CENSUS OF SLAVES AND FREE coLoRfD

Here il will be that the Of slaves for ten
years has been % per cent while the Of free col
ored has only been IL per cent 1t will also be that
the per ceutage Of increase has been gradually diminishing
The rate for the whole black population for years past
was % per cent On this the Report presents the fol-
lowing remarks
"Tbe greater apparent increase among slaves from
l640 to 1850 is connected with the admission OF Texas
l846 For the future, the rate will probably continue
dmiph and 10 apply unchanged the rate OF he last ten
years must sve results exceeding rather than falling short
Of the truth. The following estimates therefore, have
computed the assumption that the rate Of the last
years % 07 shall continue twenty years longer or until
$780, after which the rate diminished to 30 90 until
close Of tie present century for the coored population
And to facilitate comparison the column exhibits The
aggregate Of whites free ooored and saves based the
well known and very correct assumption OF an
nual increase of three per cent"
