TO ms CONSTITUENTS.
LETTER IX.
THAT part of the constitution of the United
States, which allows to the people of the south
ern states, a representation in Congress and in the
election of the president, /or their slaves, (for it is
not a representation of slaves) is the only part of
that instrument which J consider as materially ob
jectionable ; and I shall not be deterred from an
expression of my sentiments upon }he subject, by
the foolish outcry about an imaginary dissolution of
the U dan. I have often said that I wish 'not to
see the subject again agitated, in the form of an a
mendment to the constitution. Every one knows
it must be unavailing. But it may still be useful
that the operation of that part of the constitution
should be better understood by the people thanoit
has been hitherto. Information can do no harm in
a republican government ; the more the.people
know, the greater the probability of preserving the
constitution.
It is certainly true that the rich planter in the
southern states, who possess fifty slaves, has thirty
oie times the political weight in our national gov
ernment that is possessed by a farmer or merchant
of New-England. He doesnot directly give so ma
ny votes, but the state is allowed them, and as one
of the constituents of the representative and elector
of his district, he possesses all that consequence.
At the same time he contributes much less than his
proportion to the support of government, for the
laboring slaves consume nothing of consequence up
on which a duty is paid , and what the master does
contribute is earned for him by the labor of slaves,|
while the farmer and every man of business in thej
northern and middle states pays his taxes with the
sweatpf his own brow. It will be said that com
parisons of this kind are inviduous. It is false.
Truth and correct information, so far from merit
ing that character, are always honorable and use
ful. With very considerable labor I have made
some calculations upon this subject, for which I
shall neceive the thanks of every honest man in the
district, and which will certainly give rise to re
flections of a mostfiuteresting nature.

1 shall divide the United States into the three
great natural divisions of northern, middle and
southern states. The northern receive no advantage
the middle but a trifle,if any, and the southern a
very important advantage, from the representation
for slaves. .'
The following table, exhibits the decrease of
slaves in the northern and middle,and their increase
in the southern states for ten years.
New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode-Island,
IConnecticut and Vermont contained in 1790—total,
! 1,009,522'; slaves 3,886. In 1800, total 1,233,011 ;
slaves 1,339. New-York, New-Jersey,_Pcnnsylra
nlt and Delaware, in 1790, total 1,017,726 ; slaves
45,371. In 1800, total 1,464,017 ; slaves 40 804.
M tryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North -Carolina,
South-Carolina, and Georgia, in 1790,t0tal 1,866,387,
slave; 645,023. In 1800, total, 2,437,231 ; slaves
832,992. The slaves in the northern states have
decreased from 3,886 to 1,339, almost in the ratio
of 2 in 3. Tn the middle States from 45,3/1 to
140,894, in that of nearly one ninth. Increased in
the southern from 645,023 t 0832 992, nearlyone third
of the original number, or in the ratio of 832 to 546.
Rhode-Island has decreased from 948 to 380.
Connecticut from 2,764 to 951. New-York nearly
stationary. Pennsylvania and Delaware have de
creased a little, and Maryland made a small in
'crease. Virginia has increased in the ratio of 345
to 292. Kentucky in that of 40 to 12. North Car
olina in that of 133 to 100. South Carolina in that
of 145 to 107. Georgia has doubled her rummer.
The increase gives four members of Congress, and
as many electors of president to the southern states.
The increase of the whole number cf persons
represented has been as 49 to 36 ; that of slaves,
for which their masters are represented as 53 to 41;
that of freemen as 44 to 31. Let us calculate upon
the same ratio of increase for 10 years to corner In
crease die number of persons represented from 49 to
65—slaves from 53 to 68—. freemen from 44 to 60,
round numbers : there will be in 10 years 19 more
representatives for slaves. But if we calculate, as
we may with probability, upon a much larger In
crease, upon thesreation of new states in Louisia
na, and the importation and propagation of slaves
in that @untry, in 20 or 30 years, there will be be
tween 30 and 40 representatives in congress for
slaves, and as many electors of president.
But another very gloomy part of the picture re
mains to be unfolded.-
In the last ten years the whole number of persons
in the northern or eastern states ha increased only
in the proportion of 12 to 10, in the middle as 14 to
10, in the southern nearly as 24 to 18. Free people in
the eastern as 12 to 10, slaves in the southern as
83 to 64. Free people in the southern stares from
1,221,354 to 1,604,239. Free people in th, eastern
states in the ratio of one fifth only of the original
number ; those in the southern states ih'that of
nearly one third ; slaves in shout the same propor
tion.
By the last census the number of free persons in
the northern states was 1,231672, and in the south
ern 1,604,239. By the former census the number
of free persons in the n rthern states was 1,005,636,
and in the southern '1,221 364. How are the people
in these different quarters of the union relatively
represented ? By the first census Vermont had 2
members, New-Hampshire 4, Massachusetts 14,
Rhode-Island 2, Connecticut 7—-29 members. Ma
ryland 7, Virginia 19, Kentucky 2, North-Carolina
10, South-Carolina t, Georgia 2—46 members.
1,005,636 free citizens in the northern states had
29 representatives, and 1,221,364 in the southern
46 representatives. Without allowing any frac
tions of the ratio of representation in the apportion
ment to the several states, and making no allow
ance for slaves, the northern states would have been
entilled, by the census of 1790, to 80 representatives,
and a fraction of 15,636, the southern to 37 only,
with the trifling fraction of 364. In consequence,
therfore, of the constitutional representation for
slaves, the relative weight -of the northern and
southern states was only as 29 to 46, when .other
wise it would have been as 30 to 37.
By the present census the northern states have 35
representatives, and the southern 14, including
Tennessee. 1,231,672 free people in the northern
states , have 35 representatives. The southern states,
lincluding Tennesse, contain 1,696,257 free people,
j and have 64 representatives. As above northern
states would have been entitled by thecensus of 1800
to 37 members, with a fraction of 10,672. The
southern to 51, and a fraction of 13,257. It is as 35
to 64, and, were freemen alone represented, and
that equally, it would be as 37 to 51. Instead of
being tittle more than half, it would be more than
2 thirds.
But it is contended that the equal representation
in the Senate counterbalances this inequality ; and
the deceivers of the people have met with some suc
cess in this falshood. I will prove it false in one
minute. The five northern states contain 1,231,672
free people, and send ten senators ; the 7 southern
states 1,696,257, and send 14 senators. By a sim
ple operation in the rule of three, it will be found
that the southern states, by their numbers, in pro
portion to those of the northern, are entitled only
to 13 senators, with a fraction of 91 parts of 123.,
The middle states stand almost on the same ground'
witli the northern. As it respects the Senate, they
aft on worse ground. With a free population but
one eighth less than that of the southern states,they
have but one more than half the number of senators.
Vermont, for 154,000 free people, has 4 repre
sentatives. Massachusetts, for 574,564, has 17 re
presentatives. New-Hampshire, for 183,850, hass.
Connecticut, for 250,051, has 7. Rhode-Island for
68,742 has 2.—New-York,for 565,437 has 17.—
New-Jersey, for 198,727, has 6.—Pennsylvania
for 600,839, has 18. Delaware, for 58,120 has
one. Virginia the largest of the southern
states, has, in whole numbers, 880,200—deduct
slaves, 345,796 —free people, 534,404. Virginia,
with 40,160 free people less than Massachusetts,has
five representatives and electors more. With 31,033
„ less than New-York, she- has five more of each.
Witli 66,435 less than Pennsylvania, she has four
more of each — Persons now alive may see the day
when the southern and ^western states will have
more representatives in congress, and ejectors of
president, for slaves duly, than the northern will
have for all their free people !
Whoever shall deny the truth of any part of this
statement, the people may rely upon it is a deceiv
er, and dishonest. If there be no accidental or ty
pographical mistakes in the figures, every word of
it is as true as truth itself. Such a state of things is
our own misfortune, and not the crime of the people
./of the south. We must make the best ofa bad bar
gain.- We must by all means preserve the consti
tution. Our situation is indeed wretched, as we have
no compensation for this monstrous sacrifice. That,
which was intended as a compensation (a very tri
fling one however) the apportionment of direct
taxes, has neve been exercised but once, and prob
ably never will be again. Still let us preserve the
constitution. But it vannot be treason conspiracy,
or a division of the union, to contemplate our mis
fortunes, and calculate theirconsequences. "

