For the Portage Sentinel. Historical Rrainlscei.ces of Portage Co- J-1-. BY J. B. Fifly.lhre have now elapsed since first settlement were commenced in Portage County, and nearly nil of the first settler have passed away.

Very few indeed are left to record the of those e'days, and those few will not remain long "witfl Their'e was a hard loi. The pioneers of all new countriip. have a bard task, hut these so distant from all other iel-tlements, that provisions had to be trans-Tjorted hundreds of miles, and the country, -'every part ol it so heavily timbered, and the pioneer settlers, isolated in townships so distant from each other, made their. task uncommonly laborious and difficult The writer of this, though noi among the first, was an early settler in Portage coun The first settlements were commenced in'it99; and it was not until 1806, that he arrived in what is Bow Portage County, and settled in and it is of that see ton of the cmihty principally and its early settlers, hie would give some sk etches Abram Honey and family Settled in Mantua in the s'piig of 1799, and Mrs. Hoasy-ivas th white woman in that township; Elias Harmon ana wue semen; there in the.fall of the enmt year.

Moses rPonii, Paschal" P. Mcintosh, Rufus Edwards, l(a brother or Mrs. Honey) single men, all commenced improvements about the name time, in the east ptrt or Mantua. In Amzi Atwater, and Jotharo At-water also, commenced improvements, and soon after came Bozel Windsor and family, VVm. Russel and family; and several of those tingle men married, so that in August 1806, when I first became acquainted there, there were seventeen families, besides several bachelors.

The men having families then were, Amzi and Jotham Atwater, Moses and David Pond, VV. Russel, Ger- Casual mi, A Rnnr.h Judsun. W. II ll Loomis. R.

Gen Bwrce is in error ia sidling that Gn. Campbell moved into tU.it township in 1804..

Edinburgh was not settled until some jesrs later. Gen. Bierce is also in error in stating that Lrruel Chapmori settled in Edinburgh in 1809. Mr. Chapman tnov-d into this county 1812, and first settled in Rootstown, near the west lme of hdin-burgh A M'.

Breblix, the new Stnte Treasurer, on taking charge of hn oilrce issued on yesterday, the following circular to the several County Treasu'ers. This prompt action of the State Treasurer will at once bring the nullifying Banks in to their senses; We have heard much said of South Carolina Nullification, and claiming that the State was in and out of the Union at the same time, but our nullifying Banks claim a still more nb surd position thftt of being under the pro tection of the State laws and yet refusing to obey them. There is nothing better set-tiled in the State, by every declaration of the public voice that there shall bo no exclusion lawi in our Stale no aristocracy of privileges no highly prerogative no government withinour government claiming equal supremacy.

Tha sooner therefore, that the Banks abandon their opposition to the laws of tha State and to the popular feeling the better. Can a set of monied institutions expect the protection of the Slate in any part of their claimed rights, unless they willingly agree to pay their just proportion of the taxes levied to sustain the very government under which they claim protection. We shall see the end: CIRCULAR. TaBAeuay Offick, Columbus, Jan. 13, '53.

To to the Treasurer of Ccunty: Dear Sir: No certificates of deposit, or drafts, upon any Banks which, have refused to comply with the laws of this State requiring them to pay a just proportion of the public taxes, wiil hereafter be received at this office, Trusting that you will concur in the propriety of this arrangement, I have the honor to remain, Very respectfullv, G.

Henrv W. Cush- man was elected Lieutenant Governor of the Stale of Massachusetts. INAUGURAL MESSAGE, Gentlemen of the Senate, and House of Representatives: The will of the people has again con lerred upon me tne Chief magistracy of this State, and for this renewed expression oi Kinoness nna paruaiuy, i now tender the acknowledgment of my humble grati tude to each, and every member of ihi General Assembly, as the proper channel tnrougn wnicn it may be conveved to constituents If there is anything in this me umi i uesire to retain, it is the confidence of my fellow citizens, and amidst ie unspeakable emotions of mv bosom I feel assurance that so long as merited it will not be withheld. I shall enter on the duties which have been assigned me by the late election, un der the new Constitution, with no vain be lief that I am equal to the occasion, but with the hope confirmed from what has hitherto occurred that I shall be liberally and zealously sustained, not only by the constituted authorities, my associates in labor, but by the people of Ohio, without parly distinction, in every honest endeavor to promote their true happiness end wel- mre. having but few days since com municated to the General Assembly, in tha annual Message, my views on what was then supposed to be the most impor tant subjects of Legislation at the present session, it can neither be expected or de sired that I should again repeat what was at that time expressed.

On occasions like this it has especially of late become customary to speak of the value of the Union to these States and of the necessity of sustaining it in the spirit oi tne constitution. it has occupied the attention of the bxecutives of several of our sisters of the confederacy Within the last few weeks and their communications both north and south of Mason and Dixon's line, breathe a true spirit of patriotism by the expression of the most loyal attachment to the Union This evinces a much better state of feeling than has hitherto existed. It is true the term "North ern Fanatics" ere occasionally employed as if they were known only in the North; but I apprehend even this fault will hereafter disappear, when the true history of some of our southern friends shall be fully read and understood. But in her attach ment to the Union and in her unfaltering determination to support it, Ohio permits no others to lead. She never knew disloyalty.

