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.
