I showed the Governor General Wool's letter to me, which he said was in effect the same as the one addressed to and received by him at Sacramento.

He was so offended that he would not even call on General Wool, and said he would never again recognize him as an officer or gentleman.

We discussed matters generally, and Judge Terry said that the Vigilance Committee were a set of d---d pork-merchants; that they were getting scared, and that General Wool was in collusion with them to bring the State into contempt, etc.

I explained that there were no arms in the State except what General Wool had, or what were in the hands of the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco, and that the part of wisdom for us was to be patient and cautious.

About that time Crockett and his associates sent up their cards, but Terry and the more violent of the Governor's followers denounced them as no better than "Vigilantes," and wanted the Governor to refuse even to receive them.
