Junctiana Proposal.
§3. Mexico
S.3. Mexico —sacrifices constantly eventually requisite-inducements
to compliance.
For accomplishment of the measure upon
the plan here submitted, the following are among the conditions
necessary.1. that the expence be defrayed-not by the
Government to which the territory belongs, but by a joint Stock
Company.
2. that, for their security, the dominion, of the territory
through which the communication is made, be
ceded to the Company.
3. that the dominion so ceded have_not on both
sides of it a territory belonging to one and the same Government;
but, on one side, a territory belonging to one Government,
namely Mexico; on the other side of it, a territory belonging
to another government, namely Columbia:
4. that, for security to the capitalists, members
of the Joint Stock Company, the territory in question, as
well as for the benefit and satisfaction of all other nations
interested, be taken under the protection of the Anglo-American
United States:- of all other nations interested: which
is as much as to say, of all the other nations of the earth
On this plan, at the hands of Mexico, certain
sacrifices will, on certain suppositions, be requisite.
1. In Mexico has any such idea as yet been entertained,
as that of executing the enterprize within her own
dominions, and with capital to no greater amount than
could be either raised by taxes, or obtained in some way
or other from proprietors, subjects of her own Government?
In Columbia there seems some ground for supposing that a
conception to the like effect may perhaps have been entertained
in relation to herself: forwasmuch as, many
month ago, a competent person was sent out from Europe
by Columbia to make surveys in this view: and on
any such occasion, its own internal resources are the ways and
means which a government would naturally look to, before
it thought of other extraneous ones.
