STATISTICS OF POPULATION.
The Memorial Diplomatique gives the following interesting account of the density of population in the great centres of humanity throughout the globe:
There are nine cities having a population exceeding one million souls, viz .: London, 3,251,000; Soochon, 2,000,000; Paris, 1,825,000; Pekin, 1,648,080: Ycddo, 1,554,000; Canton,- 1,236,000; Constantinople, 1,075,000; Siang-tan, in the province of IInnan, 1,000,000; and Tehan-tchaon-foo, in the province of Tokion, 1,000,000. It will be seen, that, although London holds the first place, the Chinese Empire can still boast of possessing more populous cities than all the civilized States of the West. The number of cities possess ing a population ranging from above half a million up to a million, is twelve, viz. : New York, Vienna, Berlin, Hank-kaow, Philadelphia, St. Petersburg, Bombay, Calcutta, Fow-chow, Tchening, Bangkok, and Kiato. Twenty cities have a population of from 300,000 to 400,000 inhabitants; thirty-three of from 200,000 to 300,000, and ninety of from 100,000 to 200,000. Europe alone possesses one hundred and seventy-one cities contain ing more than 50,000 inhabitants, at the head of which stand London, Paris, Constanti nople, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg.

CONSTITUTION OF INDIANA.
PREAMBLE.
To the end that justice be established, public order maintained, and liberty perpetuated, we, the people of the State of Indiana, grateful to ALMIGHTY GOD for the free exercise of the right to choose our own form of government, do ordain this Constitution.
ARTICLE I.
BILL OF RIGHTS.
SECTION 1. We declare, That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that all power is inherent in the people; and that all free governments are, and of a right ought to be, founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and well being. For the advancement of these ends, the people have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their gov. ernment.
SEC. 2. All men shall be secured in the natural right to worship Almighty God, according to the dictates of their own consciences.
SEC. 3. No law shall, in any case whatever, control the free exercise and enjoyment of religious opinions, or interfere with the rights of con- science.
SEC. 4. No preference shall be given, by law, to any creed, religious society, or mode of worship; and no man shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry, against his consent.
SEC. 5. No religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office of trust or profit.
SEC. 6. No money shall be drawn from the treasury for the benefit of any religious or theological institution.
SEC. 7. No person shall be rendered incompetent as a witness in conse. . quence of his opinions on matters of religion.
SEC. 8. The mode of administering an oath or affirmation, shall be such as may be most consistent with, and binding upon, the conscience of the person, to whom such oath or affirmation may be administered.
SEC. 9. No law shall be passed restraining the free interchange of thought and, opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write, or print,
755
756
APPENDIX.
freely, on any subject whatever; but for the abuse of that right, every person shall be responsible.
SEC. 10. In all prosecutions for libel, the truth of the matters alleged to be libellous may be given in justification.
SEC. 11. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search or seizure, shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or thing to be seized.
