How does the editor of the Gazette reconcile this para esaph with the act of Mr. Woodruff, in sell ing to the whig party the only democratic newspaper that was published at the seat oI Government; and al time too when the par ty needed paper us much, or in fact more, than al any former period in our state. since the party lines had been distinctly drawn and the land marks of il definitely established.

MR. EplroR-I learn that quite sir is making in town in relation to the Post Oice-and the pro- babiliy that the Post Master General is about to re- move MT. Woodraf learn, moreover, that Mir. Woodruff is circulating petition to have himself retained in office.
 This state of things has led mo to think about the natter and enquire into the facts, What are they If understand them, they are as follows: Barnett H'iHians was removed upon tho ground of bis being dsflH!tes; aad Mt. Woodruff was supposed to have had much to do in prelerring and sustaining the charge. Itis pretty well understood, also, that Mr. Woodruff had long desired the office hmseE and had Col. Ashey's promise of aid in getting tt, long be- fore anything was heard ol Williams defllcation- Did not Woodruff hold the draft upon the protest oi which Williams was declared a delaulter, and re- moved: l have understood such to be the case, though have no knowledge of the fact Ii it be so, however, it would seem that Woodruff had such a holy horror of detalcaion, that rather than let a deftulter remain in office, be very parioicqlly had him removed, and then very magaamimoa8g took the office himself Itseems to be, now ascertained, that Williams indebtedness the aefalcaiioa which hor- rifed WoodrufI) amounts, only, to some Mirtg or forty dollars.
 But the scene and the parties change It seems that Woodruff has hardly got warm in his nest before some -meddlesome person (Gov. YELL it is said to bel represents to the Post Master General that WOOdrgG himseifis defn!ter and mol for the pal try sum of mifttor forty doliars. Oh no that were below the range of his genius and ambition. But to the aristocratic tune of nearly Four Thousand Dol lars' And upon this charge his removal is deman- ded. We'll if Williams was removed (and justly in Woodru's opinion) for falling short foriy dollars, what should be the fate of Woodruff for falling short one Hundred fines tofy dollars? He very gracefully commended the cup to Williams lips, pro6tted by his removal and then steps bravely and brawy about like the eyecutioner iR dead mans clothes. This

 Sir; enclose one of large packet of let ters or circulars which were received at this office, by the last mail from New Orleans, fer the purpose of obtaining your opinion, whether, or not, 1t ought not 10 be charged with full letter postage, in consequence oI the blanks in t being filled up with writing, My impression is, thata circular, to eniitle il to be charged at the lowest rate of postage, ought to contain no writing whatever, and that the fllingup of the blanks in circular, ough. to subject il 10 the highest rate of postage
 Another question has suggested itself to my mind, on which beg leave to ask your opinion. It is this: the mail is carried on two different routes between this place and Memphis, Tenn, one of them No 5S0l) by land on which the distance Is between l50 and loO miles. though stated in the schedule to be l40 miles.

By the former route the postage on single letter is only .fre cents, while. by the latter, ifcharged according to the distance carried, 1t would be tea cents./ The practice of this office, as well as tho post-oilice al Memphis, has been to charge , cents only on all letters, not exceeding half an ounce, which pass through the mali, on either route.
