February 01, 1831

DOVER ENQUIRER, New Hampshire Feb.1, 1831  Page 3 has a proclamation signed in type by: Simon Bolivar, beginning: "Colombians! You have witnessed my efforts to plant Liberty where tyranny before reigned...I resigned the command when I was persuaded that you no longer had any confidence in my disinterestedness..." and ending with: "Colombians! -- should my death be the means of allaying the rage of party spirit & consolidating the Union, I go down in tranquility to the tomb." Indeed, he would die Dec. 17, 1830.
Four pages, bit of foxing & margin wear, nice condition.
