ED. BANNER:
 SIR-Scme time since saw in the Democrat. an inquiry, asking me, if there was a respectable majority of the voters of Randolph and Green eoun- ties to ask 10 resign my seat in the Senate if would comply with their reqdest:
 should have answered the question sooner, but was in the soath at the time, and knew nothing about the matter aatil my return After my arrival home, was taken i'll. and have been at least half the tame since then, in my bed, sick. The inquiry is over the signature of many vote,s, though my opinion is, there but two persons who ever saw i, until it weat to the press. have this proposition 10 make as regards my resignation: 1T any gentle man. or any number of them, will give me notice when they iatead applying to the voters to sign a petition. will accompany them from precinct to pre- eiae giving the people notice of the time and place. They also can have clerk 10 write down every man name who is in favor of such petition. Having il all done in my presence. fthere is one more ia number to the petition, than voted for me. sill most eheeIfuly resign. Or, if there is majority of oae, of the whole vote cast in the Senatorial elee- tioa, between myself and Col. William Black. will willingly resign. My reasons for making this pto- post on is simply thisl am well apprised of those men who work under the curtain. My own plan is to take open day wilh an uneioudrd sun. l have no secret workings of corruption to perform, con- sequently the writer of the inquiry will koow where 10 ind me. II, l.. EVANS.
 N. B. The request was for me to answer through the Democrat. For reasons known to myself. 1 ask the Banner io publish my reply, and i: the editor o the Democrat wishes to pablish i, in his coumos, l am perfectly willing. HUE.

Set your heart on God himself Stop at nothing short ot His throne. Nothing is higher than man but God, and nothing mnsl come between you and Him. Neither the priest nor the church, nor the sacrament. nor the shibboleihs of synods, nor the cannons of council. nor the sub.ities of sehoolmen, must arrest or interrupt you in your upward flight The church. the sacrament, the cere- mony, must he your siepping-stones, not youi resting places to enable you to see God IS, not cold ieicle memorials of God WAS. The throne alone is the resting place of your soul, and the message of God is the summons that bids you soar till you reach ii, and stand and sing among the seraphim.

SINGULAR DEvELoPE EMESTs-BuTT TRUE. "A writer in Cisi's .9dcertiser, in giving sketches of the .'First Settlement of Ohio,' states what has long been believed, that Burr and his aecomplices, on their trial in Virginia, were acquitted. Such Is not the case. Ano- ther writer in that valuable paper states the facts to be as follows, which are strictly true. He says:
 ~Now, by referring to the records of the Circuit Cour, of the United State for Vlr- giaia, he will find that Burr and his accom- piices were not acquitted; the Court de- cided, on motion of counsel, that they had not committed an overt act within the iuris- dic;ion of Virginia, and ordered that they should give bond to appear before the Cir euii Court of the United States for Ohio. The Grand Jury in Ohio found bills, but there was singular omission in the bond; al- though it required them to appear before the Circuit Court in 0aio, 4 did not specify rAen. Availiag themselves of this omssion, they did not appear, and tl.e case has not yet been tried, as will be found by an ex- animation of the records"