She neither has nor will she assemble in Convention to weaken the Union by means in palpable violation of Constitutional duty. If she feels herself aggrieved by the measures of Congress or the acts of other States; in the Union she will seek redress and not out of it To nullify constitutional obligations is not a favorite remedy with her people. The law known as the compromise which has caused So much ill feeling is the act or the National Legislature, held to be Cor.s Hthutional by the Judicial Tribunals, authorized to decide that question, and if the measure itself as one of policy, necessity or justice, were it tin worth the parchment on which, it was engrossed, the people of Ohio, it is believed, will never sully their integrity by its criminal violation. Under all circumstances wl ieh surround it, it should remiin undisturbed, and this fruitful source or agitation and excitement be forever closed. The lime for the agitation of its repeal, has not at all events arrived, for the results which will (tow from it for good or evil, cannot have been fully tested in so short a period.

By le'ting it remain, neither its policy cr justice is admitted but merely that the cf it would produce greater evils that the measure itself can effect. While public opinion may be divided, perhaps, the subject of agitating the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Lw, there is, nevertheless, another matter in close connection with it, on which it is believed the sentiment of our people is entirely united. The area of slavery must never be extended in this Government, while the united voice and action of Ohio, in any constitutional form, can stay it Here, with propriety, we may take our stand. Thus far, proud wave, shall thou advance, but no farther shall thou come. That slavery is an evil, that It was brought upon this nation by no moral right, and exists by what is believed to be the force of necessity, because it is interwoven with eVery political relation and civil institution of the South, is not to be controverted.

What is to be its end, the future can only disclose. It has long appeared to me that the African Colonization Society presents the most effective organized agency to eradicate, and finally wipe away, the institution of slavery. It is true it has encountered great prejudices, and determined opposition, and its operations, consequently, have been slow; but the signs of the times now indicate that the general ana State Governments will, ere long, contribute their influence and means in support of individual philanthropy. That our African colony will become the home of free and prosperous colored race, spreading Christianity and civilization the natural results of free institutions through the vast expanse of that dark and benighted quarter of the globe. I am not myself among the number who believe that the evils of slavery, must necessarily overthrow ibis government.

This great fabric of human wisdom erected by our fathers Tor our welfare and protection will be preserved, and those who think differently, in my opinion falsely estimate the elements by which it will be sustained) the interest, the intelligence and the patriotism of the American people. I see no reason why generations may not look upon the old emblem of our union and strength, as gracefully it shall spread its folds to the breeze, and neither stripe nor star shall be seen to have disappeared. But on the other hand, new constellations will arise in the North the South and West and add to its interests, its beauty and its strength. Not that' other nations are to be brought into this Union by war, conquest or any unjust or aggressive acquisition, but by that peaceful and all conquering influence, which will eminate from our free institutions, our intelligence and enterprise, a At no distant day, comparatively speaking, the American people may with trulh exclaim "This boundless continent is ours," it is the destiny of the Anglo Saxon race. There is another consideration of vast importance to the interests of our state; the improvement of our Rivers and Without beiag felt by the general Government, the uninterrupted navigation of the Ohio from Pittsburgh to its junction with the Mississippi for nearly the entire year might be secured.

The object is one of too deep interest, not only to our great commercial metropolis, but lo a very large portion oi our people, to be longer delayeo, and too expensive to be undertaken by Stole authority, with heavy public debts and extensive internal lonprovements to provide for their own. The harbors along the the Bieat chain ol Linkes so auspicious ly begun, should not be permitted to fall to decay. The immense annual loss of life and property from the want of accessible hnd safe ports, is appnling. It would be well ihut this subject should be pressed on Hie consideration of the national legislature at the present session, with an earnestness and zeal equal to its importance. The time, in my opinion, has passed, when the cons 8titulionality of these works, as regulators of commerce, can be denied; Or, Connect ing as they do the trade and intercourse be tween so many different Slates, can be said not to be strictly national in character.

It is true any indiscriminate system ot appropriations is not to be -justified. Each work should stand or fall upon its own in dividual merits. A bill not regarding the proper distinctions and which would have plundered the Treasury, was vetoed by Mr. Polk, and he was sustained in his action by a constitutional majority in Congress. would respectfully recommend to the General Assembly the passage of a resolus tion instructing our Senators in Congress and requesting our Representatives to use their earnest endeavors to secure judicious appropriations without delay for the improvement of our river and harbor naviga-iion, and that they sustain the President in his recommendations therefor.

I will also avail myself of this occasion, to mention, that, since my annual com munication was made, a letter has been received, dated at Paris, from Alexander Vatiemare, on the subject of Literary and Scientific Exchanges. mr. Vattemare is a ranchman, ot high character, and of intellectual endowments, who has devoted many years to this business. He is the agent of several or our sister States, and some of the European nations, for the purpose of effecting ex changes of scientific, legal, literary) and other works, indeed, everything in the way or useful information. It appears, from his letter, that there was a corres pondence between him and my immediate predecessor, under a resolution or the Gen eral Assembly, but nothing or importance effected.

