Not for himmlf, alone proclaims admit:4lva,
But for his train; it was his Royal will,
That where He is, there should his followers be.
It will be observed, that on this Mount are three pin-
nacles. On the centre one our Loan took his place.
There is a chapel, denominated " The Ascension," of an
octagon form, with a cupola supported by eight columns of
marble.

In this place on a rock or stone, is the impression of the
left foot (Zachariah 14 ; 4 Eze. 8,4, 11, 23.) or sandal of
a man ten inches in length, and four in breadth, represented
as that of our Saviour, left on his ascension to [leaven, and
it is devoutly saluted by pilgrims. It would appear then.
that he stood with his left hand towardsJert.salem, a most ap-
palling sign, and that his face was ditectvd towards the
north. Kivetted to the spot on this sublime elevation, and
having a clear and distinct view of the whole of Jerusalem
like a map under my feet, with Mount Zion, and perceiving
the full accomplishment of props ecy, by the plough being
at work, and also the fatal hid of Calvary, where the
blood-stained banner was planted, the words of the banished
Disciple came most forcibly to my recollection (Zachariah,
14. 4. Ex. 8. 4. 11.23. liev. 21. 10.)
No person in the slightest degree acqiciiutvd e it:a the
Word of Gun, can stand on this emiinianditig height with-
out perceiving the boundless field which opens for contem-
plating that wisdom and goodness of the Omnipotent CRE-
ATOR of all things; the infinite variety of stupendous and
most miraculous events which occurred on this chosen part
of the earth, miring past ages, demonstrative of his power,
and marked as the scat of the redemption of the human race.
Besides, the top of this mountain is the very spot where He
who walked on the wings of the wind, yet who condescended
to wear the habiliments of mottality, and to sojourn in this
world, was victorious over death and the grave. Such con-
siderations then are most strikingly calculated to stamp
deeply on the soul feelings of profound veneration. It was
also on this sacred elevation our LORD sat, and in part of
the temple, when certain of his disciples conversed with him
as to those signs and calamities which should precede the
destruction of what he had foretold; and it is to this parti-
cular mountain he alludes, and points out to his.disciples
in a memorable discourse on faith in GOD, saying to it,
" Remove hence to yonder place;" (Mat. xxiv. 1-3, Mark
xiii. 3.4, Luke x. 43-44, 1 These. v. 1-2.) a proverbial ex-
pression for accomplishing any thing attended with great
difficulty. (Mat. xvii. 20, Ja. xxvi 21.)—Rae Wilson's
Travels in the Holy Land, just published, dedicated by
permission to the King.
as

What would be thought of any man who should assume
the name of Judas Iscariot, or of any party who should de-
nominate themselves Iscariotists ? And what ought we to
think of the party in Scotland who take a pride in terming
themselves Tories ? In England, indeed, the term Tory
has reference to a very different party, and to persons of
very different disposition from the Scotish Tories. Doctor
Johnson, the great apostle of Toryism in England, said that
a moderate Tory and moderate Whig were much the same
in character, and he had some reason for saying so; for,
during the reign of Toryism under Charles IL 'and James
11. the moderate English Tories acted as chgeks against
the tyranny then prevalent; and when James IL openly
abrogated the laws, the English Tories joined the Whigs in
effecting the revolution of 1688. But no Scotish Tory was
ever known to be opposed to any act of tyranny. During
the reigns of Charles 11. and James 11. the Scotish Tories
(twisted by the reneged° Lauderdale) abolished even the
semblance of law and justice in Scotland, and made the
whole country one scene of plunder, confiscation, torture, and
bloodshed, by executioners and by the soldiery: The Scotish
Tory families enriched themselves by fines extorted from
the people, and by the confiscated estates of the friends of
liberty, and celebrated their triumphs over the Whigs by
garuibhing the market-places of all the chief towns in Scot-
land (particularly Glasgow) with the sacred heeds and limbs
of the best and most virtuous and excellent of the Scotish
noblemen, gentlemen, clergy, and citizens. This was the
golden age of Toryism, and particularly of Scotch Tories.
Not a single Scotch Tory joined the Whigs in promoting
the revolution. Whilst the English Bishops, for petitioning
against the arbitrary measures of the Court, were impri-
soned in the Tower of London, the Scotch Tories were en-
couraging and supporting King James in his career of
tyranny; and the Scotch Bishops, in a public address, prayed
that Gni° would give the King the ntckb of his enemies,
