Our Position.
11 LOYALTY AND FREEDOM SQUELCHED.--The
South Carolina Leader, devoted to free labor and
practical reform, found fault, as it wna bound
ro do, with the President's ^veto pf the Bureau
bil!, and stH more so with his speech to the
motley crew who serenaded him in the evening.
The editor, Mr. A, Coffin, of Massachusetts,
was induced to resign his desk after publishtng
the article upon the President's speech. Mr.
Moore, a South Carolinian, was appointed to
his place. Maj.-Gen. Devenu sent worri to the
editor that no more such articles could be pub
lished, l^ie publishers reported that the writer
of the obnoxious article had been removed, and
that the President would be sustained hereafter.
The new editor waited upon the General, and
satisfied him that no case for complaint should
ngain occur. Thus the rebel papers of Charles
ton are allowed to villify and caricature Con
press, but the only loyal paper in the State
must cease criticising the President. The Legis
lative power may be abused, but the Executive
must he screened by military authority. * How
loni?. O Lord ? ' FAXLEXFICON."
We give the above extract from a letter pub
lished in the New York Tribune of March 24th,
by a correspondent in this city, a would-be
martyr, who had more time to write letters than
he had for stating facts. First, he writes that
the editor from Massachusetts, after writing
a certain article, was induced to resign his desk
and a South Carolinian appointed in his place.
Ile was not induced to resign his desk for any
>uch reason. He was aware that fer six weeks
previous to his writing the article in question
that a change in the editorial department had
been contemplated, owing to the iact that the
proprietors of the LEADER were desirous to re
duce expenses, and because the '.editor from
Massachusetts *' felt indisposed to labor for
the cau^e "' at a salary deemed by him dis
proporircnare to his services. He 44 didn't get
enough of money."
2. Geceral Deren? never seht word to this
office that any more such articles should not be
published. Gen. Devons, is from our State, and
v - ? '
is aware that men rawed around Bunker Hill
never sacrifice their principles, much less their
love of liberty, for power or profit.
3. The proprietors never reported that the
writer of the obnoxious fticle would be re
moved, and that the President would be 6us
:ained hereafter. We have never pledged our
selves to sustain any man. We are sovereigns,
and we have yet to learn how and by what law
my power can compel a sovereign to remain
nfeirt -in regard to the actions of public ser
ran**. .
4. What the so-called rebel press does is
lone of our. business. . If newspapers at the
S?rth have the right to denounce the Congress
)f the United State?, and honest Union men
permit it there, we think any honest man ought
:o be allowed to express his opinion here, what
ever that opinion may be. And we know there
ire no military officers here who wish to con
sol us in expressing our opinion.; and we are
not afraid of being sent out of the Department
n.ow, as there are no Hatches and Hartwell*
1?re to do that work. This press stands by thc
principles of God and humanity. It may be
nuzzled or suppressed ; but only for a time-it
ivould speak again, and justice be vindicated.
We-have-ne* changed. The LEADER is not a
vhit different from what it was w hen it started.
Et is an enemy to slavery and ali that pertains
:o it, and ii wfil never .-be ought eln;e while we
Dwn an interest in its . We are the friend of no
mar. who would oppress his fellow being
?4 because he is poor, because -he is igno
rant, or because he is black." A man is a MAN
for arl that. We want nothing for Durselves we
would r,ot demand for another. We mil -not
willingly allow any man or set of men to mis
represen t any class of American cit teena in
order io make capital for themselves. Men are
not Northen loyalists nor Southern rebels with
us. They are all our fellow countrymen
tiley are our brothers; and we will stand by
all who love and honor our common country.
We have no sympathy with those self-consti
tuted martyrs who devote their time, at a penny
~ line; to misrepresenting the white man-or the
black mun, North or South, for the purpose of
raising a paper monument to the memory of
Fallen Ficon's, and have their pictures exhibited
hereafter among the /? Champions of Liberty;"