By constituting Mr. Vattemare an agent or Ohio, it appears lo me much benefit may result. 1 he scientific and lit erary treasures of the Old World, as they appear, will be transmitted to us, from lime to time, in exchange for such works as we have to spare. But a small appro priation to coves contingent expenses will be necessary, and the subject Is recommended to your consideration. A communication from the Prussian Minister at Washington, Has likewise been received within the last few days, as a special favor to be furnished with a.

copy of our laws, reports and 'resolutions in rela- ion to our financial system, i shall take great pleasure in complying with this re quest, as nn act ofcounrtesey, if the General Assembly will place at my disposal the documents desired, and which it is believed may be spared without inconvenience. Again gentlemen, permit me to give you my thanks, and to express the hope that your session may be harmonious, and your labors though arduous, nevertheless pleasant and beneficial lo our flourishing and prosperous State. KtSU blilN VVUUJJ. Speech of Gen. Cass.

The following is the speech of General Cass at the Banquent given to Kossuth, by the Washington Democratic Association. Mr. Cass said: "I am under great obligations for your kindness, manifested in your sentiment in relation to my conduct in France. Bui I merely discharged my duty as an American citizen. 1 did just what every one ol you would have done had you been placed in my circumstances.

I only advocated the cause of my country. A (earful attempt was made at innovation on the law of nations an attempt the consequences of which human sagacity can scarcely foresee. Four powers had united, one was held in obeyance. I said then, ''1 hope France will not sign this treaty; but if she does sign it, it will not altar one tittle the course ol the American people. Applause Let the Union against them be great or small, they will resist it to the last extremity, trusting to that God who does not give the victory always to power.

But, my friends, a greater question has now arisen Then could we have defended ourselves ogainst united powers. But a quarrel has now arisen where you cannot so easily carry your arms- a quarrel for the future involving all questions of human rights. It rejoiced my heart to see here this guest among us the leader of his country a revolution ihe asserter of the rights of men, and the. martyr of or the Independence of Nations welcomed to our shores. Applause.

Sir, (turning to Kossuth) the ocean, more merciful than the rod of tyrants, has sent you to a country of freedom and safety. Applause. That was a proud day for you, but it was a prouder day for us, when you left the shores or tbe Hellspont and put your root upon an A merican deck. Protected by Americun cannon, with the stars and stripes of our country floating over you, you defy tbe world in arms. Applause.

And, Sir. here in the land of Washington, it is not a barren welcome that 1 mean to give you; it is not a mere salutation of "I am glad to see you," but much further than that 1 am willing to go. 1 am willing lo lay down the correct principles of national rights and adhere to them. Applause 1 will not say "craven be the man who does not respond to it," for, thank God, we are in a land of liberty, where every man has a right to enjoy and express his own opinions in his own way. But 1 will say that he who is not willing to respond, and in an effectual manner, to this cry of liberty rrom tbe old hemisphere, his heart don't feel like mine.

Applause. No, Tellow cjtizens, no; I am for the largest liberty to the largest number over the whole face oT the earth. Applause. My friends who do not agree with me in that sentiment, have no feeling in common with me. Now, I am vvi.lmg to say and to maintain that those despotic powers or t.urope, when they put their hand upon Hungary and marched the Cossack and the Pandour upon the Danube to put down the first flame or liberty, offended against all laws or nations recugnizrd throughout the civilized world.

But, gentlemen, I am an old man, laughter, and cries or "No, you ain't," but tell you, I am approaching my threescore years and ten Half a century ago I crossed the mountains, a by, on Toot, and God be thanked for the institutions ol my country, and Ihe favors of my fellow citizens, that have given rr.e the privilege now of maintaining human rights in such a presence as this. Applause. The sun of Heaven never shone upon such a Government; and should we sit blindfolded, our arms crossed, and say to tyranny, "prevail in every other nation of the World?" Cries of no! nol I thank you for the rosponse. That is my feeling. Now, my friends, as I am willing lo sny, that is the law of nations, long continued applause, every independent nation under Heaven has the right to establish such a government as it pleases.

And if the oppressed or every nation wish to throw off their shackles, they have the right without the imerfarence or any other and the land which was first freed by the Father or his Country may sympathize with every other nation which unfurls ihe banner of Freedom. Applause. And I am willing, as a Member of Congress to pass a declaration to-morrow, in name of the American people maintaining that sentiment. Great cheering. And I will go home lo my constituents, and if they disapprove the act and I know they won't I will never come back again Laughter.

1 am willing to go larther. 1 am will-. ing say that ho nation under Heaven, whether its Chief Magistrate wears a hat or a crown, has any right lo mtertere in the affairs or another nation struggling Tor human liberty. 1 am willing to make that declaration in the name of the American people, and 1 am willing to leave it, the very moment when it is necessary to act, to those who are to determine the course neccessary to take under proper time and circumstances, as the case may require. Applause.

There, gentlemen, you have my senti ments. 1 am much obliged for your kind atten tion. "Oint and Grow Fat." the undersigned, a resident of the town of Darieu, Genesee county, N.
