In this character Boston at least annually.
through her City Government, Board Of rrade,

invites delegation from some Western city to

her eoolIy heritage. An cpltome Of her Inst

These Chicago gentlemen have been hero dur.
tnE the last Week, md this wis the closing din
ner Of tho many with which they havo been
piled. The tlsuul rounds have hecn made with
the regularity Of tho annual clock. They hayo
been taken to the state-Housc, Common, Public
('artlcn, Faneuil Hall, tllo Old Bnuth Church,
Bunker tfili, Cambridge, md other aiow places,
terminating With what ia most touching to tic
Western eve. nose, Rnt stomach, an excursion
down thn harlor; III short. they have been filled
to rcpletton with the notions md food OF Boston,
md this dinner at Horticultural Hall was In
tnn.lctl to cap tho climax OF their gratitude and
their digestion.
Reaiing over alt the speeches that have beer,
made with desire 10 tec what EoDd has been
acc1mpltshcd 1y this immense iunkettng, It Is
real object Of the Bostonans was, Of course, to
tn1luunco the trada Of Chicago ia this direction,
hut thclr appeal TO their guests has been aJ-
dressed TO thear stomachs rather than to their
admiration expressed. There wcre frequent aud
pathetic refercnccs to the two grcnt fires which
warmed their llcarts with retl-hot te Of union,
but Us ho1!as of Intelligent merchants, com1ng
together to discuss trade aa national benefit,
to suggest means for tts advancement. nothing
has been said. Tho tariff has been uumolezted.
Tree tra1a haa not boon considered, mud tho
sSar.y!"g Of q grain between The United
siates y, "a ,,ns ana Europe has boeu regard.
It has not been alluded TO. II never seems to

pete With Russia and tho splack Sea they must
a!so tnd tneans TO ret il,clr grain across thc A.
1ant[e on tho most favorable terms. They never
renlzc tint they could incrGasc thu competition,
and consequently rctli1cc tho cost, Il Americans
were allowed to participate In thu bualnesB. On

steamships In taking away their freight as an
