in going from Charleston to Smithville, N G. used
up all her fuel and being balasted with hard pine,
burnt that also, making the boat so crank that they
had constant arof her upsetting The lower coast
OF Nor h Carolina was overfowed by the tide, and
all he.corn destroyed. Fortunately the gale hauled

We think that large majority Of the voters oi

of limiting the tenn Of Office Of our Judges and
we do ir,sis, that the candidates should be made

Population and Representation ef South

Attention has already been drawn by

Congressional Districts, which must de-
volve upon she uex. Legislature, AID il is
| therefore an appropriate time o present 70
our readers, tho statistics Of our population
in form bearing directly on this question:
The Constitution of the United States
says:
"Represeulation aud direct taxes, shall
be appor,ioned among The several States,
which may be included in This Union, ac-
cordiug to their respective numbers. which
sudu oC uCSc'tnsncu W ouuibS todsS SpUtC
number Of free persons, including those
bound 10 service for term Of years, and
excluding Indians no, taxed, three 6lihs Of
all other persons"
The Representatives population will there
fore be determined by taking tho whole
number Of free persons, and adding thereto
3-5ths Of The slaves. Aud 6rst of the
whole Stale. The free population. (incIu-
ding Tree colored,) amounts 10 267, $780,
The whole slave population is ;27, ,03S,
which. IN Federal numbers, or representa-
i've power, equals 1922. The Federal
Representative population Of tho State is
therefore 463,5S2.
By the Appor,ionment Bill which is now
law, South Carolina has seven Repro
seutaliyes 10 Congress. Dividing her
Federal Numbers by seven, we have Co.,
226, as the ratio Of Representation for our
Stale. From the tables of the last census
published 10 the American Almanac, we
have made ouI new table, which pre-
seuts opposite the number Of each District,
first, The free population. second the Slaves,
and third The Federal Numbers. We have
not followed the Alphabetical order, bu,
arranged the Districts as they lie on the
man. beginning with the Sea board.

From what we learn from some Of the

The majority in the Stale is 50 great. ,ha!
oven If some three or four districts should,
afof a regular party contest. elect whig
members, they would constitute such q
small minority as to be powerless. Under
these circumstances. and from the addi-
rional one, that no election can be held for
members of Congress-, until after the Leg
islature shall have met aud laid of The dis
lricis, we are inclined to think the elections,
generally, will be attended with less ex-
