Nearly two years nco the merchants Of Portland,
deslrous Of cultivattsc the acquaintance Of Vest
erp merchants, invited the Boards Of Trade Of
chscsgo, Milwaukee, st. Louis, Detroit, &c, to
meet them at Portland and partake Of ther hos.
pf'a1tty and good cheer. a very large delegation
Of Western men, With their wives and flmIltee,
responded to the call, snd two or three weeks
wele spent III uasktng the trip, which proved
TO be highly beneficial TO all concerned-both
in business ind social point Of view. Ths Port.
lander. did themselves everlasting credit In the
profuston OF thelt hospitality, which has lslt an
Impression not easily to b etlaced. Il wM
one OF the strong connecting links which hts
bound The Ea.t and The West toReiher during the
struggles and scenes Of the ptst two years; and
II Is net inappropriate to add that both Portland
aud the West have been benefited fnancllliy By
the mutual inter e1chalge.
Ever since then, however, tho good merchants
Of Boston have felt anxious to cultivate ths nc
qunintance Of The Wes'--nos from any feeling Of
tsalouty toward Portland, for that would bo
r,dieulous In city as wealthy a. Boston is-bu
only to have an interchange of views sud senu-
rueuts, and possibly for tho purpose OF reminding
Western merchants (whc arc apt to forget old
friends, that Boston has invested moro money in
building Western Iailro7ds aud canals than auy
ether city IN the woslj, This IL all proper md
right; for We grow 1t such pace ont here
that We have sometimes forgotten that
Boston was the "kub OF The universe"
una have failed 10 give credit to
whom credit II Justly doe. Boston folks, how
ever, are tauioue, and II took aome time To nx-
turc plsn; but as EDon ss the rebellion Ha1 vir-
tually crushed, they met together and 1nalIy re-
Eolytd TO Invite delegations from the western
Bosrds Il Trade TO meet the Boston Board Of
Trade in convention on the 1lth OF the present
month. But the Boa on'ant we're NOT gong to
follow the example Of the Portland Board Of
Trade, and invite the entire West to pay them a
T1tts. No sr<h 'hipE. They vosy pEudently sent
limited invttsiions--Chicago's potion being iust
