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 never seht word to this office that any more such articles should not be published.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;" OCT" New York Tribune please copy. T. HURLEY & C0. The Exodus North. L^t is ascertained that three thousand two hun ?IICTWlid!??4n have emigrated from this state? luring the last #,rce months, to Mass., Conn.' ind the other New England states, on contracts lo work at twenty dollars a month ; and they are still going. Thousands have gone from Virgi nia, avA yet the supply is inadequate to tho de macd. This proves the old adage, that, although the mountain could not come to Mahomet, .Ma homet can go to the mountain. tST A grand sympathising meeting, in behalf of FuSen Ficon, the Charleston correspondent of the Sew York Tribune, is expected to bc held, to morrow evening [between thc hours of sundown and moonshine], cn the Citadel Green. A contri bution win be taken up to aid the distinguished gentiema.. to make a round of visits to the breth ren of the various -- Societies North, to whom he will narrate thrilling stories of man whipping and his own labors in behalf of "-the cause " in this benighted region. These unable to give green backs will please hand in what silver spoons, forks, and such relics of days gone by they mey possess. Now, brother stre tch forth thy hands ! fgp It seems from the papers, that Jchfl Van Buren has recently made a flying trip to Charts ton on business connected with the gas company, and a certa?! underground railroad enterprise! He went back to New York and made a speech, in which he sai? that he found no rebels in Charleston. All thc people that he 6aw were loyal to the core. All of -.them loved Yankees. ?- * Aggers, the Union, the Government, and. the freedmen's Bureau most intensely. That is rich Prince John must have spent di 4iis rtime with the freedmen. The fact is we dojipt believe that he has been to Charleston at all. Jz is another Copperhead hoax goUen up for effect, ts make capital for the i$ext Presidential election. Gen. M. W.

T Gen, Carey of Ohio, the temperance lectu has lately been at Washington making stunn sperches on his favorite theme, to immense i diences. He also made a speech or two on stale of the country. Ile delivered his celehr ed " Bible argument for temperance " in Wes t?hapel on Sunday afternoon, before a crowe feouse. It was said to have been an effort Unsurpassed eloquence and power, which li ihe eager crowd spell-bound for an hour and half. He canvassed this State on the temp?rai question in 1857, and drew crowds wherever went. Brownlow'? " Whig *' says that thc conduct the rebels of West and Middle Tennessee is sr that the East Tennesseeans are considering t s?oject of having ihat section recognized a.e separate State. The loyal men of feast Tenn see feel that they can never live in peace w the rebels, and that separation is necessary, They feel that Congress will be willing to : them apart, and that they ought to dose beeat of their loyalty. Equality. The great discussion of the present time Equality. Everybody is contending about There are some who say they cannot! Work b i*eause their minds are so much exercised abo' .it. There are some who go from place to pla discussing the subject of equality. Their yvhc time and thoughts are taken up discussi??g t j subject of tonality. But the right way that think for them to do is to put their trust ?God. Tor it is certainly known that witho His will nothing can be done. Wa may contei until the Day of jjnc'grnent, and the d :vil hit self may break loese from perdition and cor ?id help us to contend, but without God's w we will never get it, So, therefore, the best ws is to put your trust in God, and ile will lei you through safely. The same way he led ; out of the house of bondage-. He .will equali; us if it is His will, for His will must be don Just have little patience. Remember thewori i was not made in a day. His wise provident took six. days to make it; but Ke could do in half a day, but He took six days. Therefo remember that, and put your trust in him; fi if his will we will get it, and if not we wi never get it. Remember that God has bec with ns from the first commencement, and he ?fl? with us, and has promised to be with us t *he end. J. W. REIDER: BF".

Norwood, Eso;., editor of the Dar lington (I C.), New Era, has been, attending the Convention of Internal Revenue Officers recently held at Adiana, Ga. , We clip the following.par agraph from his editorial correspondence written from Montgomery, Ala.: " Since the adjournment of the Convention I have visited this state, and have heard and seen cheering evidence of the beginning ot a better j state of affairs. Everywhere the planters tell I me the feedmen are doing yreU, much better j than was expected. I spent four days on two i among the largest plantations in Lowndes ? county. I conversed freely with thelaborers,and found them in fine spirits and working well. ! They are cheerful, hopeful and anxious to better ? their condition. The planters as a general thing ! are treating them with kindness and liberality, j and many of them express the opinion that the negro is still a great institution. One of the most prominent men iii the county, and ones the strongest pro-slavery man said to me he woitid not remand them to a state of slavery if he Could A number of plantations in the county have been purchased by Northern men, who are em barking in the cultivation of cotton. There is quite a demand for good plantations. ,_-r 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 : "As Nations and States, as suck; are rewarded and punished in this life, some are curious and j anxious to know, how, when, and in what, man i ner, this economy of Heaven will be verified in j our case.

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.
