Rid Yourselves
Lett. 18. Relinquishmt Plan
VI.11. 33 or 15.
True, to no President
would it be pleasant
to divide his patronage
and other power, with
three others. when
Scotch Supreme Judicatory
was divided
into two branches,
so chagrined was the
President, rather than
be but half, he chose
to be nothing. But
he was in forlife.
U.S. President, only
for four years. By
no succeeding ones
would loss be felt: each
one's quarter of the
Presidentcy would be
all gain.
VI 12. 34 or 16.
To influentials in U.S.
such decomposition
can not but have
been an object of
consideration: else
that settlement in on the
Pacific could not have
been made.
By union of the Spanish
territories in the

for peace and amity
in the Pacific would
be, and to them would
appear to be, greatly
encreased.

Lett. 18. Relinquishmt Plan
VI.13 35 or 17.

in prospect, not in experience.
For industry,
by Soloman, the Sluggard
was sent to the :
for self-government nations
should be sent
to U.S.
VI.14 36 or 18.
Let the Spanish provinces
in the Pacific consent
to join the Anglo-American
Union, and
for the present become
members of it, on terms
the same, in principle,
as those agreed to by
Spanish rulers as to
Louisiana. In this, nothing
extravagant or
even wide of practice.
Not likely ever to recur
is an opportunity such
as this.
VI 15. 37 or 19.
Whether any money,
and what, would be
given now by U.S. J.B.
has no means of
judging.
