To the Supervisors appointed under the original plan? That
would be still recurring to the old farce of actum agere. It is
for them to be called upon to condemn their former choice &
make a new one? To condemn too the 12 Judges & their
high Colleagues who confirmed it? — Once again, to what
purpose & on what grounds?

Other Trustees then would be to be sought after
for the purpose. But who then shall they be? — In the
first place, by whom name? — By Administration? —
be it so. But at whose suggestion? — At the Proposer's?
— This again would be another farce. Without his privity
then or approbation? — Observe the consequence.
What shall be the force & measure of their influence? —
Decisive, absolutely binding upon him, it can never be.
It is out of his pocket that the money is to come for the
purchase of the land: it is out of his pocket that the money
is to come that is to be laid out upon it. From Administration
advances & assistances are to come, it is true: but this
does not vary the argument. Will it be expected of him
that he shall submit to see his money laid out for him,
his whole property perhaps disposed of, by he knows not
who, by persons who are not to be of his own choice? They
& he may agree, it is true, whoever they are. But what
if they disagree? There the plan sticks: as the original
one
