These numbers are from the Census of 1810, not 1820. "Blacks" includes both slaves and free colored. Some of the numbers are wrong. The correct numbers are

This data is from the Historical Census Browser at the University of Virginia Library (http://mapserver.lib.virginia.edu). It has full census data from 1790 to 1960, down to the county level. A superb resource, with a very slick interface.

I do note that the UVa data doesn't include any Territories.

Those are compiled figures drawing on several sources. By all means post them as well, but I was focusing on figures actually published at the time in individual contemporary sources.
