Convention, and that the said legislature and the inhabitants
of the district aforesaid be informed, that as the Constitution
of the United States is now satified, Congress think it unadviseable
to adopt any further measures for admitting the district of
Kentucky into the federal Union as an independent member
thereof under the Articles of Confederation and perpetual
Union; but that Congress thinking it expedient that the
said district be made a seperate State and member of the
Union as soon after proceedings shall commence under the
said Constitution as circumstances shall permit, recommend
it to the said legislature and to the inhabitants of the said
district so to alter their Acts and resolutions relative to
the premises as to render them conformable to the provisions
made in the said Constitution to the end that no impediment
may be in the way of the speedy accomplishment of this
important business
