The Philadelphia North american deduc-
es some interesting facts from the htt
census! The enumeration shows that in
tho entire South the free population has
gained largely upon the seryile element, for
latter gains but 798, 81. IN 1850 the slaves
were just half as numerous as the. free pop
uiation. Now they have ALLEN behind 4344, :
GOO. The gain Of free population. IS chiefly
in the border States. In Missouri tho free
people have nearly doubled in ten years, and
the slaves, who in l85Oewore as one to sew
en- ofthe whites, arc IS one to nine. Ken
lucky in ten years gained lie, 653 free peo-
pie, and only II, 500 slaves. SlaYory in
Delaware and Maryland shows decided
decrease in number. In Kentucky and
Missouri it is evidently being overwhelmed
by the large and steady increase Of the free
population. In Virginia, large as the slave
population is, its hold is growing weaker
In 1850 the excess Of free people over slaves
was 476, sos; it is now Col, 547, the increase
Of the free element during the decade having
been 148 ,24O, ard the slaves only 1898.
1t is apparent that in Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, kentucky and Missouri, the lpesa-
liar institution is cbbing away before tic
mighty power Of free emigration: In South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis.
sippi and Louisiana the institution maintains
its strength and preponderance. In North
Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas it is strong
and progressive, but the free element Is
largely in the ascendant Slavery is clearly
moving toward the tropics.

We publish this morning, SO much Of
President Lincoln's inaugural address, as
came over tie wires yesterday. How much
yet remains, for the St. Paul reader, we
are unable to state. tits difficult to ex.
press an opinion on the address too, for what
is yet to come, may qualify and affect the
meaning Of what has preceded it. But It'll
plain, that tho President so far as he has
got, or rather SO far as we have got him,
holds briefly as follows:
That the Republican party, and the new
Administration will not interfere with slay-
cry in the States where it exists; but that
protection will be cheerfully given to all
the States for whatever cause" evidently
referring here to John Brown raids;
That the Fugitive Slave law, although,
Objectionable in some Of its features, is a
enactment, and must be
enforced; but this is coupled with the de.
duration that tho peddlers Of abolition
documents and speeches at the South, mus,
be protected;
That there is no such thing as peaceful
Secession; but that Secession is Revolution

THE RECORD or FIFTY DAYS.

The New York Woyzd gives a condensed
stateinentfof the events Of the past fifty
days il connection with the secession move
ment, which we willstill further coniensc as
follows: On the 9Th Of November the peo-
pic Of the United States elected their four
teen,h President-Abraham Lincoln, Of
Illinois. On the Goth Of December South
Caro!ina-with her white population Of
SO9, 1856, passed an ordinance Of secession.
This was followed by the seizure OF the
revenue cutter Aiken, and of the United
States arsenal. On the 2tth Of December
Major Anderson moved from fort Moultrie
to Fort Sumter, and took the command OF
Charleston harbor. On the 25th Of Janua-
ry, Forts Pulaski and Jackson, and the
United States arsenal at Savannah, with
.Fort Mason and the asenal at Fayetteville,
North Carolina, were sized. On the Sd,
Fort Morgan. near Mobile, and the Mt.
Vernon arsenal, were taken. On the 9Th,
the arsenal at Apalachicago, and on the 8th,,
Forts johnson and .Caswell, in North Car
|olina, were also seized. The same day the
Florida convention adopted secession rcso-
lutions. On the 9th, Mississippi followed
suit, while at Charleston, the New York
steamer Marion was seized and the Star Of
the West fired into. 4 On the 10th, Fort
McRae, at Pensacola and on the 18th,
Ferts Pike, at St. Philip, and jackson.
with the arsenal at Baton Rouge, were
seized. The same day Alabama sccede /.
On the 18th Fort Barrancas and the Pc !.
sacola navy yard were taken. On the 10Th,
Georgia seeded. On Sunday, January 20,
Ship Island fort was taken by Captain
Howard. On the 24th, Governor Brown,
of Georgia, seized the arsenal at Augusta
Louisiana seeded on the 26th, and Texas
on the LIST Of February, about which time
the revenue cutter McLelland fell into the
hands Of the seccssionists. February 2,
the arsenal at Little Rock, Arkansas, was
taken. February 8, the Montgomery con
ycntion proclaimed the Confederate States
Of America" and elected Jefferson Davis
President Of its provisional government.
The Same day, five New York vessels were
seized in the port Of Savannah, by order of
Governor Brown, and subsequcntlyrelcased.
On the 18th Jefferson Davis was inaugurated
President Of the Southern Republic and
delivered his message.
What the next fifty days may bring forth
no man can foretell. It is not too late to
Adopt measures which will keep the Border
States in the Union; but we see no proba-
bility that they, will be carried. Our only
hope is that they will postpone action until
the new Administration comes into power
and announces its policy. As for the seced-
ed States, they must be left, for the present,
to make the experiment ola government.
