    For the purpose of comparing the last census with the two former ones, I shall, for the convenience of availing my- self of calculations previously made, class the States as — 1, New-England ; 2, the four middle States from New-York to Delaware ; 3, the North-Western States, from Ohio to Iowa; 4, the Southern Atlantic States, from Maryland to Georgia ; 5, the South-Western and extreme Southern from Florida to Missouri; 6, the extreme Western, which appear for the first time in the last census, in two divisions—first, Texas and New Mexico: second, California and the very newly settled territories. For the purpose of comparing different sections of the Union together, I shall presently make a different division of the States. The annexed table exhibits the numbers, and proportion to the whole population of the same color, of the white deaf and dumb at each census, in each of the great sections of the Union just defined :— TABLE I.
