RETURN OF TAXABLES IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Total, 91,150

REMARKS—Fourteen new counties have been erected since 1793 which accounts for the apparent decrease of some countys. And from the recent organization of those western counties we may reasonably conclude (if no Indian wars intervene) that the increase will be much greater in the next seven years.

The returns there is reason to fear have not been accurately taken. It being impossible in some of the counties to persuade the inhabitants that this was not some guide for future taxation, which induced them to suppress every name they possibly could.

The slaves which in 1791. amounted to 3737, are now reduced to 1521.

Taking our return of taxables as a basis on the proportions of the former Census, Pennsylvania would now contain 532,884 souls. Which would be an increase of 98,554, since the Federal Census.
