Mr. Speaker,

I must ask the Author of this legislation if this proposed state of Westsylvania will be brought before our Congress to be voted upon before being officially admitted as a state, or if it shall simply be admitted after the referendum.

I yield.

Mr. Speaker,

The National Assembly will hold a final vote on the Westsylvanian petition, in accordance with the Constitution.

I yield.

Mr. Speaker,

The measure brought by the gentleman from Charlottesville, is a wise and needful measure, justly suited to secure the future peace and prosperity of the inhabitants of these States. I have read it, with great admiration, as the product of good minds prompted by good hearts; it is, in all its provisions, fair, disinterested, and proprietous—and considering the good measure of blood and sweat spent in its conception, I may pronounce that no article more conducive to the safety and happiness of all Americans could be reasonably devised by any man.

I voted that the measure brought by the gentleman from Charlottesville be passed, and advise all Whigs to follow so.

I yield my time to the chair.

Mr. Speaker,

After talking with the Patriot deputy from western Virginia and proposed Westlyvainia, I have changed my mind on the issue of westlyvainia. The people of western Pennsylvania and Virginia want to create their own state. When I first came out against the proposed state, I believed it would be a problem since it would create a state doomed to fail because they are on opposite sides of the slavery debate. Now, I believe that people in western Pennsylvania aren't the radicals I was thinking they were.

I official support creating Westsylvania a new state and I fully support the resolution and urge my fellow Patriots to do the same.

I yield

Mr. Speaker,

The Western faction's position on this legislation is well-known. We have no objection to this legislation.

Debate having been closed, the Speaker called for a vote:

National Assembly Vote:

Moving into the final vote, the result was 62 in favor, 4 against.

Senate and President:

After a brief debate in the Senate the Westsylvania Resolution Act of 1791 passed with 26 votes in favor and 2 against, and was promptly signed into law by President Hancock.
