The Celebration of the Anniversary of the Battle
of Bunker Hill, at Boston, on Monday, was a bril-
liant affair. The Hon. EDWARD EVERETT deliver
ed the Grafton, which is said to have been one of
his happiest efforts 1t is published entire in the
Boston papers. Mr.. EVERETT commences by a
comparison of the condition of things on the spot
aBthis day. and that presented on the 18th of june
l775. He gives rapid sketch of the principal
incidents of the battle, and aludes to the important
influence produced by its result upon the revou-
tionary war. He briefly reviews the causes which
led to the Declaration of Independence, and COM
pares the ease with which republican Governments
were established here with the disastrous expert
ments of other nations; shows that the ends of the
revolution were not fully accomplished until the
Union of the States was formed; that this Union,
which is the source of all their prosperity, the
necessary result of their conditions and that, among
other important considerations, its preservation is
essential to the spread of the principles of peace.
The orator refers to the great changes which are
going on in human affairs, to the influence of our
example on foreign nations, and closes with pa.
triotic exhortation to the people Of this country to
emulate the example of their fathers.
