It was objected to St. Clair's scheme that it would postpone the formation of the State, which was true enough, and that his purpose was to carve out a territory of which he could be governor for life, which was absurd. His scheme failed to command the support of Mr. Harrison, who was a State man, and of Congress, but it did not fail to add to St. Clair's growing unpopularity. On May 7, 1800, an act was ap- proved constituting all that part of the Northwest lying west of the treaty-line of 1795..., from the Ohio to Fort Recovery, and a line drawn from the fort to the international boundary, a separate territory, to be called Indiana Territory. The act made Chillicothe and Vincennes the two capitals, until oth- erwise ordained by the respective legislatures; and said, when- ever the territory east of the meridian of the mouth of the Great Miami River should become an independent State, thenceforth said meridian should be the boundary between the new territory and such State. The Virginia colony of Ross County were very influential in bringing about this legislation.
