NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
EDUCATED DEMOCRACY.

The Speech which will be found below was de-
Hvered nearly twelvemonth ago by the Hon. CHAs
j. INGERsoLL,* of Philadelphia. Finding senti-
snsnts SO liberal and conservative in many respects
and heightened in interest by the ability of the au-
thor though mixed up with some eccentricities, we
conceived that it would be not an uniting pendant
to brief discussion which our readers may remem-
Der under the caption of "The Democracy and
Education, originating in certain exceptionabe
views broached in the Inaugural Address of Gov.
ANDREW JOHNSON, of Tennessee, and we laid it
aside for season until we might find convenient
space for it. But other matters diverted our view
from it until few days ago, when it presented
itself anew. Thinking that it might yet amuse,
If not instruct, some of our readers we avail our
selves Of spare column or two to give it place.
Some of the remarks of Mr.. INGERsoLL, it is
proper for us to say are sufficiently piquant and
awakening; more SO perhaps than we should have
dared to plunge into ourselves. But he has been
distinguished in the Democratic faith in and out Of
Congress; and very clear it is, at least, that he is
no advocate for ignorant Democracy. This might
naturally have been expected, for the country has
had long knowledge Of his scholarship and attain
ments; and all must own that he invokes high
Democratic authority from the past days Of our
Republic for the stand he takes in behalf Of talents
and education as the requisites and adornments of
republican statesmen, and that he regards neither
accomplished manners nor Shakspearc's hints about
dress as incompatible Herewith We offer no
opinion whatever upon several of Mr.. INGERsoIL's
points, but present. in justice, the whole Of his
marks that they may speak for themselves. Certain
ly there is not particle of Jack Cadesm in them,
whatever other characteristics they may possess.

THREE NEW TERRITORIES.
The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald saws

The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald says:
We learn from Major DoRU, United States agent who
arrived in town Monday evening last that he has
cluded treaties with the Senecas of Sandusky and the
mixed band Of Senecas and Shawnees and the Quapaws
three small bands of Indians residing on Grand River
Immediately west Of the southwest corner Of Missouri
and south Of Kansas Territory Major was appointed
by the President Commissioner negotiate treaties with
these Indians to obtain from them all of their surplus
lands and to settle up their annuities permanently We
learn from him that the Sandusky Senecas reserve 100
for every soul of that band be located in
body and the balance Of the lands be surveyed by
the United States Government and sold the proceeds of
which to be paid to the Indians after deducnc the
for their annutes and also something for other
benefits, which We do not now recollect.
The Senecas and Shawnees 80 acres for each
member Of the tribe for which the United States is TO
issue PATENTS and they also sixteen sections to
be held as common property the residue of the lands to
be surveyed and sold like terms with the Senecas
their annuites to be put into fund and paid in four
instaments The Quapaws have made treaty in almost
every respect like the Senecas and Sbawnees
Major D. will leave in few days to meet the osaoes
on the plains, where he hopes be able to conclude
treaty with them He will take escort Of troops from
Fort Gibson with him. We hope We shall soon hear of
his making favorable treaty viii this rowing tribe of
prairie Indians Their lands lie IN Kansas Territory
The Cherokees also $1,000 scres of land in this
Territory which they anxious TO dispose of to the
Government.
toned above very fertile and wa watered and win
fall in the Territory of Cherokee and will be under the
jurisdiction of the Cherokees.
We hope soon to have 1t to record that the three Indian
Territories 50 literally provided for by Mr. Johnsons
bill, have oil been organised.

ANOTHER CENTRAL RAIRoAD.-We mentioned few
days ago that the Ohio Central Railroad was about to be
connected with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
following paragraph, from the Galena en- Northwestern
Gazette, shows good progress in great road further
West:
"CESTRAL RAILRoAD.-The track of this road is now
laid about four miles out from this city About three
hundred men are at work the at Scales Mound
the unfinished part of the road in that direction will be
drawn up into close quarters Mr. Burial, the Pres-
dent OF the road in late communication says think
that on the first day Of January next may expect the
whole line from Cairo to alena to be In readiness for
operation by regular trains giving by the Chicago and
Gaena road line from Chicago to Gaena by the Au-
rora Extension road line from Cairo to Chicago and
by the Ohio and Mississippi road line from St. Louis to
Cairo, and st. Louis to Chicago, without intervention Of
steamboats, except for crossing the ferry at st. Louis
When we 60 from Galena to Cairo by railroad new
