The Census.

There is every reason to believe, from
the results viii, ,h have already oeen made
| public, that the census Of 1860 will exhlb-
It a surprisingly great increase on the
population returns of 1850. There is lit
tie cause for doubling that the population
Of the United States is greater now than
| that Of the United Kingdom of Great Brit.
| ain and Ireland.
Let no one imagine that the Census will
be entirely correct. Under existing ar
rangements this is impossible, because the
enumerators are allowed, by the law, to
spread Their work over many days. instead
OF doing it simultaneously. In New York,
where there are many visitors, these are
included by the enumerators who attend
the hotels, among the actual population,
and no doubt, in numerous instances, will
be counted in, with their respective house.
holds at home. The vast number Of bust
ness men who will be counted in as in
habitants Of New Ycrk, (though they live
out Of the city, with their famlies) will
also swell up the apparent population Of
New York.
The last British Census was taken upon
one day, March 3lst, 1851. Thus there
could be no duplicate counting such as We
have here referred to. There were 10000
enunerators, who copied into AZ, 900 books
all the particulars collected by them on
corning the inhabitants of Great Britain
The census in Ireland was taking by the
police and assistants After the returns
we're handed in to the proper persons, they
were subjected to revision and necessary
corrections. They then passed the hands
of another class Of officials, who We're to
test the accuracy Of their contents by
futhor process of revision.
Though the British census was taken
simultaneously on the 3lst of March, 1851
the revised returns were no. sent to the
census Office until the first day of June
This allowed two months for preparing,
copying and revisng' the ereturns. The
peculiar and sensible feature of the Brit
ish census was, that it was taken, all over
the kingdom, upon one and the same day
The previous census was taken 6S days
later, on June 1th, l74l. AS an invaria-
BILE rule, seamen and others on board yes
sells on the nIgnt Of March 3lst, 1851,
were counted in

interesting at the present time:

The comparatively small increase, dur,
iEg ten years, in the population of Great
Britain and Ireland, is accounted for by
the fact that the Irish population was l ;,
$50, $50 fewer than that Of 1871 Famine,
sickness aud emigration had thinned the
Irish inhabitants very considerable. 1t is
expected that the census Of 1861 will show
a still further diminution in Ireland. Its
population in lSGo will be 100000 low

NUMBER 5.

Tue New York Times, leading Re-
publican paper, though generally very
independent IN its views Of public men
and measures, thus speaks of Senator
Douglas and Popular Sovereignty:
ain the Northern States, Mr.. Douglas is
strong, partly on account Of his political
position aud partly from his personal
qualities. He represents more thoroughly
than any other public man that quickness
of intellect, vigor of will, and rushing rest
essneSs of temper which characterize
| American life
"But aside from these personal charac-
teristics, Mr. Douglas is the champion Of
Popular Sovereignty; and whether that
doctrine finds any warrant in the const-
tuition in legal precedents, in the opinions
OF the Fathers, or not, it has very strong
hold upon the popular instinct. The great
mass of the people in all sections, what
ever may be their opinions upon its legal
validity, recognize it as fair, Just and
| safe way of solving difficult problem. -
Let the people Of every Territory decide
for themselves whether they will have
slavery among them or not-le: Congress
ard the Federal Government abandon all
attempts, either to force it upon them, or
to prohibit them from admitting it, This
If not the highest constitutional ground, is
ground which satisfies the instinct of nine
tenths ofthe American people

not the more intelligent, sympathize and

THE PETITION FOR THE BODIES OF
GREEN AND COPELAND.

