The Con say susof 1800 was taken during the prevalence of the cholera, and the absence of Urge number made, is as accurate and authentic as possihlc. Mr. Cist took the census in 1810, ami in all , . , . ,, ., . , statistical matters is good nuthonly: and the , , , " census ho has taken, giving 1C0. 13ii u the pop riitcli ulotion i.f Cincinnati in 1853, should go t'uith to tiio world and be roecived as a correct and r,,iV itatemmt of our re .1 numerical strength. This statement, compared w ith tho tables for soino years previous, shows thut in this coin tree muninn lho proportion which Births, Marriages, To Ihi Editor of thi Ditgli i A now Census of this city hat Just been enmpletcd by Mr, Charles Cist and his assis. tants. The aggregate in the city corporation limits it 100,186. Thcro has been a regular increase In our population of ten per cent annually, corn- of ourcitisens with their families, who did not furn untii a,t,r lho Marshall's deputies hud made their returns. The loss from this sourco must havo been at least 4,000 soma think it hi hcr. The number rei-orled oir.el-Ilv .t iht l""0 was 115. 438, whereas, upon tho ratio of increase alone, It would havo been 120,300. The Increase for three years upon the leu per ccnt ratio of increase, would bo as follows: mo, 120,300 '12.030 13'2,3.10 13.233 14J.S03 14,55a 1041, 1852, 1853, 160,110 It can be seen nt a glance, how nearly this corresponds with the actuul result. I havo no doubt that the Census of our inhabitants just Tlie ( 'ens us of It iltiinors in 1850, was 100, 155, and of lloston, 138,858. As neither nf these places have of late years been advancing in population at un cipu.tl ratio with this place, there can be no doubt -tliut in a few years our number will considerably exceed theirs, if, in deed, we do not cijtiul Button at this time. 'Diere are elements of substantial prosperity at work hero which will tend to keep up our present rate uf increase for years to come. Tho extent and vuriety of our manufactures, our commerce both by Hivcr and Itailroadt, tho the largo number of elegant and substantial building! in progress of erection ; show that the courso of the eity is atill onward in truiiiu ",c rt M wo" " 'n population, Tho Annuul statistics of the Human Catholic Church in this city havo lately been published for 1862. I havo taken notice in your columns in previous years, of these tablet, as they af ford m.lcriali for determining how fur tho Catholic clement keeps psco wi'h the advanco of tho rest of our population. The repoit for 1852 compared with tho previous years is as follows. Marriages, Baptisms, Deaths. 1S51, 1312. 3007, 1871 1852, 1314, 4034, '2407 and Deaths bear to each other in each year, (making allowance for the mortality from Choi era in 1849 and I860,) is remarkably uniform. Tho tampw atin fulling off in tho number of marriage, in the lust two years, may bo account- cd fur by the fact that a larger share of the German emigrants that reach this placo muke for tho country, than formerly. Ciuciiinulti, also, is not so extensively the landing place for them as it once was. Tho emigration toMichigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, passes tn Iho Laku ports by way of Buffalo, or to St. Louis and other places on tho Mississippi river. The incrcaso also, relatively, of Irish as compared with German emigrants, serves to account for tho diminished number of marriages. The great body of German who reach here are un married persons with tho Irish emigrant the contrary 1 tho case. There are a much lurgcr number of tho luticr class coming among us than formerly i I see that they constitute al most one-half of the Catholic population, ant) in a lew year will cipuul tho German, at the present rate of incrcaso. Tho incrcaso of members of tho Bo man Church corresponds very nearly with our wholo city iiicrcuto of population that it, ten per cent snnufily. The proportion of that com munion to all other i as 38 to 05, which is about lho propoi lion it hut borne fur twclvo or fifteen ycur past. Any ono can sco fioin this thut the foreign clement is a very impnr- taut ono in the character of our citv. y0u may bo aware of the fact that tho Coin- mitsioner. appointed to locate and provide 1 l-l""'i for tho two new Lunatic Asylums, uu tuorucu oy me i,cgisisiuro year since, i.ave determined to build ono near Cleveland, the uticr near Dayton. To lho location of the lat , , di.,a,i,ection hat been expressed . ... . .. . , . , , 0Ur coll' of ground near thi place of 75 acre was offerd for the purpose, very convenient of access by Kail road: and owing to the Urge tax paid by thi county for tue Upporl or the insane, and Iho largo 