We notice an article in the Gazette 0 Monday, headed ''PoIlTIoAL PEnsEoUTIoN, in relation to Mr. WM. E. WOODRUFF, Post Master at this place. We have not room to give 10 this article that attention which we think the importance of the subject demands from us-and shall, therefore, quote the ar ticle in part, with a single comment sf or no man in the State has toiled so long and so faithfully for the success of Democratic measures, or contributed more to the elega- ton of the very men who now represent Us in the councils of the nation." 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. Will the Gazette favor us with an explana- tion;
