, @WHIG MEE TING.—Tl1e
Whigs -of this town, are requested
to meet at the N orvvalk Hotel this
(Tuesday) evening, in obedience to
"the call'of the State Central Com-
mittee, to appoint Delegates, to a
Convention to beholden at New Ha-
ven" on the 22d inst. for the nomina-
‘-tion of Presidential Electors. It is
hoped that there will be a general
attendance as it is expected busi-
ness of special interest will be
brought before the meeting.
By order Town Com7m'ttee.
MR. CALHOUN AND THE Ct-:Nsus.—-It will be seen
by the proceedings of the House of Representatives
on Monday of last week, that Mr. Adams moved to
‘amend the Journal so far as it concerned a letter
front the Secretary of State, replying to a resolution
of that body calling for information as to the correct-
ness of the late census. Mr. Calhoun stated that
‘there were no errors in the published report bfthe
census. Mr. Adams claims that tlte census contains
-important errors. There is the issue between them.
-As usual, the ex-Presideuthas fortified himselfin his
position, and we are much mistaken if Mr. Calhoun,
-does not find, as others have fuuttd before him, that
-he has run afoul ofa snag. If the letter of the Sec-
retary was written without an examination of the
‘tables. he will at least find, that there is some un-
certainty in jumping at conclusions, even though
sanctioned by “corrections of the Department of
-State.” If the tables were examined. and the asser-
'liou ofthe letter based on the results of that examin-
ation, then the Secretary will find that he has got
himselfiuto a dilemma not less lutlniliating than the
other. The census is full ofgross blunders, and mis-
representation. It affords no data for the investiga-
tions" of medical science, which was so confidently
expected from it. VVe are therefore thrown back
into all the vague uncertainty (so far at least as its
statistics of insanity are concerned) that has hitherto‘
existed. The government had directed its mar-
-shalls to ascertain the number of white and colored
people respectively, and the number of white and
colored lunatics, and idiots. These marshalls were
ordered to inquire front house, and leave no dwel-
ling—neither mansion nor cabin—neither tent nor
ship unvisitedand unexamined, and it was reasona-
bly supposed that there would be a complete and
accurate account of the prevalence of insanity
-among 17,000,000 of people. A wider field had
never been surveyed. It was also supposed that
this would show the frequency of the disorderamong
the white and colored races. All who were interested
in this matter, waited anxiously for the publication
of the sixth census, which came forth in large folio
volumes, “corrected at the Department of State.”—‘
Many proceeded at once to analyze the tables, in
order to show the proportion of lunacy in the _vll_
rious states; and among the two races, which con-
stitute our population, and what has been the result?
W'e find that out ofawhite population of 9,557,065,
of the northern States and Territories, 9,603 are
lunatics, equal to one person in 995——while the
colored population of the same States amounting to
171,894, 1189, are insane or one in every—l-44.5.
Of the white population of the Southern States,
amounting to 4,632,153, there are 4900 insane, or
one in 945; of the colored, including the slave pop-
ulation of the same States, amounting to 2,701,491,
1734, are insane, or one in 1557.9.
These facts are strange and astounding. “The
most unexpected development,” says a writer in the
American Journal of‘ the Medical Sciences, “was
that ofthe vast disproportion of insanity in the col-
ored population of’ihe free and of the slave states.
It is here shown that the negroes and mulattoes
of the north produced one lunatic or idiot for every
fitteen hundred and fifty-eight. Lunacy was there-
fore about eleven times as frequent for the African
in freedom as in slavery. More strange than this,
it was shown, that in Maine every fourteen‘th uegroe,
in Michigan every twenty-eight. and in Mastachn-
setts every forty-third negro was insane. lVhile
New Jersey, which seemed to be the’ least destruc-
.tive to the mentalhealth of the colored population,
having only one lunatic in every two hundred and
' ninety-seven of those people, presented more than
double the proportionate number of insane blacks
ofthat which was found in her contigious neighbor,
Delaware, which, in this respect, was the least
flavor’e’d of the States south of Mason and Dixon’s
me. . -
The secret ofthe error may be found in com-
.paring the whole colored population of each town
individually with the number of insane reported in
it. VVorce_ster, Mass. is stated to contain 133
colored lunatics, while the number of colored inhab‘
items are only 151. In other cases where there is
not a black to be found, there are several that are
reported insane; and in others, where there are
blacks to be found, theinumber of lunatics exceeds
the whole number of black residents, as inVVaterford
' .-of this State, where there only two black reported
‘_in the town, there are no less than 7 insane.
There is good reason to believe that the census is
‘in error in regard to white as well as colored insane.
:80 far as investigations have been carried, the tables
;are found to fall short ofpreviously ascertained facts.
The census is equally inaccurate in its statements
' respecting the blind, and the deaf and dumb among
the negrocs of the north, as in the case of insanity’
these disorders are found to exist without subjects,
in a case of abstraction. Yet the Secretary of State,
notwithstanding these astounding errors, asserts to
Congress that no errors exist in the census tables !

