Love of the Ladies and Massachusetts Population Shift
The piece opens with lyrical lines about loving the ladies, then shifts to Massachusetts census data. It notes 973,715 residents in Massachusetts, 239,457 more than 1840, and discusses potential increases in congressional representation. It argues population growth stems from domestic manufacturing, railroads, and agricultural value, suggesting Massachusetts may gain political influence without deliberate effort as industry expands.
