1822 June 22d
Junctiana Proposal Mexicos Inducements

In this state of things supposing the partnership
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 settlement
of the Government: to foment divisions: to keep the
country in such a state of poverty, as should oppose an insuperable
bar to her putting herself in possession of so exclusive
and invidious an advantage.

All this while, what should never be
put out of mind, is- that for all these surmises, unpleasant
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 contemplation to him is the state of amity-cordial and durable amity-which the sort of partnership here proposed could not fail to number among its natural fruits. The infant state would behold in them its common parents. In the ANglo American Union, of whose kindness the Columbian Republic has had such recent experience, and at whose hands the Mexican State has had 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 impartiality, probity and sound sense, has assuredly never as yet been matched in the history of nations.
