The enumeration was taken last January , and if the population then numbered 1 , 842 , 265 , it cannot now be far short of two millions . About three-fourths of the population are native Canadians . The French , from a little over 60 , 000 at the conquest , have risen to 660 , 52 S , in spite of the recent large emigration of that race to Illinois and other parts of the United States .
