The Union And Journal

The Boards of Trade of Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee arrived in Portland last week, on a friendly visit to the "natural seaport." They were enthusiastically received and the hospitalities of the city were given them. They visited all places of interest in and around Portland and expressed themselves highly delighted with their visit. The after dinner speeches at their reception were brimful of glowing patriotism and devotion to the flag. There was only one exception to the entire loyalty of the Board, and that was a copperhead by the name of Hayes, an invited guest, who tried to make an exhibition of his democratic sympathy with the rebels, but he was compelled to "dry up" by the indignation of the gentleman who invited him to come on with them under the supposition he was a loyal man. However, the copperheads of Portland took care of this martyr and he doubtless felt at home among them.