TYLER. CONVENTION —We learn from an
g ex-Tyler man in this town,lhat the C'on‘ven-
tion which was to have been holden in Danbu-
ry on the 25th uh. about-whichso‘much interest
was felt, actually took place, pursuant to ad-
journment from this place. When and where
the. meeting was held in this place, or who
composed it, we are entirely ignorant. The
alledged adjourned meeting. was organized by
the appoiniment of our Tyler man, the “Hon.
Stephen Smith" to the chair,’and we believe
not less than a dozen comprised the convention,
The meeting passed two resolutions at least.
that we ha.ve seen, which go it with a perfect
looseness for the Capt- and annexation.
The great beauty ofthe thing" is, that the Mad-
isonian put the w hole forth as an expression of
Old Norwalk. in favor of John Tyler and an-
nexation. while our Tyler man aforesaid. con-
stitutes the parly in Ihis town. Delegates were
appointed to the Baltimore Convention. to be
holden on the 27th inst. The following gen-
tlemen comprise the Delegation:
Hon. Stephen Smith, Norwalk; Dr. N. S.
Perry, Sharon; N. B. Corning, Danbury; Jas.
C’. Loomis, Bridgeport.
The Convention which assembled in New Haven
last week, was rather more ofa rusher than the one
at Danbuay. It was made up of just3 Custom
house ollicers and one stranger. The Captain's re-
election,is becoming a subjcctofvery grave concern!
PHILADELPHIA Rro'rs.—-A pery full account
ofthe bloody riots which look place in Philadol
phia last week will be found in our columns this
week. Al the time these accounts close, the city
had been put under martial law——the militia l'lfl(l
taken possession of such buildings (Catholic
Churches) as were exposed to destruction. No
farther outrages of any consequence occur-
red. Some old l.)Ull(il-12$ of little value were
fireal for the purpose ofdiverling the attention of
the military, but without effect. For whole-
s tle destruction of properly and lives, these riots
have few or no equals in the history of the
country.
Two petitions have been presented to the Legis-
lature ofthis St.ate for Rail RoadCharters; one from
citizens of Boston, to connect the Gt. VVestern Road
with the Harlem, and the other for a continuation
oftlte I-Iousatouic Road. In one case the route is
given, while in the other it is not. It would be for
the interest of the shore towns to oppose any road
which will not take them in its route. Should a
road be carried tltrouglt Danbury, it will not only
he ofno benefit to us, hllt an absolute injury, by
diverting the trade which naturally colncs this way.
VVill our R.epresentatives look to this’!
A correspondent at South Norwal t complains
that the citizens of lhat village cannot obtain
their letters and papers at our ofiice, without
sending two or three times for them. and asks us
for a oil of advice. The only advice we can give
is to grin and hear what cannot be avoided.-
Relief will come with the election of Henry
Clay. As we confidently expect to annex the
significant lille ol'P. M. to our name after that
event. our friends at the soullt village may
again have an office oflheirown, and "\Vhor~
lleberry Hills"will be allowed logo into reliracy.
The “Lines” of ‘Lorenzo,'’ are not just the
thing for publication. The humor whiclf the
language would he likely to raise in the indif-
ferent reader would not well accord with the
nature of the subject.
Tm-1 Mass CONVX-:l\"l‘l0N A'1‘BAL'l‘IMORl-‘..-—
This body met on Thursday, to ratify the pro-
ceedings of the National Convention, which
took place the day previous. Upwards 50,000
persons were supposed to be assembled on the
ground, the immediate delegation from the sev
eral Slates amounting to 7.248-—Delaware hav-
ing the largest comparative number. and ob
mined the great prize banner of the Uniou.—-
The Connecticut Delegation amounted to only
91, for which a sufficient reason may be found
in the fact that our stale election look place on
the same day. “.76 had enough to do at home
The Jolm M. Clayton. of Delaware, presided.

day. and all the measures proposed were well
carried out. A letter was received from Mr.

lion for President, which was read by the Hon.

acclamation ofthe assembled multilude.——I-Icr.

The act repealing an act of the Legislature
dividing this oily into Wards. has passed both
Houses and been signed by the Governor, being
the first among his Executive sanctions. That
law was made by the Legislature as a party
measure, without the knowledge or consent of
the citizens of New Haven. Hence its Jepeal.
