STRAINING AT A GATE AND SWALLOWING A SAW
MmL.-President Polk has ordered scientific ex-
ploration Of the Dead Sea- four thousand miles of,
in the continent of Asia, not within the limits of
the United States, but certainly within the boun-
dary lines of the Resolutions of '9S. Our Presi-
dent denies the constitutionality of appropriations
for improving the harbors and rivers of our own
country, to promote its commerce and preserve the
lives Of its citizens, and accordingly veoes bills
passed by Congress for such objects but lie has
plenty of power, as the ErecutiUe Of this nation,
to explore the waters of other countries. gov
ernment ship has been sent to the Mediterranean to
further this object The exploring party will be
landed in Palestine, and proceed overland TO the
Dead Sea. The sarcasm upon the strict-construc-


onists implied in ordering this extraordinary ex-
poraton, is bitter than the waters of the famed
lake. Cincinnati atlas.
