(cont. of doc 251) Candid character-sketch of officeholder candidates & broad denunciation of the naval/Frémont regime: warns of 'disaffected men, dishonest & scheming, at whose head are Stockton & others, whose lawless acts have… damaged their reputations'; 'the mad, lawless & tyrannical schemes and acts of Frémont, Stockton, & other officers of the Navy on shore, have produced a lukewarmness in the hearts of many true Amns'; the Alcaldes throughout Cal. have been since the raising of the flag 'but a mockery to law & justice, assuming & exercising prerogatives & powers far beyond any clothed them by the Mexn or U.S. laws… a total disregard of all law, justice, reason and right'; on judges: Bryant, Alcalde of SF, 'a man of education, honest & pure, but for all that unfit for judge or legislator… his reasoning faculties are bad'; Hastings 'too little talent… strongly suspected of being leagued with the Mormons'; Jones 'has talent enough, but is a Mormon, and a villain of the deepest dye'; Russell 'a mere bag of puffed-up, bloated wind'; recommends looking among the recent overland emigrants for strong-minded upright men
