1822 June 22d.
Junctiana Proposal

§. 5. Inducements common to Mexico and Columbia
§. 6. Inducements applying alike to Mexico & Columbia,
the Anglo American United States.

For the next Section it is reserved the consideration
of the more striking benefit in which, upon the proposed
plan, these two new States will see the old established
Republic of the Anglo American United States
sharing with them, and yet without detriment to themselves,
or either of them, in any shape. What requir remains for the
present Section will not require many words.

The spot, ceded to the company for the formation
and security of the communication, will naturally
be a seat of new created opulence and population: elements
of prosperity, rapidly encreasing from the first, and
till the spot shall have been ma incapable of holding any more, for ever on the
encrease. Even by the hands of so many various descriptions
necessary to be employed upon it, the superintending
functionaries employed in the giving directions
to their labour, and the establishments civil and Military,
which scales of even such perfect frugality,
will still be necessary, new towns more than
will necessarily be set down upon it from the very
first commencement of the works.

A communication in any shape effected,
commercial Functionaries and Agents would immediately
repair to it from all nations, and with them
or after them men of all occupations from all nations
on both sides of the American Continent, the Asiatic
as well as the European. Junctiania, with its two
principal towns, one on the Atlantic, the orher on the
Pacific, would present to every eye the civilized world
in miniature.

The hands, of so many various descriptions, of whom
in such multitudes the labour would be necessary,
the functionaries, of the superintending class, whose
presence would be necessary for the giving direction
to all that labour, the members of the establishment
civil and military, which upon a scale of ever such
perfect frugality would still be necessary – all these multitudes
put together would form a sensible addition to the active
population and circulating wealth of the territory, even from the very commencement of the work.
