New figures from the enclosed additional census of alabama, not found, were incorporated into the “Census of 1820. aggregate amount of each description of Persons in the United States and the Territories, according to the Census taken in virtue of the Act of Congress of March 14, 1820; the Act of March 3, 1821; and the Act of March 7, 1822; compiled from returns received at the Department of State” (Peter Force, The National Calendar, and Annals of the United States; for MDCCCXXIII [Washington, 1823], Table 1 in unpaginated section preceding almanac). The death of Alabama’s marshal, who had oversight of the census-taking process in 1820, led to incomplete returns for the state. Congressionally authorized completion of the count there led to adjustments of its population figures and expansion of the state’s congressional delegation from two to three representatives (U.S. Statutes at Large description begins Richard Peters, ed., The Public Statutes at Large of the United States … 1789 to March 3, 1845, 1845–67, 8 vols. description ends , 3:548–53, 651–2, 720 [14 Mar. 1820, 7 Mar. 1822, 14 Jan. 1823]).