SENATORS ix PuAY?R_ TIME. -If the "fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," the
facts below show that there is much' occasion to
pray that the Lord will "teach our senators
wisdom." The correspondent of a philadelphia
paper says :
We were in the gallery of the Senate thc
other morning, when the opening prayer was
made. And we could not help noting in a
glance the position of the^ senators during
this act of worship. A number'rose in their
places and reverently bowed their heads j others
leaned down over their desks in attitudes of
worship ; whilst, we regret to say, quite a
number of others leaned back in th fir chaii s and
looked on very indifferently, a few apparantly
wi;h disrespect hardly concealed. A solitary
individual, who has considerable reputation,
continued the reading of his morning paper,
turning and folding it as if there was nothing
going on.
SUPFKAGS.
?? Universal suffrage," impartial suffrage,"
" equal suffrage,"-these are words that are on
many lips in these times ; and they have a deep-'
interest for the colored men of the United States :
Suffrage means the right or privilege of voting
Tho colored men desire this because they are
free, and because thev need this means ot self
protection. It is our belief thai colored people
should have the right to vote oh the same con
ditions as other people. We also believe, that, ?
sooner or later, they will have this. But the
prattical point is, What can they do to secure ,
it ? .this is what our readers are interested in,' ?
and on this we have a few words to say to them.
Something can be done to plead your cause with?
the government and people. This is now being
I done, and Wil! have io be continued. Let these
j men be earnest and honest, and let them rest .
J their cause on truth alone, and refrain from ? T? '
La buse of persons ?nd all uncharitableness, aird ?
truth will prevail. Lut the greatest thing that
j can be done is to educate the freedmen, and
make them so well quaified to vot? that the prt
! v?ege can not oe denied them. Even in Massa
chusetts there was a time when coleced men
were not allowed to vote. Why was this change
made : Because they were seen to be fully qual
ified to vote. In some Northern States, they
are still excluded from the polls; but, eveiy
time the question is tried, it comes nearer to be
ing settled right ; and the argument used is al
ways this : .. They are qualified to vote, and
therefore they ought to." The good sense of
the people can not always resist this argument.
Do you ask us, whether, in your opinion, you
will have this privilege without any conditions
and hindrances* . Of coi IT se,-.we cannot tell the
future; but we think it likely that only those
i will be allowed to vote.who can read and write.
But whether this he. ?o or not, think what an
argument it wouKlbe in the hands of your ad
vocates if they could say, Ye citizens of the
United. States, every freedman irt .this land can
read the Constitution, and can write out his own
vote, and sign his name to it.! ". , t
Are you ready to work for the right of suf
frage in thi^way?
We make the following extract from a very
able and interesting letter written from Greens-,
boro, Alo-.ftoy Rev.Dr. Summers, and published
in the Fa?nily Record of this city :

DARLINGTON, S. C., March 26tb, 1866.
ME. EDITOR-A most destructive fire occur
red here on Sunday morning^t was discovered
at daybreak in the store of Mr.: Early. The
buildings- being of wood, the fire spread with
great rapidity, and did not cease until more
than thirty houses were destroyed,, among
which were eighteen stores, the Court-house,
hotel, and a number of residences. There was j
no1 engine, and the insufficient water rendered j
it impossible to check the progress of the^
flam?s. The efforts of the soldiers, especially
those of the 30th Mass., could not have been
surpassed. The office of the Darlington Era
was burned. The press was lost, but the types
saved. Different rumors are afloat as to the ori
gin of the fire. It has been attributed by some
to the carelessness of an intoxicated clerk.
Som* ?av a colored man set the fire ; others that
the soldiers did it. Against the Jast supposition j
it may be urged that the gentleman on whose
premises the fire originated was a favorite with j
the soldiers, and not at all obnoxious to them.
There ii to be an investigation to-day.

CONDITION or SUFFRAGE.-We are glad to i
find such excellent doctrine in that Veteran organ

I
.An emin'eht republican divine said, on the 4th |
day of July last, 'thc condition of universal j
suffrage shouid be a? universal educa- !
tion. The^ criterion' of a man's vote should
be that he knows why he votes ; and this will I
be enforced exactly in proportion as he knows j
what it is that votes. It is not corn that votes ncr !
cotton nor greenbacks,-nor a white skin, nor a j
black skin. It is the intelligent will that votes, !
or should vote. Let the qualification beset forth
and known as a condition, and it will become
universal. You can lift man into intelligence,the
safeguard of democracy; but you cannot educate
them to be red. black, or white.' This is good
doctrine, and coming from a Universalist should
be universally applied."
