Mexico and its Institute I see has already
the benefit of your protection: Central America will I hope
ere long, I , have a share in it. In Central that infant
America State, there are it appears two parties an Aristocratical
and a Democratical: but between them I flatter myself hope
rather honest rivalry than dangerous rivalry. Of one of them, of
whom a man of the name of Arie is at the head, I have
nothing more: except that, as I see by the votes
of the Electors he has been outvoted by the other — Del Valle
and yet which however has not prevented his being made
President by the Congress. In Del Valle I behold a rising
Sun, by whom from its center all late Spanish America will
if he lives be illuminated. What I suspect
For its chief foundation this conception has indeed a
speech of his own: but that foundation has for its support
facts in their nature too notorious to be questionable. Hat Had
he been a military man, he would have have been a dangerous
rival to you and Washington: as it is he is so far
self-divinement and disinterestness. Were it not for the
notoriety probativeness and notoriety of these facts, you
would think, though you would not say, I have been
fascinated and bribed by the notice he has taken of me
by applying to me for assistance in his quality of
legislator Codifier general constituted such by the constituted
authority of his new-born State: a copy of his letter
accompanies this. His account of himself when translated
and published will be a most interesting document. But
I have but one copy of it, am in absolute and immediate
need of it here, for various purposes, and therefore can not part with it, or I would send
it you.
