' TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!
_E Strect, Near Corner of 84, Marysville. . The editor of an interior paper,
columne, bas seen proper, fur political pur. poses, lo scek to throw obloquy upon the
officers and men connected with “Stevenson’s Regiment,” and by villification of an
upright, honorable aud gallant band of citizens and soldiers, has sought to accomplish
partisan ends, Unjust and unfounded as
are those strictures, if they had been conlined to abuse of myself, I should not have
deemed them worthy the least notice; for .
have lived in California nearly sixteen years
to little purpose, if my standing in the community can be affected by the slander of
mere political writers, whose motives, ob .
jects and ends are transparent. But when,
to reach me, a wholesale attack is made
upon every officer and man of the regiment
who came to California under my command
I deem it my duty (and I assume it with
great pleasure) to defend them; and that
you may judge how little justification there
is in truth for the misrepresentation which
. has been indulged in, I beg leave to recur
for a moment to a history of the regiment
from its organization until it was disbanded, and which forms so largea part of the
early and honorable bistury of California,
The idea of sending a regiment of volunteers to California originated with President Polk bimself. He tendered me the
command, and after its acceptance by me,
my selection as commander of the expedition was not only unanimously approved
by the Cabinet but by every member of the
New York delegation in the Senate and
House of Representatives of the nation, It
was understood between the President and
mysclf that the regiment should be organized as well for a permanent settlement of
the Pacific coast, as for the conquest of California, aod that if at the close of the war
California did not forma part of the United
States, the regiment should be disbanded
on the nearest United States territory on
the Pacific coast. As the entire direction
and control of its organization, equipment
and outfit was confided to me, I determined
to select both officers and men for their fature usefulness in a new country. How far
I was successful in this may be judged when
this simple bistory shall have been closed,
Upon receiving written authority to raise
and organize the regiment, the fact was announced through the newspapers of the city
of New York, and the tender of companies
was invited from every section of the State,
Fiom the numerous applications for authority to raise companies, ten were selected
with care, I reserved to myself the right
to select my own field officers, and left the
captains to determine upon their own subalterns, particularly instructing them in the
selection for the rank and file of their companies, to admit none who were not respectable in appearance and reputable in de.
portment, and as far as possible select
young men from the mechanical and indus.
trial classes of society, who were willing to
become permanent settlers of the Pacifie
coast, Asan inducement to mechanics, I
was authorized, and purposed to farnish
transportation for their tools of trade, and
a reasonable umount of stock, and in thie
particular my wishes were fully carried
ont. When the regiment embarked for California, it was under the command of the
following named officers, all of whom were
men of ability, standing and worth:
Henry 8S. Bourton, a Lientenant in the U.
S. Army—Lieutenant Colonel,
James A. Hardie, a Lieutenant in the U. .
8S. Army—Major.
J. L. Folsom, a Lieutenant in the U. 8.

These gentlemen were professors at the

/who know them, and I take pride ia saying
. not one is in arms against the Federal Govy(ernment,
Of the seven regiments raised in Califor. nia for the present war, there are 9, and in
the army ou the Atlantic side upwards of
. 25, of the rank and file of my old regiment,
/who hold commissions ranking from Jieu. tenant to colonel. In the Convention that
framed the Constitution of the State, in the
. Congress of the nation, aud in the Senate
and Assembly of the State of California
from its organization to the present time,
/and in the various county offices of trust
and honor, the regiment bas been more
fully and ably represented than any otber
class of men of the same number who came
to California since the discovery of gold.
. At this time, wherever they are to be found,
. from San Diego to the extreme borders of
the State, they rank among the most ree
pected, wealthy,and substantial tax-payers;
/and during their whule term of service I
. am not aware that they were ever charged
with the commission of an act of oppression
or fraud opon the inhabitants of the eoun. try where they were stationed. Without
any fear of contradiction, I publicly de‘clare that no three ships ever brought to
. the shores of California at any one voyage,
1,000 men, who bad among them a greater
umber of honorable and useful members
of society than tbe officers and men of my
old regiment.
. Of myself as itscammander, I have little
'tosay. I left my old home to become a
. permanent resident of California, I have
been here nearly sixteen years without
once returning to the Atlantic States, 1
. beve never been an idler or the associate
. of the rowdy or vagabond, here or elsewhere, or pandered to them for support or
influence, and I sball not do so now even
to secare my election, For fourteen years
I have been a resident of San Francieco,
and my course of life, both public and private, is well known to my fellow citizens,
For the first time in California, my name
(and without solicitation on my part) has
heea placed before the people of the State,
asa candidate for an important public ofi fice. Of my fitness for the place my fellowcitizens must form their own judgment
from the manner in which I have performed every duty of life, either public or private,

of the Tompkins, Wright and Marcy school).
ready at any time and place to peril every
thing dear In life, and life itself if necessary, ia en; port of the Union, the Constitution and the Flag of my country,
In the canvas for the office for which I
have been nominated, I will do nothing to
obtain any one’s vole or influence that an
hovorable man should not do, so that if I
fail in this election I shall not lose my own
self-respect, or do aught to derogate in the
least from that esteem of my fellow-citizens, in which I have reason to believe
they have ever held me,

Saye:
The law of the last Legislature requiring
‘the measorement of all firewood offered fur
. sale in this city, bas so far had a hard road
totravel. The inspectors have not been
. allowed to pursve even tenor of their way
. by pocketing their fees, but have been un. feelingly met at every point with obstacles
that would discourage any but our woodmeasurers, Yesterday, in the Twelfth District Court, Herman Alpin, Captain of the
. schooner Sarah Ann, began a suit, through
his attorney, E. E. Sawyer, against WoodMeasnrer Geo. Hudson and Sterling G.
Hopkine. He charges false imprisonment,
and lays his damages at $5,009. The alleged imprisonment which the complainant
characterizes as “false, malicious, and with.
out any reasonable canse,’’ consisted in the
arrest of Alpbin for a vivlation of the wood
law, and upon which charge he was adjudged not guilty, He saye that his defenee cost him $500. The other $4,500 he
. charges to the malicious deprivation of his
. liberty, subjection to great pain of body
. and mind, great exposure and injary to bis
. character, eredit and circumstances, and
. hindrance from performing hie lawful affairs and businese.
