LXIV DECEMBER, 1930 No. 12 THE LIBERATOR BIDS FAREWELL TO THE CITIZENS OF GREATER COLOMBIA COLOMBIANS: You have witnessed my efforts to establish Liberty where Tyranny had formerly the ascendant. Sacrificing my fortune and my tranquillity, I have labored with disinterestedness. I renounced the supreme command, because you were distrustful of the integrity of my intentions. My enemies have abused your credulity, and trampled upon what I held most sacred;-my reputation for love of liberty. I have been the victim of my persecutors, who have brought me to the precincts of the grave. I pardon them. In disappearing from among you, my affection for you admonishes me, that I ought to signify my last wishes. I aspire to no other glory than the consolidation of Colombia. All ought to exert themselves to maintain the inestimable blessing of the Union;-the people by obeying the present Government, that they may deliver themselves from a state of anarchy;-the ministers of the Sanctuary by offering up their prayers to Heaven; and the military by using their swords in defence of the social guarantees. Colombians: My last wishes are for the happiness of my country. If my death will contribute to reconcile the parties and to consolidate the Union, I shall go down to the tomb in peace.
