OT We find if our exchanges an account of black woman turning white. Wereverse that order of things here. If they will come 10 Ar kansas, we can show them some politicians who were once white and are now rapidly becoming black. The safest way to preserve fair poti- cal complexion is to keep in the shade of a democratic banner
 The above article is clipped from the True Democrat of Tuesday. That office and those connected with it, afford ample proof that white politicians can be converted into black ones in the shortest imaginable time. At first there was supposed to be but one black republican in the concern, but now they are all as black as ebony. The shade of the democratic banner which hangs out from that castle s as dark as Erebus.-Gazeite.
 Political defeat rngst be like he disease called the iaundce, and effect the eye-sght of the afflicted When the Gazette shall be able to see clearly, if tbat day shall ever arrive, it will fud that the white banner of democracy is without rent, spot or stain. Excess of light blii ds men, but if the Gazette will accuSsom itself to look at the truth by degrees, till it ceases to dazzle, 1t will find that white which it now calls black, and that dark which it now accounts as fair Then, and not till then, we shall look for a condemnation of the course ot Bell, Crttenden and other know nothing lead CTS, and recognition of the glorious labors oi the national democracy in the meeting and de- featng toe abolitonsts. The recent result in Missouri should teach the know nothings a les. son, and il wil if they read it arght. Ere long they will find that the only defense of the South is by the democratic party. The day for third party Is past. We recognize the black republi- cans as our chief foes, and those who at home try to hold our hands while we are engaged in this struggle, will be looked upon as allies ot the late negrophiliss. aud as giving them aiI and comfort. It will no longer lo 10 rush in and leg" for the black republicans, at the same time swearing that they hate them. If the opposition at the South really are opposed to the common enemy, why do they not join Us and present a common front? Instead oi that, they do their best to cripple us, to throw obstacles in the way and to stresgt hen the hands of the freesoilels. They are anything in oppo- siton to democracy. Some of them would be black republicans if they dared. The Gazette in its hatred has abmed every principle it once professed, and to inju,e the democratic party would strike haids with the blackest of black republicans, with Fred. Douglass himself
 There are, in the ranks of the opposition, men whose preiudces and feelings have carried them thus far, bot who cannot be led by Crt- tenden, Bell, or by he Gazette, into ali aii- ance with the enemies of the South. h lS60, those man will vote with lis, will rally under the fair banner Of democracy, 10 matter how ltstily the Gazette may swear that white is black and black is white For year or two past the Gazette has been endeavoring to show that the democratic vas the free-soj party. That is the first step As soon as it thinks 1t can be safely done, t will, like the Missouri Democrat aud other Kindred papers, fill its col umus with labored articles to prove that the free-soers are the only true democrats
 We have seen the same thing done in other States, watched inc progress of these me', step bl step All lhe traitors to the South began tae.r downward career by opposition to the de- mocracy, aud ended by finding themselves II the ranks ol the alotioHi>ts.
 The democratic parry $ the white mars larsy aud all who really believe that our government is goremmei ofwhits mer, will have to join j.. We do lot believe that all those now io opIo siiion to the democratic party will remin 3D.. Those who wish to q, right, those who love country more th n party will come to Us. The Gazette may indnce few to follow it hat we have too much confidence in the people of Ar kansas, and too little faith in the ability of inc Gazette, to believe that aly considerable num- ber can be foutd to follow i-, with Cgi5ieaden Bell 6s o., u,o the ranks of tbe black rsga5- hcans.
