of 172, and probably without a parallel in any State or nation,
this side of Ireland. We have, in California, 176 more persons
than in 1860 ; in Illinois, 255 ; in Iowa, 1731; in Kansas, 658; in
Massachusetts, 7,204; in Minnesota, 841; in Missouri, 561 ; in
New-Jersey, 666; and in District of Columbia, 295. "While in
Alabama there are 45 less ; Louisiana, 64 ; Georgia, 54; Maryland,
48; Mississippi, 48 ; North Carolina, 45; South Carolina, 57 ; Ten-
nessee, 41; Maine, 2,612; Vermont, 4,029 ; New-York, 3,740; and
Ohio, 844. This shows conclusively, that New-Hampshire has not
so many carpet-baggers (as men are now termed who go south to
reside) in the South, by several hundred, as before the war.

In 1860, New-Hampshire had in its population, of foreign born,
20,939 ; in 1870, 29,611; a gain in ten years of 8,672. In 1870,
there were 40,820 persons in the State having a foreign father and
foreign mother; 42,862 having a foreign father, and 42,550 having
a foreign mother. Of the foreign population, 4 were horn in Afri-
ca; 2 in Asia ; 8 in the Atlantic Islands ; 14 in the Australasian
Islands; 9 in Austria ; 4 in Bohemia ; 11,901 white, 2 colored, and
13 Indians in Canada; 239 in New-Brunswick ; 6 in Newfoundland;
514 in Nova Scotia; 22 in Prince Edward’s Island; 225 in Brit-
ish America (not specified); 1 in Central America ; 5 in China ; 5
in Cuba; 11. in Denmark; 60 in France; 436 in all the German
States ; 2,679 in England ; 12,190 in Ireland ; 892 in Scotland ;
27 in Wales ; 107 in Great Britian (not specified) ; 1 in Greece ; 5
in Holland; 3 in Hungary ; 7 in India ; 9 in Italy ; 1 in Mexico;
55 in Norway; 2 in Poland; 12 in Portugal; 2 in Russia; 4 in
Sandwich Islands ; 9 in South America: 9 in Spain ; 42 in Sweden;
11 in Switzerland; 9 in Turkey ; 11 in West India, and 11 at sea.

The total number of colored people in the State, in 1870, was
580; in 1860, 520; and in 1810, 970. Portsmouth had the larg-
est number in 1870, viz. 56 ; Manchester, 50; Exeter, 54; Con-
cord 36; Dover, 33, and Nashua 25. In 1790, there were 158
. slaves in the State; in 1800, 8; in 1830, 3, and in 1840, 1.

There were 3 Indians in Carroll County; 13 in Coos; 5 in Hills-
borough ; 1 in Rockingham, and 1 in Sullivan ; making in all 23.

The census shows that this State, in 1870, in striking the bal-
ances, had, born in other States and foreign countries, 8,500 more
people than in 1860, and still our population decreased 7,473 in
the last decade. It does not solve this problem, and it will be hard
to induce people to believe that for the past ten years 15,000 more
