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 priced ////ed for, self-regarding prudeness may remain, there at any rate ends benevolence:- effective benevolence - with whatever glory encircles a virtue of such matchless rarity among nations. There ends that Glort to Mexico, and there commences embarrassment and obstrcution, ????. On a possession such as that inquestion, 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.
