Junctiania Proposal
II. Second of the two mischiefs against which the guarantee
is looked for 2. Against misconduct on the part of the population
of Junctiana – misconduct whether in the general shape
of misrule or anarchy, or in the particular shape of
injustice towards the company, depriving them of the
possessions stipulated for by them, in return for the expence
to which this same population will, the greatest part of
it, have been indebted for its existence.
The Junctiana Territory being by the supposition
a Member of the United States: namely in the first instance
upon the footing of their other dependent territories, and,
as soon as ripe, upon the equal footing of an independent
Confederate, – the following are rights, for the enjoyment
of which the expectation of a guarantee on the part of the
Union, will scarcely present itself as unreasonable: understand,
a guarantee – not only against all other nations,
but against the Mexican and Columbian nations themselves,
their consent to it being included in the agreement.
1. Right of exacting the price of transit: so it be
for ever without enhancement, unless it be in certain
stipulated cases: 2. Right of receiving the rents and
profits of whatever lands the company is proprietor of,
as in the case of any other proprietor. Under these two
heads is comprized every thing that is seems necessary.