Mr.. EDITORIALS one who has taken a
deep interest in the affairs growing out OF
the Harpers Ferry tragedy, and who has
been careful observer of the proceedings
Of the Philadelphia committees and the cit
izens who backed as well as those who
tr0nted them, with an interminable hostil-
ity and opposition, in nearly all their eff
forts to concentrate the sentiments of the
people In any one direction; and particu-
larly in the one to petition for the bodies
OF our friends, Green and Copeland, per-
init me to drop few thoughts on the
above named petition, and the blind incon-
sistency of Louise" and your faithful
correspondent Banneker."
Louise" commences with the remark
that she cannot resist the present oppor-
tunity of expressing her supreme contempt
for the prayer that was sent to Gov. Wise,
of Virginia, requesting the bodies of Green
and Copeland. 1t will be remembered
that one of the grounds of dissension by
both these parties, i. e., Louise" and
Banneker," is, that they have distaste
for the humility of the petition. l can
only reply to that as did one of the CON-
mittee in the meeting of Dec. 10th, that /
have learned for the first time in nv life
that prayer could really be too humble;
no wonder the Methodists and Baptists
down east here invariably sit still during
this part of divine service instead of kneel-
ing Another objection is that it is envy
ing and contemplate. The only argu-
ment for such remark is that Gov Wise
is addressed in becoming and respectful
style, as petitioners with the view of re-
ceiving what they petitioned for. Again
she says, And then for the authors of
that syc0ptaast sheet to call themselves men
of intelligence and representing the senti-
ments of the citizens, and being the index
to the public mind of the colored people of
Philadelphia" l have yet to learn that
these gentlemen have exhibited any such
egotism, as is reflected in this quotation;
certainly there is no key to it in the Pc
tition. Besides, the committee knew full
well that number of the more intelligent
citizens, to use their own language, have
opposed their efforts on every inch of
ground since the first prayer-meeting was
held on the Gay of Capt. Browns execu-
ton; and had it been possible, they would
have fully developed the statement of
Louise" that the masses of the people do

OUR NEW HAVEN LETTER.
New HAVEN, Jan. 9, 1860.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 9, 1860
DEAR ANGLo:-Our city was favored
last week with visit from DIR. I'll. J.
Brown, Of Philadelphia, who gave us fine
intellectual treat in the shape of a scientific
lecture on phrenology in the Temple St.
Church, and concluded by practical il
lustraton Of the science, IN the examina-
ton Of the heads of about dozen persons
in the audience. His delineation of char
acter was perfect, and won golden opinions
for himself as a man of science, among all
those who heard him. We have had nu-
merous white phrenologists to lecture and
examine heads in our city, and among
others we have listened to the Fowlers; but
so far as popular audience may be allow
ed to Judge of this matter, DR.. Brown, the
colored phrenologist, came not whit be-
hind his scientific compeers. The doctor
is also conversant with the correlative
sciences Of physiology and physiognomy,
ing, as set forth in hydropathy and cleo
tricity. No intelligent man can converse
with him without being impressed with the
fact that he is well-read and scientific
man; and here let it be added to his credit
that he is a self-made man. He devoted
himself to the arduous task of climbing the
hill of science amid the cor slant strue-
gle for daily bread in one of the humble
occupations of life. The race may well
be proud of producing such a noble speci-
men of humanity; and l bid him God
speed in the lofty vocation which he has
chosen as an expounder of the noblest
sciences OF this or any other age.
The Rev. Mr.. Cato, of Washington, has
at last made his advent to the "City of
Elms," and preached last evening in the
Temple street Church 1t is supposed
that he has come to assume the pastoral
charge Of that congregation. He will re-
celve warm welcome from his friends
who have been so long and so anxiously
anticipating his arrival

Of l24 She settled near Alton in 1910,
being then nearly one hundred years old.
The Alton Courier" says: "She was
born and raised in South Carolina, and her
earliest recollections were of Charlestwn,
in that State, which she remembers as a
small village, instead of the great city it
now is. She grew up on the plantation,
field work being her task SO long as she
was slaye.-The Boston Traveller an

She was born in Reading, Mass, and in
her younger days was held as a slave.
For a time she lived in Reading, Mass,
but upon her emancipation and marriage
she moved to the North End of this city.
Through her long life her health has been
remarkably good, and up to within briet
period she has been regular attendant
upon church service.
