This probably refers to Sherman's Compromise, in which representation in the lower house of the US Congress (the House of Representatives) was based on state population, with slaves counting as 3/5 of a person for determining representation (the slave states wanted slaves to count equally, for obvious reasons; the non-slave states didn't want them to count at all, for equally obvious reasons).
