Junctiana Proposal Mexicos Inducements
In this state of things supposing the part
-nership plan rejected, if it were not really the interest, it
would at any rate appear to be the interest, of all classes
in the Republic of Columbia, to act in a manner more
or less decaredly hostile to Mexico: to obstruct the settlem
-ent of the Government: to foment divisions: to keep the
country in such a state of poverty, as should oppose an in
-superable bar to her putting herself in possession of so exclu
-sive and invidious an advantage.
All this while, what should never be
put out of mind, is- that for all these surmises, unplea
-sant as they are, not any of the parties concerned, but
the penner of this proposal, and he alone is answerable.
TheAll individuals, on whom any thing depends being on
both sides alike unknown to him, the propensities so
universal in human nature constitute the only source,
from whence these indications of probable hostility
have been derived.
A much more pleasing object of con
-templation to him is the state of amity-cordial and
durable amity-which the sort of partnership here pro
-posed could not fail to number among its natural
fruits. The infant state would behold in them its com
-mon parents. In the Anglo American Union, of whose
kindness the Columbian Republic has had such re
-cent experience, and at whose hands the Mexican
State has so sure and anticipation of the like kindness,-
they would behold a common friend: and a friend in case of
misunderstanding, whether on these or any other points,
a common reference- a reference such as for impar
-tiality,probity and sound sense, has assuredly never
as yet been matched in the history of nations.
One advantage, however, it must be con
-fessed there is, of which, in this plan, Mexico would put
herself exclusively in possession: an advantage in which
neither any other nation, nor even Columbia herself,
could claim any the least share. This is the glory of
so extraordinary, not to say unexampled a manifesta
-tion, of the union of those two virtues to which all other virtues are reducible - effective benevolence and with self-
regarding prudence. In fact it would be nothing more than
