OHIO. In the case of every State except Ohio, Congress has passed a distinct and definite act of admission, or has provided for an admission on the issue of a proclamation by the president. The people of Ohio elected delegates to a convention, by whom a Constitution was formed (1802), which, in January, 1803, was submitted to Congress for ratification; and on the 19th of the following month the president approved the first act which recognized the new State.
