By the first act it is enjoined that the cen
sus should be taken under the direction of
the sSecretary of State, and according to
such instructions as he shall give pgrsuant to
ihe act. The leading objects of this provi
sion are, doubtless, to msnre a perfect unitor
mity in the returns, and more certainly to ¢f
fect the intentions of the law within the per
iod of time designated for that purpose.
To prevent mistakes in the forms of the
oaths and afficmations prescribed, and to al
ford you facility in possessing evidence that
the ouths or affirmutions have been taken by
your assistants, I have caused them to be
printed, and herewith I transmit the number
of copies which I have supposed you may
want. It will be proper for your assistants
to subscribe as well asto take the naths or af
firmations, and to transmit the same (o you
as soon as taken, or at least with their returns,
I also enclose duplicates of the path or affir
mation which you are yourself to take dnd
subscribe, one of which,you will send to this
office with your returns.
The schiedule prescribed and ‘delineated in
the act, exhibits all the distinctions of per
sons, as‘to their colours, scxes arnd ages
which are to be observed in making the re
turns. The first section, indeed, seems to
import, that the sexes and ages of the frec
persons of colour should be distinguished in
the same manner as those of free white per
gons ; but this was not intended ; and ihe
schedule preecribed by the act, groups all the
free persons, other than white, & single
colnmn.
The form of the scheduft applies to the
whole of a division ; but it is, the design ol
the act to obtain exact accounts of the num
bers of wae inhabitants ig every sinall as well
The Constitution of the U. States having
ordained thut an enumeration of the inhubis
tants shall be made every ten years, Congress
at thelr iust session. enwcted laws wuthorising,
the Secretary of Stute 10 cause & census 1o
be tuken ; wlich will be the third enumera
tion under the present Government. Accor
dingly, the Secretary has issued to the Mar
shals of Districts and to the Sec cturies of
Territeries the subjoined instruciions, tog eth
er with copies of the acts of Congress on the
subject, und of the forms of the ouths und of
the returns which they prescribe, wransmiie
ting to cach « sufficient nuniter lor the use
ol their several ussistunts, the better 10 ena-
Bble theém 10 complete the census within the
‘Period of Wime liniited by the luw,
As the cnumerstion of the inhabitants of
the U. Stutes is the basis upon which the re
presentition in Congressis regulated, it will
at once be perceived that it s & subject of
ought to l‘ccvi* possible [icility which
primary pational rtnce ; and, therefore,
the Inteiligence of the community cun _afford
to those who are eniployed to c.rry it into ef
fect. Tt is hoped tiut the newspapers of eve
ery pohtical cemplexion will give circulation
to the instructions in question, which will con
tribute 1o a better und more general under
stonding of the subject, and obviate the fears
of the ignorint, who may conceive the enu
oreration iutended for sinister purposes.
Inded, when we reflect that the strength of
every nation consists chiefly in the number of
its inhabitents 5 and that foreign states will
form their opinions of our political power, in
I enclose “an Act providing for the
third census of enwmeration of the inhabitanie
of the United States 3’’ also, ¢ An Act to alter
and amend an act entitled ¢ An act providing
for the third census or emumeration of the
inhabitants of the United States,” passed the
twenty sixth day of March 1810 ;" and, “An
act further to alter and amena * An uct pro
viding for the third census of the enumecra
tion of the inhabitants of the United States.”
The two last acts are amendatory of the first
andrrequire no partictﬂar explanation being
sufficiently declatory of their specifick inten
tions to be easily understood, I shall there
fore merely remark in relation to them that
the first amendatory act dictates the closing
of the enumeration by your assistants within
the space of five months ; and that the last
prescribes the forms of the eaths or affirmu
tions, which, you will perceive, are varied
from the forms laid down in the principal act
The term of five months being barely suffi
cient to complete the census with accuracy.
I must-press upon you the necessity and im
portance of making your arrangements with
all possible expedition, so that the enumera
tion may actually commence throughout all
the divisions of your District or Territory,on
the very day direcied by the law, which you
will observe, is the first Monday of August
nexet.
© great degree, from the progress ol our po
pulation, every citizen must feel an interest
in promoting the object of the census law,
which lis to uscertain in the mogt accurate
manner possible the whole number of pere
sons,of all ages and every sex,within the seve
eral States and Territories of the United
States. .
