The act of congress, of June 15, 1836, establishing the northern boundary line of the state of Ohio and providing for the admission of Michigan into the union, required that the assent of a convention of delegates elected by the people for that purpose be given.
The delegates were elected September 12, 1836, in pursuance of an act of the state legislature of July 25, 1836. The conditions presented by the aforesaid act of congress, cutting off Toledo and vicinity from the limits of Michigan and giving that territory tc the state of Ohio, were rejected by this convention.
·(a) These figures were taken from senate documents of 1835, and do not include the vote of Kalamazoo county-453 for and 15 against the constitution, as per re- turns in the secretary of state's office.