'number in our Hospital, and always to befound tn . city 0f this size, the institution oucht to have been located near this place. The truth tho publii good bad liule weight in deter- mining the eolootion. The Committee mado at rirst, by lobbying and Intrigue, of Day- ton men men who were interested in Sotu way or other in Dayton properly and were bent on having it located thor. Mr. Cist, a minority of the Comoaittee.ha made a rcport.selting forth thocluiinsof Cincinnatti.and the subject is before the Legislature. I have not heard of any final ac tion upon it, but if the location of the Attylura at Dtyton should bo oonflnned, il will be against all the best intorests of the institution. Neither convenience nor necessity point tn Dsyton as the best site, but the property hold ers, mechanics, fce. of the place will reap some bcneCt from the erection of such a large cdilico there, which was the consideration, indeed, which decided the location. Yours P. I Wish to be Understood. ! B' form la eonciracd. I do must aineerely re is, j l'rcl "'i" occurrence I cannot favor it I am ' '" fellowship with cither it, ar it support up ers whether individuals or societies. But I Mn. Euitau i It seems that my article tn the membeia of two late llible Convention, has been misunderstood at least by Mr. Walker, and perhaps by other ; and nt I wish to do justice to all parties, I shall stir nipt an expln iiation-en.lnnvouri.m to ... ..,... ,.lv ' aa may bo fully understood by all who havo ! nnv Interct in the mutter. Mr. W. inlrniluees his review of my nrticlo by saying i I think the writer doea ihe nirin hers of the American Anti-Slavery Society in justice;: 'in holding them responsible for I I.f said (Uihlc) Convention." Now ir Mr. W. means lo say that I held tho American Anti Slavery Society in its official character, in any senso responsible for either Iho cxislcnco or proceedings of the 11 suid convention," ho it entirely mistaken, and ci nu t to u conclusion that I think no other man could have arrived at. There is not a word ia my cntiro article from which .ucii an iiifereuco ia dcducible. j But it' Mr. W.- simply means individual ( ' members" nf tho American Society, he 1 ' correct. 1 do hold some of them n-.oiisiUc : tor the "said convention," t least so l.ir astiis cull was cuiiceii.ril. Anaiu, Mr. Vf. nji "1 nlto think thnr "tho mi iiiliers n the couvcntlnu j are unfairly dealt wuu in neiuif cl..--e.. .m o ! eomCiiuter." This 1 presume to suine ex'i i.t 1 it the esse. Wh it cou.iituu-d iiieiiiber.bi;) in the convention, 1 don't exactly know. If Ihe ollieer. alone, were uicu.bei. of the conven tion, I do not presume that mm they, weic iH coii.eoiitcrs iu Ihe accepted sense ot Ihe term ; much less doaI believe that all w ho autended the convention were comeoutcM. Tliereforu injustice may have been done to ny w ho at Icudcil tho convention, in classing them with cr.mooutert, as they do not belong there, ncr wi-h to be classed with them. I think I feel as much disposed lo do thit class justice, as even Mr. W., and I therefor no say that I do not class many who uttcuded thu convention with comcouters j but muuy others I piisume I may cla-y lli-re, lor thcro they belong, and there th'cy wish to heclasscd. I hope I will be understood by both those classes. Then Mr. V., after proceeding at length to1 stato what he calls facts, arrived at the conclu sion, that, I held the Western Anti-Sluvcry Society responsible for the " said convention," or if he docs not, thcro is " no sense" in tho following remarks. Mr. W. says ; Eipecial ly to hold a w hole tocicty responsible for what none but those present ever heard individuals say lho Western Anti- Slavery Society had no more to do with the convention than Mr. Sclby, who was si.k and in bed." How easy it is when wo start out upon false premises, to arrive ut ' silly" con clusions. Mr. W. bases this assumption nf his, on this saying of miuo : " I huce alio defended ptrtonally ayainit the charyi of infidelity, many of thi nanus that I tei in thi pnwcedinji of the contention, bat I can aefmd on in tliit leim ho longer." Sut. Or at least, this it the only word that could have been construed to havo tho least reference to audi a conclusion. From this stngulur conclusion, Mr. W. proceeds at length to defend the society showing what tho " glory" of tho society is, and w li.it it " ever has been" thut il udmit loitt plaif.uui and fellowship, "Christian or IulUcl, Jow or Mormon," a the cuso may be. I know this i. the peculiarity ol the society. There nru soci eties which urt held responsible lor what their members do, but not so with iho Auti-Sluvery Society, U seems to be something