1822 June 21.
Junctiana Proposal

The cession - shall it be gratuitous? Shall
it be for a price? if for a price, By whom paid? By Columbia
in the whole? By Columbia and the proposed Company
in shares? and if so, in what shares? questions these,
which, of necessity, must, in the present stage of
the business, be left unanswered.

Thus much, however, may even here
be mentioned: namely, that if by Mexico a price
is looked for, self-regarding prudence may remain
or not remain, there at any rate ends benevolence:–
effective benevolence - with whatever glory encircles
a virtue of such matchless rarity among nations.
There ends that Glory to Mexico, and there commences
embarrassment and obstruction. to the On
a possession such as that in question, who shall fix
a value? On what ground can it be fixed? With an
amount fixed upon without grounds, who will be
satisfied? Be it what it may, who will be content to
pay it? Meantime, thus much may be answered in
the negative, and thence what follows from it in the
affirmative. No preference must there be, in respect of the price of
transit. By any such preference, the simplicity of the
plan would be destroyed: the merit of it as towards all
other nations would be destroyed: in this shape, an advantage
could not be given to Mexico by Columbia
agains herself without its being given as against
all other nations. This shape being set aside, money
would seems therefore be to be the only shape in which,
if in any, advantage could, on any such sense, be granted.
