ufacturing establishments are one to each
TAI persons, or about three-quarters as
many as in South Carolina, and One-seventh
as many as in Vermont. There is one cGl-
tiyated farm to each II persons, or proper
tionally twice as many as In South Carolina
and Rhode Island, and nearly as many as in
Vermont. The proportion Of great plantl-
tons with numerous gangs of slaves must
be small in this State.
As we get into the heart Of the Save
States, the number of runaway and manu-
mitted Slaves becomes exceedingly small.
During the wear before the census, fourteen
runaways escaped from South Carolina, or
one out of each 27.0l6. At the same rate
in ten years the State would lose one out Of
each 2,7Ol. And for this the Chiyalrv
would dissolve the Union In Delaware,
where in year one slave escapes from each
l2O, or Maryland, where one escapes to
each 42O, or even in Virginia, where one
runs away yearly to each j,3li, they might
make hubbub but South Carolina, which
each year sees one escape out of hceaty-
seren thousand, Even Arkansas loses
more runaways There the yearly proper
ton Is one to each 4,O99 South Carolina
manumits two a year, and Arkansas six, if
the year Of the census is a fair sample.
Vermont contains j6,jis dwellings, and
1855 families; leaving 3,007 that live
under the same roof with some other faml-
". The average number Of persons under
one roof is s., or nearly the same as IN
Maine, less than in Newly ork, and l. less
than in MARYLAND. In Rhode Island there
are 22,139 dwellings,, and j,3i9 families
more than houses, while there are g. per-
sons to a house. In South Carolina there
are 5l,450 dwellings,, and only 2S9 families
not in houses of their own-supposing the
slaves t. own their huts-and the average
is Ia persons to each house. or more than
twice as many as in Vermont, Maine, New
York, or Rhode Island, and nearly twice as
many as in Maryland. 1t is rather singu-
lar that people should be packed closer in
South Carolina than in New Ork, where
there are so many large cities with popula-
ton in the highest degree of density In
Arkansas there are 2S,2lS dwellings,, and
only l53 families not in their own abodes,
and the number of persons to each house Is
=. Even this is larger than in the old |
State of MARYLAND The slaves must live
great many in cabin down away there.
In point of health these four States are
relatively about what we should expect. In |
Vermont the deaths in the year before the !
census were one out of each 80 persons In |
Rhode Island one out of 66 in South Car |
olina one ont OF 81 and in Arkansas one !
out of 81. The superior health of Vermont |
comes from her mountain air. and the agrl- !
cultural occupations of her people Rhode |
Island is less healthy, not only from the eff /
feet of manufacturing labor, but owing to /
her position on the sea-bOard, and her eX-
poSure to the vlllalnOus cast winds which IN
fest the coast of New England, producing |
colds and consumptiops. For instance, in
Maine, which is at once an agricultural and |
sea-board State, the mortality is less than !
in Rhode Island. but considerably greater /
than in Vermont, being one out OF IL
South Carolina, on the other hand, Is more |
healthy than Maine. her position on the /
coast being rather favorable to health, as 1t
modifes the heats she would otherwise sui-
fer but still she is inferior to Vermont
The great mortality in Arkansas Is to be at
ubutcd to the newness Of the country, and
the malaria arising from rich uncutlyated
bottom lands. 1t will be many years and
Arkansas will have million of population,
before it becomes truly healthy State.
In Vermont the number of white males
exceeds by 5000 that of the females IN
Rhode Island the females are 5000 more |
numerous than the males In Vermont the /
very limited colored population consists OF
nearly equal numbers of the two sexes. In /
South Carolina there are 1000 more white /
males than females. but 10000 more black |
females than males; and it is curious that I
these proportions have scarcely varied tor
ten wears. In Arkansas the white males
exceed the females bv above 5000. but OF
slaves there are only l22 more males than
females.
