For example, there are 21i natives OF VIRGIN

is 125. while there are 1923 natives of MissiS-
sippi residing in New EnGlsnd. These are
examples of the state of things on willie
scale.
In looking over all the free States we find
that Massachusetts, has 1852 natives at the
south. while New York has about 2O.OOo.T
