This removal and that of the pres
| ent Register Of the Land Office at
Salt Lake are caused by what the
President deems the fanaticai and
extreme conduct of these officers, as
evinced by their violent attacks on
Governor AXtell and certain Sena-
tors who recommended his appoint
ment, and by several acts of Mexican
which are considered i'll advised,
tyrannical and in excess of his ju-
dicial powers.
