Among the nations invited by the United States to co-operate
in suppressing the trade was the United States of Colombia.
Mr. Anderson, our minister, expressed "the certain belief that
the Republic of Colombia will not permit herself to be behind
any Government in the civilized world in the adoption of
energetic measures for the suppression of this disgraceful
traffic": _Ibid._, No. 407, p. 729. The little republic
replied courteously; and, as a _projet_ for a treaty, Mr.
Anderson offered the proposed English treaty of 1824,
including the Senate amendments. Nevertheless, the treaty thus
agreed to was summarily rejected by the Senate, March 9, 1825:
_Ibid._, p. 735. Another result of this general invitation of
the United States was a proposal by Colombia that the
slave-trade and the status of Hayti be among the subjects for
discussion at the Panama Congress.
