impair the right to slave property in terrific
ries, any more than the right to any other

same equal and broad Constitutions basis,
and subject to like principles of recognition
and PROTECTION in the LEGISLATIVE, judicial

Washington pretty definite idea of the
amount of population can be obtained. 1t
is stated that the grand total will not fall
below thirty 1.-TWO millions. Many unantici-
pated facts are developed by it such as, for
instance, that Ohio has but little il at all ia.
creased her population within the last ton
years; and that Illinois has increased in
population much more than was presumed.
having considerably more than doubled ii.
Illinois will be entitled to fifteen members
OF the House of Representatives under the
new apportionment. Iowa, however, will
increase her Congressional delegation in .
greater ratio than any other State.

Position of the Minority of thc New

sion of the Southern Delegations.
The following protest was entrusted to Mr..
Cochrane for presentation in the Baltimore
convention, but he did not find an opportunity
to present it:
Statement presented to the National Democrat
ic Convention by the minority Of the New
York Delegation on the majority and mlnori-
ty reports of the Committee on Credentials,
presented to such convention on the 21st ol
June, 1860.
Because of the instructions of the State con.
vettion from which the New York delegation
emahated, the voice OF the minority of such
delegation could not be heard in the National
convention. Fidelity to those instructions in.
duced adherence to them by such minority yet
it is proper that their position within their del
egation upon the several questions which have
been decided by the convention should be
known. In expression of their opinions, there
fore, and for their own vindication, they beg
leave to state that such minority voted in their
delegation in favor Of the first eight resolutions
contained in the minority report, believing the
delegates named to be the authorised repre- SEN
tatives in the National Convenei1tiou of their
respective Democratic constituencies.
Appended hereto is the list of the names of
those who voted for said minority report in the

seems to be doing quite a heavy
business. An ideaof the amount Of
produce shipped from Lincoln, as
compared with other counties, may
BIS obtained in the fact that Deche.d

rangement, when Lincoln shipments
and receipts were made by the way
Of Shelbyville. Wartrace bore off the
palm. But Lincoln changed the cur
