Nevertheless, while they occupy this
position and keep their eyes steadily on
the future, they seek to prepare the pres
ent for that future, and are always con-
tent with the practicable and attainable
These are our clearest-headed, noblest-
hearted men, for they have alike the
vision to see and the will to do, what the
interests of those who condemn them de-
mand. These are the Captains in the
army of reform.
The second class-the true fanatics
are men of limited vision and impatient
spirit. They keep only the end in view,
and disregard all results save the one
they seek to attain. They cannot wait
for seed-time and growth, but must have
the harvest at once. These are they
who would take the Lord by force and
make Him their king. And their place
in the army of reform is that of trump
eters, who arouse the slumebring hosts
with their startling blasts, but neither
lead nor fight successfully.
In the anti-slavery movement in this
country, we may select SALMON P. CHASE
and JOHN Brown as the types of the two
classes of reformers we have been con-
sidering. Fifteen years ago, Mr.. Chase
was regarded as great fanatic. He was
simply ahead of his time. His views of
slavery and of the means by which to
oppose it were boldly announced and ad
vocated then, and he has adhered to them
steadily ever since. Time has vindica-
ted their justice, and popular sympathy
has rendered them relatively conserva-
tive. From an isolated pioneer in the
cause he has become leader, and en-
joys the satisfaction, rare as it is honor
able to his ability and fidelity, of seeing
the principles of which he has so long
been the embodiment, in the ascendant
in his State; while the people have the
very good fortune, and happily the dis
position as well, to secure before it is too
late, the services of his commanding tai
ents and incorruptible fidelity.
The means which ohm Brown adopted
to accomplish his end were not more
different from those of the peaceful and
laborious reformer, than were his views.
He thought no means criminal which
would aid in blotting out crime. He
thought all delay in blotting it out a
compromise with the Devil. And so,
with his impracticable impatience he
failed and died. In the very earnestness
and singleness of his soul his vision had
become diseased. The future seemed
present-the finite infnite-and he
thought that he himself could scale for
humanity the heights which the ages
alone can climb.

WASHINGTON, April 81.
The developements brought to light
in the examination, yesterday and to-day
of Mr.. Bean, before the Covode lnvesti-
eating Committee, are of the most as
Ivurr.sirrg oharavtot, a..1 chow --s--.s-...
of corruption on the part Of the Admin
istration that will startle the nation
Mr.. Bean was assistant clerk to Col.
Allen, late Democratic Clerk to the
House of Representatives, and was be-
hind the scenes during the eventful
struggle in Congress, to fasten an OBJ
noxous Constitution ON the people of
Kansas He reluctantly testified that
he received from Cornelius Wendell,
late publisher of the Union, and Printer
to Congress, the sum of five thousand
dollars for his services and influence
amongst members to carry the English
bill. He also testified that he heard
Cornelius Wendell say that the bill must
be carried if it cost bushel basket full
of gold. Mr.. Bean is at present editor

Fremont, Ohio.
The Committee have the evidence
before them that a notorious disbursing
agent Of the Administration deposited
and checked out Of the, Bank of the
Metropolis the sum Of nine hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars, a great
portion Of which, the Committee expect
to be able to prove, was checked out to diff
ferent persons who were employed to
carry the English bill through the
House.
The bank book does not exhibit the
names of the parties, but only shows
blind initials, signifying such terms as
s'to save the Union" and 'for Kansas.
These disclosures have created futter
in circles which have, thus far, made
light of the expected developements.-
The Committee, under the lead of their
Chairman, have worked with great en-
ergy, and thus far, one class Of the test
imony has opened the way for more

that there is no doubt that the whole
web of corrupt influence will be unray-
elled.

zation papers that were planned and ex-
ecuted in Philadelphia; also; William

cratic State Convention Of Pennsylvania,

he was beaten. He will appear next
