Los deplorables ecsesos de la actual insurreccion, debidos en parte á la suavidad con que el gobierno ha castigado a los rebeldes de Julio en 1856, y de Noviembre en 1857; en parte á una administracion de justicia sin vigor, pero mas que todo á esa mezcla de temor y egoismo que domina en el ánimo de los habitantes ... en donde los criminales se abrigan y mantienen ejerciendo el pillage favorecidos por un culpable disimulo

Circular issued by the state of Sonora, signed by the governor Ignacio Pesqueira, condemning the current rebellion and deriding the past leniency accorded by the government to the outlaws. Lists eight measures focused on apprehending those involved in unlawful activities, putting the onus on ranch owners and other citizens to turn the malefactors over to the authorities.
