MR. WILSON'S s LETTER. I've sur render large portion of our available space this week to the able letter of JOHN WILSON, Esq. late Commissioner of the General Land Office, written to Gen. PIERCE, upon the occasion of his being removed solely because he was a member of the American party. Mr. Wilson made no concealment of his political faith. He dared to think for himself-he dared to deny to President Pierce and his alien advisers, that they should trammel his mind upon a question so vitally important to every freeman. Hence his removal.
 We look with pride upon the spec tacle of an American citizen deprived of station, yet standing the equal of the highest magnate known to our laws, justifying the integrity of his motives, and fearlessly appealing to the verdict of his countrymen. It is 8 spectacle that no other institutions can present. It IS unknown in the lands of those aliens and Papists for offending whom Mir. Wilson has been punished.
 The President has exhausted his pow CT; he has wrought the only act that his vengeance could inspire. He may take away the bread, but he cannot impair the honor, nor close the lips of an American citizen. In laying down the livery of 0 servant, Mir. Wilson has re- sumed the garb of a freeman, and stands on the platform of equality with Mir. Pierce himself. From this event we draw a happy augury for the Re- public. Rome has not lost the breed of noble bloods." If there are parti- san Presidents, who deem that this country and it's honor are to be held in trust for the sole benefit of their party. If there are Cabinets who believe that every variety of faith, differing with their own, ought to be visited with un- compromising prescription of head and offce-there are yet, thank God, stur- dy Protestant republicans, who will stand for the purity of our government, for the integrity of the Protestant re- ligion, and, if required to sacrifice their conscience for salary, will proudly offer their offices and their reasons to the intolerant tyranny that proscribes them, and resort, like John Wilson, to honest labor for living.

Ard that this counterfeit presentment, tais

OUR THEATn.Rs.

The history AID condition of theaters In this
country present curious struggle between the
Purtapc element, which ia sgainst them, aud
the High. Church element which If 1t does not
support does not VI hemently attack them. The
theater during our Revolution was condemned
byCopgress assembled, as taking the attention OF
the people swsy from the serious and terrible
business of driving the enemy from our shores,
ard confirming the simple Declaration Of Inde-
perdence.
In Paris, however in the fercess tbroes of
their Revolution, the French Government pro-
vided bread and esmes-wbich latter did not for
BID Paris from siiordipg the s!upendous quota of
amits. Although the authorities In the capital,
Philadelphia, shut up the theater, not admitting
it within city-proper limits yet it found home

the growth of wealth our theaters did not grow

APOLOGY FOR THE ABOLIrI oNIsTS.

On the suhjec. Of Slavery the good people of
tts North are divided into two classes-one very
tmsll ard select the other embracing the great
MISS Of the community. The ANAL and select
class consists of those gho hard hearted as the
yer, Jews tLemi elves, find in the Book, OF Moses
divine warrant for Slavery, and who are hardly
able to see in the Apostle Paul snytbisg else but
a volunteer Commissiof er under the Fugitive
Slave Act-one indeed, Of the kind, humane,
aid considerate sort, Blu. who, IN the famous
case Of On' simus, felt it his duty, under the Law
ard the Gospel, to restore the runaway to
his master. This class has at its head some of
the most distinguished of our Protestant divines,
such as PRECEDENT Lord Of Dartmouth College,
ard DR.. Adams, of Boston, of " Southsi View"
rotoriety, with the Rev. DR.. Cox and the Rev.
Orville Dewey; but this doctrine is SO unpopu-
lar that only very independent persons indeed
are able openly to profess it, aud so repugnant
that only very dare devil perions are able to re-
ceive it.
The people Of the North are generally agreed
shat Slavery an evil and ono to be got rid of, if
possible; but their agreement in this general
proposition does not prevent sub division Of
opinion, by which the effect Of this nominal
unaDimity 10 almost entirely fulfilled. TIE
fret great subdivision Of these opponents of
Slavery 10 into thote who think that some
thing ought to be Core about t-though BY no
means agreed among themselves as 10 precsely
what-and those who are for leaving TO Provi
dtnce the whole concern AID responsibility in q
matter in which, as they insist, the people Of the
North are not directly implicated, and, therefore,
not snlwerable for it.
There walters upon Providence formed, till
very recently, the bulk Of the community, bu.
since the passage Of the Nebra.ka bill the pre-.
pOpdersnce Of numbers seems TO be rapidly
changing. They DO not however, and never were
at least if we are to believe their own solemn
and reiterated sstations-xithout very
tender ?! mpatby for the slave; the occasion to
them, in fact, painful apprehensions or rather,
as they FAY Of painful certainty as to great
ssgIsvsicn Of the unhappy condition Of those
held in servitude-produced, as they insist by the
lljudgeS, fanahcsl and foolish, if not indeed, ma
iicious proceedings of The Abolitionsss. Aud, as
confirmation Of this view, they point to the recent
excavations in the black code of many of the
States free as well as slave to the new penalties
launched ssainst those who would communicate
religious or literary instruction to the slaves; to
the furious legislation against such as assist runs-
ways in escaping; and to the natural aggravston
produced in the minds Of the masters BY the idea
Of third party undertaking to interfere bet Eeen
them and their property.
There are however, some considerations on the
other ,de ofthis question, which ought to comfort
little these tender and suffering souls; and
which, perhaps, duly considered, may lead them