all the energies, of our very energetic government,
to dissipate. The court of Spain owes the Ameri

WEST-LVDLZS.
We m 2, speedily expect the most interesting in
telligence from the West-Indies. It is abtrads uly?
confirmed, that the Toulon fleet passed into the ''
Atlantic Ocean, early in -foiA-proceeded to A, ?'z
where it was joined by a Spanish squadron, realv
for sea, in .hit port ;—and that the combined
squadron sailed immediately on an important expe
dition. The desertion of this expidition, can on
ly be gathered from circumstances. An arrival a3
Alexandria, from Porto-Rico, which it left the 15th
May, brings advice of. the arrival there a few
days previous to sailing-of an express vessel, with
information ot her having sailed eighteen day* in
company with the combined fleet, consisting of nine
teen sail of the hne, besides frigates ; and that he
left them-to windward of Barbadees. This account
corresponds with other intelligence respecting this'
fleet ; and does not in thedeast thwart probability.
An arrival at Baltimore from'Antigua, brings cor
roboratory intelligence ;— s tattas that on the 16th
May, the Governor of Antigua received dispatches
from Barbadoes announcing, that a combined Ffreirh.
and Spanish fleet, consisting, in the whole, of 52
sail had been seen steering Westward from Eu
rope.
We have further intelligence, that on the 9th Par
after the French Toulon squadron passed the Girt
of Gibraltar, Lord Ar/soe also paused with his
squadron, and steered to the westward, fr This
last part is contradicted bv intelligence, direct from
Gibraltar,^o the 22d April—[l2 days after the net

French and Spanish fleets.
One of the London, articles of May 1, received at
New-York, mentions, that intelligence bad reached
England, of ^ord Nelson's having been enabled to
overtake the French Tculon fleet, before it left Ca
diz, and had completely blockaded them in that
port. This cannot be the case, as Intelligences has
been received from Cadiz to the 22d April, that
the combined French and Spanish fret had sailed
from that port ; besides, we have advices from Gib
raltar, of a still later date, which more than Ques
tions the truth of the report, published seme fyys
since, that Lord Nelson had passed through the
Streights. From these circumstances, and the in
formation which has readied us from sea, thr # r^h
numerous sources, it is more than probable, tb;:t
the Toulon fleet, after being p med bv such of the
Spanish ships of war at Cadiz, as were ready for
sea immediately on someexpedition in the West-In
dies ; and that tuey nave actually arrived in those
lattitudes. Conjecture and probability, places their
destination against Jamaica which if they should be
successful in taking, would jirove of immense im
portance to the Emperor of r rance in his future ne
gociations, with England, for Peace.
Since preparing the above, we have seen a letter
from Plymouth, which mentions the arrival there,
