Espíritu Nacional

Abstract

The image contains news about the hope and patriotism of the people. Although it is worrying to think that the peace that New Granada enjoys could be threatened by the European power that would be least expected, it is very encouraging to observe the enthusiasm and patriotic ardor of all Granadans willing to defend the independence of their nation. In the province of Bogotá, in particular, citizens and retired officers have offered personal sacrifices rather than allowing the dignity of the republic to be violated. The president's proclamation has been widely disseminated and received with great enthusiasm in all parish districts of the province. which is solid proof that, despite political differences in temporal matters, when it comes to preserving national laws and dignity, unity and determination prevail. News published in the newspaper El Constitucional De Cundinamarca, No. 274, December 25-1836.
