The Bunker Hill Herald.

The celebration of the completion OF the Monu-
ment on Bunker Hill, one OF those great nation
al events oil which every will desire TO preserve
aull and authentic record. For the purpose OF gra-
ufying this patriotic desire, have prepared at We
~ great expense, and with much labor and care,
an elaborate and complete report of the whole pro
ceedngs of the day, illustrated by five magnificent
engravings. This we publish to-day in our "Week-
ly Herald"
This account includes verbatim report OF the
Grafton delivered by Daniel Webster-a report OF
the Grafton actually delivered-a ie-like iaith-
iul report, and not the cold, fnely-polished, and
tame discourse elaborated in the retirement OF the
study at Mansfield Many intelligent gentlemen OF
the highest standing in this city, who were present
al the celebration, have pronounced our report SUI
perior 10 the official one published IN Boston. Sc
yeral of our contemporaries have also had the can
dor TO bear testimony to the same fact Amongst
other testimonials TO the superiority land fidelity OF
the report we find the following from a respectable
and impartial source
from the Philadelphia Daily Chronicle.l

the New York Herald has the magnsnimity to make the

We could point to numerous passages as amply IL
Illustrative of the truth thus acknowledged, but we
do not deem it necessary thus to occupy our space.
What do the boobies of the Expressive Buffalo
Co,nmercial-the albany advertiser, and one or
two other equally intelligent papers who attempted
10 depreoate this report say now, that by the united
voice of numerous judicious auditors, and many
portions OF the press report has been pronounced
The best, and that too after comparison with that
termed the official one?
The illustrative engravings have been universally
admitted TO be of the highest excellence, both as
accurate delinealions of the interesting scenes de-
signed 10 be represented, and as specimens OF an
art, which has advanced amongst rapidly
within the last few years that its professors now
not unsuccessfully compete with those of London.
The view of the Monument on the day of the cele-
bratlonthe different views of the procession, in
GLIDING the interesting scenery through which it
passed-and the representation OF the battle, from
rare and valuable engraving executed shortly after
that memorable conflict, are all executed in the
best style OF art, add with the stricest fidelity.
The account OF the procession. and every incident
connected with the celebration, was made with
the greatest possible minuteness and accuracy.
