A comparison Of these fgures with those
we give above viii show that Pennsylvania
has contributed troops in a larger ratio than
any of, the New England States, except
Rhode Island The nearest approach to us,
with that exception, is Massachusetts,, which
has sent three-ffths of her arms bearing
population, while we have sent rather more
than that Rhode Island has raised men in
about the same ratio as Pennsylvania
Kansas exceeds us all, but her population
must have increased very largly since 1860,
as otherwise the figures show that she has
sent nearly her whole adult white male pop
ulation IN the field The figures given above
do not include the colored, Of whom Penn

they do include the Massachusetts, colored
