A Suggestion.

One OF our correspondents 10 tho coun
try, calls on Mr.. Hampson to answer in.
terrogatOries in relation to important
matters of STATE policy. Nov, we beg
leave to suggest to our correspondent,
and to our readers generally, that hsS
object can be- attained much more salts
factorily by public discussion, than by
newspaper essays. Mr. HampSon, it is
we'll known, cannot write any thing 1T
for tho public eye, unlesO, like his friend
Mr. Tolan, no procure0 come one or two
others, to aid him ia the composition,
But he can talk, and is a great mimic
withal, We, therefore, suggest that
Mr.. llampson and Mr.. Eckley go loge
thor before the people, aud make known
their opinions And, wo haye no doubt,
that Esq Harsh and Mr.. Tolan would
gel along in this way with more salts
faction both to the people and TO them
selves In short, weHre authorized and
requested by several voters TO make
this suggestion Lot it be met fairly
and hOnOrsbly, without any back our
about il! Surely, no man would desire
10 steal into the Legislature, totally des.
titule of qualifications, and conscious
thathe must not only disgrace himself,
but his constituents also.

THE VAN ZANDT CASE.

Judge Mclean yesterday read the
opinion of the Court granting lhe defen-
dant new trial, upon the payment Of
the costs The defendant declines ac-
cepIing new trial on those terms. A
motion IN arrest Of Judgment had also
been iIOd; and the two motions we're
argued aud considered together; hence
ihe refusal TO accept tho new trial upon
tho payment Of the costs In case of a
new trial, tao plaInDli might have leave
10 amend his declaration, and so cut of
another motion u arrest. BY refusing
the now trial, The defendant seeks Ia
throw the plaintiff at once on 10 defec-
tive declaration, upon which the Court
cannot give Judgment Ia that way Ih0
plaintiff mlght be defeated.
The Court has certified that tho
judges are divided in opinion upon the
mouon in arrest; aud also on like mo
uou in the suit for the penalty. THIS
takes both cases 10 tho Supreme Court.
