Gray and Colonel Graham should iiave been recalled under these circumstances. Both were able officers. Colonel Graham had rendered distinguished service on the Northeastern Boundary, and was selected for his peculiar fitness for the position. It is true he has been succeeded by a very al)le and accomplished officer — Major Emory. But it is obvious that the motive of the recall of Colonel Graham and Mr. Gray was to enable Commissioner Bartlett to carry out this unfortunate and illegal agreement ...for the surrender to Mexico of a large and valu- able territory belonging to the United States. 6 It cannot admit of doubt, that in assuming to direct Mr. Gray to sign the agreement of Jlartlett and the Mexican Commissioner fixing the initial point, the Secrrinry of tlie Interior arrogated to nimself a power wiiich, under tlie treaty, was confided to tlie United States surveyor, and which tlie Secretary had no right to control. If he had the right to exercise any sucli power, it is to be regretted that he did not exert it in favor of the United States.
