INQUIRENDO.

The New York Evening Post may save itself the
trouble of whipping Mr. Webster into the traces OF the
freesoers He certainly is not convinced that he has
made false STEP, will he oppose any policy because
il is supported by Mr. Clay, advocate emporizng
policy because il is supported by the administration.
We have no expectation that Mr.. Webster will refuse
"to connect the admission Of California with bill
ganizing government for the Territories" either be-
cause Mr.. Clay is in favor OF it, General Taylor
may be in opposition to it. II is very much doubted
whether the President has any fixed policy at all and
we could wish Mr. Webster no worse fortune than to be
shifting his often General Taylor appears to
be changing his position. Certain it is that the Pres
dent cannot for want Of good advice from Of his

That article quotes paragraph Of the annexation resolu.

souri, compromise line, shall be admitted into the Union
with without slavery, the people of each State asking
admission may desire.
And then says:
The word may refers to the federal government and
the word Consent Texas. The federal government
'may the States but Texas "conssnt" to

Now, there is nothing which could be more absurd.
