THE TRUE ISSUE

Whatever hope may have heretofore existed fo-
a construction Of the old Union, is now gone
forever. Our readers may rely upon it, that the
seeding States will never return to it, nor will
they, we believe and hope, ever entertain propo-
stion for confederation between slave States and
free States. All past history of our country
teaches that such Union cannot exist in peace,
and up to the present hour proof continues to ac-
cumulatc on proof that such is the fact
The idea of Central Confederacy, composed Of
the border States, on either side Of the line, is,
therefore, foolish proposition "a matter merely
of mOonshine
he true issue in North Carolina, and which
ought to be submitted to the people without misti-
hcat0n or misl representation, is: In which Con-
icderacy will you place yourselves! You must
either take stand on the side of the old States
under Black Republican rule, or the side of the
Southern Contederacy, which has aims and objects
and sympathes in unison with your On one
hand you link your destiny with people who have
made war against the institution Of Slavery and
declared for its eXterm;nation. And not only this,
you will remain in cial communion with people
who have ever misunderstood, misrepresented and
despised you; who have caused political power
to operate against your interest, to the enhance
ment of their own.
On the other hand you 90 with people whose
sympathies, interests and honor congenial with
the long cherished habits of yourselves and your
ancestors. Whose best emotions are your own;
whose social condition is in all respects similar
is it a matter which you can longer pause?
Some tell you ofthe preservation of the "Union -
There is no Union, and to ground the action of a
political party on such premises is gross misrep-
esentation.- Goidsboro Tribune.

CONSANGUINEOUS MARRIAGES

A COMMITTEE of the New York Sanitary As
ISOLATION has for some time been engaged In an
investigation of the Physical and Moral Influence
of the Interlnarriage of Blood Relations and judg-
ing from the character of their report, read at the
last meeting of the Association, it may be noped
that the public mind will soon be aroused TO the
grave considerations connected with this vitality
important subject. PROF. MORRIS, the Chairman
of that Committee, has long enjoyed peculiar op-
portunites for the practical study OF certain ply
sologcaI questions connected with this subject as
illustrated in the Deaf Mute Institution at Fan
wood, where it is found that very large proper
ton of the applicants the offspring OF blood
relations. His personal investigations are entirely
corroborative of the deductions and statistics OF
DR.. BEMIss Of Louisville, contained IN that
genlemans report to the American Medical AS
ISOLATION in 1888
PROF. MoRRIs states that there were in the in
stution at Fanwood at the close of the last year,
303 pupils, and that A, or fourteen and Il half
per- cent, of these were the offspring of consaRgui
neous marriages. The latter class of children
were from thirty families in which there had
been one hundred and sixty-fve births a large
proportion of the whole number died young, and
many besides the deaf-mn were ascertaincd to
be defective. 1t is also stated that seventyfve
deafmute pupils had been received at Fanwood
from thrty-sx families.
the proportion of deaf-mutes among the offspring
Of consanguneous marriages is not half as large as
that Of the dotc in such families "a calamity
more deplorabe than deafdunbness. In addition
to this learn from the statistics, that the
number of cases of congental blindness in the
families nearly equaled the number of mutes,
while scrofuous and other deformties make up an
unsightly aggregate of congenitally defective in
divduals amounting to nearly tre"tymi"e per
cent Of all the children in such families. The fol-
lowing summary Of these statistics as presented in
Prof Morrs's report, conveys kind Of practical
instruction which every family physician should

We need not comment upon such statistics
though these figures convey bat an imperfect idea
Of the inevitable physical evils that result from

mind which often meet with, are associate d

Physicians and phiIanthropiss of every class will
do good service for human welfare by forwarding
to Prof. o. w Morris, the Secretary of the
n. \. Sanitary Association, any facts that may
come to their knowledge respecting the defective
offspring of consanguineous marriages. Instances
like the following continually brought to notice
in the public prints:
There is in this city, says the Schenectady
STAR very estinabe married couple, who have
had eleven children, six of whom were born blind
the youngest is blind, and only few. weeks old
When Of sufficient age, they are sent to the Asv-
lum for the Blind in New York They are said
to be possessed Of fine talents. We understand
that their parents are cousins. There is no defect
in the eyes Of either parent
Let medical nqurers ascertain all the facts re-
lating TO such cases, and for the purposes Of
scientific and public utility transmit accurate re-
cords of the same to the Sanitary Association's
Committee in this city.
