Of the' artielei.which drc set dow'n as com mon to both sectiobs, it is conceded that at least iwo-thirds came from the South; and assuming this to be correct, we find that: last year the North exported pro . ducts to the amount of about $31,350,804 mile the South exported products to the value of $278,873,746. .In other .words, -after . supplying the home markiet, the North was, only able to sell prodncts worth $37,356,864, -while the South after supplying the home market was able to products worth $278,873,746—0r n ear ..-ly eight times as much .-as -the North ! these are simple facts,, easily understood 'by all except those whose minds are in their dotage, and fully dispose of the fal lacious idea that the South is poverty stricken.

Of thei United States that. . Representatives niid direct taxes tiliallbe, apportioned . among the . several'' , States wording to their respective, numbers; Which shall.be determined by adding to the Whole - munber of free persons, excluding JUdians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. The. actual enumeration, iopularly. ealled.tsik ing the census, is directed to be madeLevtry ten -:: years. •-- For. the first Congress, it was provided , thatthe - Representatives should not exceed one for every'thirty ,t housand inhabitants ;. , but that each State, no: matter how small .the population might be, should have at least one Representative. .'- . " - '!' . Under -authority of ' these* provisions 10f . 4,1/C.Constittition, Congress passed laws every ten years dot) to 1850, directing the mode of, taking the census, fixing tbe whole. number or. Representatives, and for apportioning 1 the representation among the several States. As, population augmentek the numbers of Representatives and the - ratio of apportionment 1 increased from sixty-five members and a- Hide of 30;000 in 1789, to two hundred and thirty-members and a ratio or 93,423 in 1853, In 1850, the politics or the country being disttirbedois .., it 'is now, by the slivery question,there was' an embarrassing delay in passing the ziecessatraw on this subject;-and to.. guard. against such accidents infuture, Congress, in that year passed a general law, proKiding for the, seventh and each-sub sequent-eensti, establishing the whole number Of Reptesenta- ' tiVes at two !fluked and thirty-three, and regulating the mode 'of apportionment; and this nn remains permanently in force, until Congress shall otherwise order: It is under this aet that I the." Eighth Census" has been taken, an ' that the Represen tative apportionment be made for th 4 ten years succeed- 1 ing the 3d of March, 1803, ' , ' The number or 'members •in the House of Representatives being thus perthanently established at - twto hundred and thirty three,. the Secretary of the Interior is,directed by the law of 1850, to • ascertain .immediately 'after sue'census, - the aggre gate representative population of the Uni ed States, by adding to the whole numbe r of free ' pennons in 11 the States, exclud ing Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons (slaves), which aggregate he• shall divide by t 4. hudred and thirty three, and the, product : of such divisionishall be the ratio or rule 'of apportionment of Representatives 'under such census. Ile is further - directed to ascertain, by ja similar proceeding, the representative population of each State, which_ is to be di vided by 'the ratio already- determined. by-him as' above, and the this lest division shall-be the niimber of Repre sentatives_appertioned- to suck State. s I.'- ' ' , - - A pplyinfr the above directions to the population of the United States , in; - given in the annexed table, . any•one may calculate the ratio 'of represent/it-inn, nuts the number of mem bers of ckingress - to which any State willlbe entitled under the recent Census. . , ' ' • I The whole 'free population of thc,United States is,-27,"241',T91 The slave population us, - i • 3,999,352 , Add three-fifVia Of this to the r fre pepnlation, Viz:: - • • , - 1 And we thus have as the aggregate "representative population" of the•Uttitecl States. 1 - 29,641,441' This is the sum which is to be divided by ,the total nunibel• of Representatives, viz :'• 233;1 and, when - ' 'this is done we have asthe ratio or-rule of appor. -' . • ticinment under the recent census 1 -- 127,216 To get the•numbei of members to - which any State "willbe hereafter entitled, we divide the whole trepresentative pciPu-' . lation "of such State by this number, 12•,216. If the State is a Free State,'we take the whole populatiim, colored- as,Well as white; if a Slave • State 'the whole Tree population, 'and three. fifths of the slates. ' ' .- '' • I ' - In dividing 'the population of the Stf4s by_ this ratio, of course there must necessarily be some remaining fractions, and these it' cast out altogether, would reducJo the aggregate.num ber of Representatives from all the States bolo* two hundred and thirty-three. • This los e s is compensitted, by assigning- to 'the States having the largest fractions, ore additional member each, until the whole numbar of Representatives is brought up to the nuttber of two hundred and thirty-three, .ati limited by Wl•kn.a new State-is admitted into the Union, its rep resentation is in: excess of the limit until .the next succeeding census. By reference to the table it-will be se t o that Maine, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, North Carolitle,Geergia;:Alabama,. and' Minnesota will each• lose one member after 1863 ; that Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,- and Ohio will each lose two members; ; and New York will lose three members.. Arkansas and Calfornia Will each gain m one.ember ; Texas;3lichigan and Missoiri will each• gain'two members; Wisconsin and lowa will eacli gitill three members; and •Illinois will gain foUr members. Thil; places Illinois fourth in representative rank instead of ninth,. is she has been for the last , ten veers. , . . . _ - . With reference to the relative representation,of the Slave and Free States the change will not be so great as anticipated. The present House stands,' ,148 from the Frs States, and 90 from the Slave States; under the new apportionment it Will stand, 149 from- the Free States, 24 from the Plate 'States. • While the Representatives from the Free , States.reinain - about-the same in number, - the proportion between the AtlantiC Spate's and the Western States has 'been materially changed to, the advantage-of ihe , , latter. - i N - THE CENSUS OF 1860.
