A Nuestros Compatrias del Salvador. Salvadorenños como Vosotros, Amantes de Nuestra Comun Patria... [caption title and first line of text]

[San Salvador?], 1863. Very good.. 4pp., on a bifolium. Folio. Portion of lower margin torn away, otherwise light edge wear. A fascinating and rather lengthy anti-Barrios address by his conservative opponents and would-be deposers in El Salvador. José Gerardo Barrios Espinoza was elected president of El Salvador in 1860, following several stints as interim head of state. The present work attacks Barrios' character, the "abyss of evils" that he has brought upon the country, and compares him unfavorably with every other Central American leader. The final page announces that the signers are joining the invasion of the country by Guatemala and its president Rafael Carrera, and defends their choice as one necessary to rid El Salvador of its liberal leader. The Guatemalan and conservative Salvadoran forces succeeded in ousting Barrios in October 1863, nine months after the printing of this document. Very scarce, OCLC locates just one copy, at the National Library of Chile.
