By the preceding table both classes of the coloured population had 

 gained a little on the whites in these States. 



The numbers gained by the acquisition of Florida are included 

 in the fifth enumeration, and the several estimates relative to it ; but 

 as its population at the time of its purchase (in 1821) probably did 

 not exceed 10,000 persons, or the tenth of one per cent on the 

 whole population, its disturbing influence has been disregarded in 

 the preceding views.
