The addresse was one of the editors of these two newspapers which were printed in the ancient printing press of the Trade Consulate, who at the moment of being published, the titles were given taking in account their specific topics: Trade of the New Kingdom of Granade, common currency of the autonomous provinces, the new general system of international and domestic policy, evennes of weights and measurement, richness of the Kingdom and urgent need to integrate a federation of its provinces. The main ideas that were proposed in these political letters before the public opinion of the Kingdom by the tunjano publicist were four: : The need to conform a common defense agreement of the neogranadian provinces that did not obey to the authority of the Regency, the community identification of their commercial interests , the characterization of the unequal trade that had existed in the previous "colonial system" and the proposal to build a new political organization that, based on provincial states, it will conform a federation new Granada and someday reach a league of nations in an American Continental Congress.
