the line of the Sierra Madret
I see, his letter to uen. Gaines.l . : , ,
They denounce the Mexican war as a
"God abhored war, and all engaged in it
as partakers in the-enme, and they support
Taylor because he has killed and captured
more ; Mexicans than any other oi . the
"criminals" engaged in that war. , ,
' ihey are the mends of peace and alraid
of another wai if Gen. Cass is elected,
who has been a friend of 'peace for thirty
odd years, and therefore they go for Taylor
because he has been like Gcliah of Gath,
"a man of warfrom his youth up! ' '
i bey insist upon liavuig a nortliem can
didate to humble the south, and are oppos
ed to a "northern man with southern prin
ciples:" aod therefore they take a southern
man with no principles at all. : .
lney firmly believe that the salvation ol

saw it when our Saviour said ta it; -Pce,

held it. .,. : ... ii , ! til . -i ! i -i T
The navigation of the Jordan was found
to be most difficult and dangerous from its
frequent and fearful rapids'.' Lt. Lynch
solves the secret of the depression between
lake Tiberias and the dead Sea by the tor
tuous, course of the Jordan, which, in a
distance of sixty miles, winds throngh a
course of two hundred miles.. Within this
distance Lt. Lynch and his party plunged
down no less than twenty-seven threaten
ing rapids; besides many others of less de
scent. The difference of level between
the two seas is over a thousand feet.
The water of the Jordan was sweet to
within a few hundred yards of its mouth.
The waters of the sea were devoid of smell
but bitter, salt and nauseous. Upon en
tering it, tlie boats were encountered by a
gale, and 'it seemed as if the bows, so dense
was the water, were encountering the
sledge hammers of the Titans instead of
the opposing waves of an angry sea."
Ihe party proceeded until thev reached
the southern extremity of the sea, ; where
the most wonderful sight that they had yat
seen awaited them. ', .
In passing the mountain of Uzdom ( Sod
om ) we unexpectedly, and much to our as
tonishment, says Lieut. Lynch, saw a large
rounded, turret-shaped column, facing
south east, which proved to be of solid
rock sal, capped with ; carbynate of line,
one mass of crystaiizauon.
The party circumnavigated the lake, and
returned to their place of departure.
1 he bottom of the northern half of this
is almost an entire plain. ' ' ' '
the deepest soundings thus far are 188
fathoms, ( 1,128 feet.) Near the shore the
bottom is generally an incrustation of salt,
Ihe southern half ;of the sea is shallow
as the northern one is deep, and for. about
one fourth of its entire length the depth
does not exceed three fathoms, (18 feet.)
Its southern bed has presented no crystals,
but the shores are lined with incrustations
of salt, and when we landed at Uzdom, in
the space of an hour, our footprints were
coated with crystalization.' "
The opposit shores of the' peninsula, ' and
the west coast present evident marks of
disruption.
There are unnuestionablv birds and in
sects upon the shores, and ducks are some
times upon the sea, for we have seen them
but canpot detect any living thiBg within
it. l teel sure that the refulUof this sur
vey will fully sustain the scriptural account
of the cites of the plain.,:
.The Jordan, although rapid and, impet
uous, is graceful in its winds, and fringed
with luxuriance, while its waters are sweet,
clear cool and refreshing. , . -. - , :
They found the summit of the west bank
of the Dead Sea more than .1,000 feet above
its surface,1 and very, nearly on a level
with tlie Mediterranean,
The bottom uf the Dead Sea forms two
submerged plains, an elevated and a de
pressed one. The first, ' its southern part,
of slimy mud covered by a shallow bay; the
last, its northern & largest portion, of mud
and incrustations and rectangular, crystals
ot salt. , . .
The slimy ooze,' says Lieut.' Maury,
upon that plain, at the bottom of the Dead
sea, will not fail to remind the saered lusto
rianof the slime 'pits,' in the vail, where
were joined in battle, four kings with five.'
