There is no occasion in which per sonal responsibility is not present, controlling thought and influencing action. It cannot be escaped, nor ein it be over estimated. As a creature, man ia responsible bis life its influence upon bis own destiny and upon the happiness of Others. God's commands cannot bo disregarded without provoking the righteousjjudgmentsof the Most High. "The soul that sinneth it shall die," is the stern declaration . of thn innnirfld wnrd. Man is held personally respon sible by civil governments and in the courts of the country. "Ihe way of the transgressor is hard." Bnt man's personal responsibility to the society in which he moves, and to the community in which helives.is scarcely less than it is to . the divine law or to the authority of the State. There can be no community of citizenship without community of obligation. He who enjoys, the protection of a muni " clpality is committed to the defense '. and upbuilding of that municipali ty. If man was not a social being it might be different, but the con ditions of society make individuals constituent elements of one body, and each member responsible for the proper regulation of the whole. Will a contemplated railroad benefit a community T If so, then good citizenship demands its advo cacy and support. In ninety-nine cases in a hundred that which benefits a community will benefit individual members of that com munity; but should the public interest clash with the interest of a citizen private interest must yield, to the general welfare. This rule is universal, and without it society cannot exist. SENATOR TANCE AND THE FAR MERS. The people of North Carolina are not-only proud of Senator Vance, bat they love him.. No public man shows more interest in the affairs of his constituents than does our peerless Vance. It affords us pleasure to transfer to onr columns the following from the excellent Charlotte Chronicle. " 'Senator Vance was invited to attend the banquet in Ealeigh last week in honor of Col. L. L. Polk. The Senator's duties at the Nation al, Capitol, would not allow of his absenting himself to reach Ealeigh, and retnrn: but the Senator sent a letter, In which he emphasizes his position in favor of the farmers' movement to frustrate the move; meat of capital for protection etOvlhe injury of agricultural in terests. Senator Vance has long been an ' aggre88iTe defender oi the agricul tural interests against the selfish Mgtrandizlng encroachments of capital; and bis constituents in North Carolina, in every walk of life, (for here every one is; more or - css directly interested fn the pros , , jefltyV'of " the farmer) will take t asara in reading the Senator's, etter which is given herewith in , foil: ' .

" ' . nAB AN V hlnh wua na , . t UaI - marks another and most important step in the matter which I have so long had at heart the organization of the great, and heretofore helpless and unprotected agricultural in terests, for their protection against the monopolistic tendencies oi the times. That this great day ot re- lief is coming I do not donbt; and tnat. itl arrirol U to h hatnA1 in ----- -u w " v v so prominent a degree by onr own State, and through one of its hon ored sons, is a matter of lively con gratulation to us all. Qod speed the time when tbo Uws-of onr country shall cease to dif 'riuiiuate against one class of our citizens to benefit another, and when true statesmauship shall c . usist iu the establishing and maintaining that absolute equality for all men and classes which is the veiy essence of liberty. - With sincere good w islus for all who may be concerned, 1 am, very respectfully j ours. Z. B. Vance. MERCHANTS There is a disposition to ciiti cise merchants and place on them the blame for the pivstnt condition of affairs. That the majority of me.nrti.niis . aie honorable, high miaiUl men goes without saying, and ve:y many of thetn arc nature's uobli-n.eu. We take pleasure in tranMe. ring to our columns the following liuin (lie Wilmington Messenger: "The Messenger is very much de lighted tit the course pursued by the merchants of Scotinud Neck, and yet there should be uo surprise. They are enterprising, intelligent and Christian, and they have a full shareof the milk of human kind ness. But their conduct is none the less noble, and should be close ly copied in this timo of trial and destitution by the philanthropic and good people in all the counties. The resolutions adopted show forth an intelligent and noble nature. They amongother things declare : 'That the situatiou demandj the strictest economy aud exercise of prudence and wisdom upou the part of all, and absolute candor and fair dealing between debtor and credi tor. 'That we can and will aid all of our customers and patrons the com ing year as we have done in the past, and we promise that we will make sacrifices for them, knowing that they will measure their de mands upon us by their necessities.' "Actuated and controlled by such impulses and sentiments they de serve to receive the praise of all men, and they will receive, we may not donbt, the smile of Heaven for what they shall do." "The drying up a single tear hag more Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore." The Importance of purifying the blood can not be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health.
