Lett. 18. Relinquishmt Plan
1.
Main question, what
the best gain grace.
Proved – relinquishment
should be all-comprehensive:
thus most
profitable & honorable.
2.
1. Terms: consideranda
here. State of provinces
as to subjection
viz
1. Dominion Compleatly cast off
2. Contexted.
3. Uncontested.
3.
Terms
1. Gratuitous
2. For a price.
For a price to be paid
1. By inhabitants – redemption
money.
2. Or by foreign power –
purchase money.
◻︎1 4.
Gratuitous plan – its
advantages
1. Most extensively applicable.
2. Most surely effectual
3. Most honorable.
1. Aplicable to all thoseree
states as to subjection.
2. Surely effectual, requiring
but one set
of wills.
◻︎2 5.
From the already in Case 1.
1. Subjection cast off.
a In this case the Gratuitous is the only plan applicable.
Nothing will
be given in this case
either by inhabitants
or foreigners. To a note
must be left to say
what provinces are
in the several States:
while this is writing,
refractoriness may
have ripened into independence,
submissiveness
into refractoriness
or even independence.

profitable": from
them at their own expence

Lett. 18. Relinquishmt Plan
◻︎.1. 21 or 4.
Case 1 Subjection contested:
hands Ultramarian. Provinces Province, here not
great.
Rulers established
with funds thus applicable,
none. Influential
few not likely
to take an active part
in finding money for
self redemption
"Spaniards", (they will
say) "if they free usal
all, will gratis: attempt
to gain by force will
cost more than they
can hope to receive.
They will not expect to be able to extort
money from us,
whle they are giving
it up to others.
To 19
III. 2 19 or 2.
Case II Subjection contested poss supposable hands purchasing Ultramarian.
Here, if habit of
obedience to home rulers be so far established
as to yield money
for contestation,
so may it for redemption.
Inducement is here adequate,
so far as expence of redemption is recognized
as less than damage
by contestation.
---page break---
III.2 20 or 3.
Objections in this case
1. As to right to demand.
Such demand is contrary
to Art. 8. which
declares equality of rights
2. As to power of supply
– thence of receipt.
Of the means of contestation,
small will have
been the portion in the
shape of money: for
pay, plunder in kind.
IV.1 22 or 5.
Case III Subjection contested;
hands foreign:
money, redemption
money. Necessary
here; – are two conditions:- 1. In the province
disposition to submitt
to foreigners, though not
to Spaniards. 2. Preferences
of such subjection
to independence.
2. Otherwise, in the foreign
power a disposition
to pay money for
a pretence for engaging
in the war. For a pretence
so easily made,
no money will be given
if it be too much trouble
to make it, no pretence
for universal wa war
and despotism may be
had of any lawyer for
a few dollars.–
IV.2. 22 or 5 contind.
Rulers who, in lieu of
dollars, give pensions
or office, do so from sympathy,
not necessity.