distinct from its members, in every senso except one, and this makes it necessary for those who speak or write anything cnn.orning the society, or its members, to be very precise in whut they any ; or thcro will be a loop hUe found, and a mani fest disposition on the part of individuals, to dodge responsibilities. Now that lbs Western Ami-Slavery Society at inch, had no more lo do with the convention than Mr. Sclby," I uiu rosily to admit ; nor did I ever claim that it hud I never thought it had I don't now think it had, bul in an individual sense, ma ny" members of the society hud much more to do with tho convention thuu huJ " Mr. Sclby," or than ho would w i.h to have i and in this sense alone did I intend to address my como outer friends. Iliad only rel'erenco "to the members of the convention " and lo individual comcouters, und not to societies in any sciinc whatsoever, t hope 1 uui undcittooU iu this. Now .tuning nut fuiily, 1 wish to say to conic outers, and ull other, who favored Ihe Bible Convention, either in it. cull, or resolutions ; or who favor thu idea of rejecting the Uiblo a. a rule of faith and eon lu t to man you have a perfect right so tn do, and I would not take this, your liberty from you ; but I niu.t tuko tho liberty, (which liberty you also allow,) to dissent fro in the whole movement, as being unnecessary, and wrong injurious to your- elves, and lo the Anti-Slavery Society, (in j " much muny " )'nu ro members in tho Moiety,) and also detrimental to all the into- 1 e,t' "f humanity, ao fur aa the good woik of wish to sy a few words more with reforcneo ' to Mr. W'a. review of my article, and I do this ! for hit bene&t, aa well aa for tho beneUt of others. Mr. W. teemed very scalou in hi effort, throughout the greater part of hi remark, to elear the American and Western societies, of all reiponaibiHty rot tha existence tl In Bible convent:on I assuming they had been Ihu ohsrged by me, and he even labored aa though he wished tho people to believe him In earnest, and that he believed himtelf, what he laid. But all at once aa if by magtc, he seem to un derstand me perfectly well t aa addressing my remark to members nf "the convention," and to individuals in particular he at once seems IaLmw wh.ltl (. I rftort" from wrh.t t "d'sscnt" who have 'sscrificed talcnta' who have rejecttd the Bible" from w hom I "die band," and upon whose names I think 'sad realities will fall." Mr. W. ssysi ' Why have !... M.tiisn fnll li.fi. !i1 ri.irall thn tVhtsi! On the ground that It sutaint shivery, poiigw-' mv. and other crimes. They believe that tha)' Bible Is the bulwark of American S.avery, end alto other wrongs that torment and afflict lhs) rn. e." Again ho says t ' They think that ma ny of the lem hniKs nf the Bible, favor war, slavery, lying, incest, concubinage, and other forms i.t wronir,, and thcrelore will not reeiver it as divine." Mr. W., In all this admits alt that I ever charged upon any persons, and do moustrates that ho understood me to mcatv individual com 'outers, and not a society) for if he did not understand mo to mean Indiridu' uli, he m'ii have understood mo to mean the' A..1I twin,, .n.l ItAMM IF h. at ..J-.L. stands me corre. tir, and Is defending individu sis, there is no cause of complaint ho admit) all I have i harged upon any ( hut if he mesne tho society in his defence, ho admit in a dirsc- iion inui l never mienueu ma1- " inrv nn soe'cii ) nave reiectcu mo oinio i aim ny uu iiihnissior he bus awalloned up Iho main part of his ilcicnce, and Inys the same charge vpon ; the society that ho wouhl lain m ;l;c others be l.eiullali audit, ( ir inui) p.r.n,) ought to buhl Kim resousihlo lor it. Let Mr. W. t ike which horn nf the dilemma ho may, he : t. .. il-M.lv liivf,lvil I.I him t.liiiri.e. ..riit.st either iiiilivulis.il-, or lho so. iely, at I C4ud have been thit every one must readily see. , If Mr. W. really clniins to be sincere in what' he has said in his review of my article, such' strangn Itienherencles as nre tet loflh, coming at they do front such a high source, should only cause a laugh." Now Mr. V., I hare. tried in tin -.11 l.nrlin. li.slipnKi.tl. rl.. .n-ti.C. , .1 j , , convention, and yourself shall I have justice) utfiiv me; S ll'.lllS.

I have IrifMl to act myself right in this article, and I think you '. will understand me I lliiuk the society will understand both you and me; and I also think I understand you, und the society ; and I hope every body clso will understand us all. I have mado thit article somewhat lengthy, but justice to all parties seemed lo require all that , I have said. In all good feeling I am your for a fair on dcrstunding. N. N. SELBY.
