Description
-
She states her opinion on the state of the country and the proper candidate for Parliament. She highlights the need for piety, virtue, sobriety, and modesty. The lack of values and courage have led to "the eve of a National Bankruptcy." The proper leader must be devoted to the public and have a good understanding, not coveting a Parliamentary seat but must sacrifice for the principle of justice, with charity and love of God and country.
