MALIGNANT STUPIDITY.-1t was charged
repeatedly at the polls, on Tuesday, that the
Journal said all who voted the Democratic
ticket were secessionists We found upon
inquiry that the charge was based upon this
expression in yesterdays paper ''Show us
secessionist, and we will show you a man
who viii vote the entire Democratic ticket to-
day" In the same article, and but few
lines preceding, we stated distinctly that "the
great majority of the Democratic party is
loyal and true to the Union y yet men who
kne,o better made themselves busy in excl
ting the indignation and ill-feeling of the ig-
norant by representing thai we branded oil
who voted the Democratic ticket as secession
lsts We do not allude to the matter now
for the purpose of taking back an iota of
what we said, but to show to what base means
our opponents resort in order to carry an
election. What we predicted proved true
yesterday. We saw men at the polls indus
triously peddling Democratic tickets, who are
well known as sympathisers with secession.
Yet we freely admit that the great majority
ofthose who voted that ticket are loyal
There is just this difference, however, be-
tween the Republican and Democratic parties:
every man who acts with the former is Cn-
ion man above suspicion, while the few whose
loyalty is, to say the least, doubtful arc found
in the Democratic ranks. We chose to act
with that party where secession sympathisers
cannot feel at home let others select their
company. 80 ..-

if events ahould justify it, the slave States
would anticipate outside pressure, and, bp a
sweeping act of emancipation, convert the
slave into friend of the South. The seces-
