regalia, attracted great attention.
From some misunderstanding the fremen

reached the pavilion on Bunker Hill, about
three o'clock which was Immediately filled
by at least 1000 people, and rs many thou

amidst tremendous cheering,
The exercises comprised an eloquent pre-
sen.ation by Hon. Edward Everett, who, in
behalf of the Committee, presented the stat
no to the Bunker Hill Monument Associa.

Interesting and imposing ceremonies were
then performed by the Grand Master and
assistant officers OF the Grand Lodge Of
Massachusetts,. inaugurating the statue in
accordance with Masonic forms. John I.
Heard, Gr md Master, delivered short I'D
dress, and an original hymn was sung dur
ing these ceremonies. Addresses were then
delivered by Gov. Gardner, Of Massachusetts,
Governors Dyer Of Rhode Island. and Holley
of Connecticut, Hon. Robert c. Winthrop,
Hon. j. NJ. Mason, of Virginia, and Hon.
John p. Kennedy, Of Maryland.
The exercises concluded by the singing OF

Though the wholesale execution Of Mr..

Changes in the Portland Custom House.

It is announced that changes in the Port.
land Custom House are already commenced
Six heads have already been brought to the
block, and other executions will shortly bs
made. The patronage of this Office is large.
No less than $32 ,0lG,Ol was expended ut
this Custom House during the year ending
June 30, 1856, distributed among % per
sons.

The reign of the shareholders has now
lairly commenced. On the lst of May,
1857, Moses Mcdonald entered upon the
discharge OF the duties of the Office Of COL
lector Of Portland. The reward Of treach.
cry was by him accepted, and the man who
voted to repeal the Missouri Compromise,
and to give up the fair fields Of Kansas to
the curse and degradation Of slavery, has,
in defiance of public opinion, in the face Of
an outraged community, put himself for
ward Us the champion Of the Shareholder,
and of his cause.
Had Mcdonald quietly slipped into his
place, and floatcd along with the stream,
his former errors would have gradually gone
out ofmind, ard he would have been allow
cd to pocket the thirty pieces Of silver in
silence. But no he made parade OF do.
votion to the extreme views of his Southern
masters, and boldly dcfes tho moral senti-
ment Of the community. His conduct ex-
cites attention and remark from the manner
in which he uses the power of his Office.
The reputation which followed Aaron Burr,
must await tho man who has committed
q political offence which surpasscs in cnor.
nifty. anything that was ever charged upon
Burr by his enemies. The crime ofattcmpt-
ing to seize upon the territory ola ncighbor-
ing and friendly power, consigned Aaron
Burr to obscurity, while the offence Of aiding
the introduction of slavery into FREQ State,
is publicly rewarded.
With all this parade Of Importance at his
success, We think the new Collector feels far
less real satisfaction than the hulnblest man
among us who has set no price upon his
honor. Ii does not concern US much Us to
whom those Offices are given, but seine reason
beyond that of tho public welfare, prompted
these changes. The victims Of his displcas.
IRE can probably give the true explanation
Of his motives.
