To he Editor Of the NstO YORK. Nea0s:
l regret to zee that the prospect of commercial
New York is blsckening with rapidity and intensi-
~ as unexpected as it is appalling as is evidenced
in the following announcement of the Boston Com
srcial Bulletin. Says that paper In its number CT
the lIth inst.
"We may for prudin.isl motives which will be
appreciated by all business men, see it, for the
at least to omit publishing the failure aoj sus-
pension in our list OF business changes after the
present Issue"
The explanation Of This is, l conceive, nothing
more nor less than that lsilures are happening Is
the North to such alarming extent that the gen
eral interest demands suppression oil the trntb.
But Mr.. Editor, is it well to conceal The Truth
under existing Circumstance? Is it not better TO
ntrust the people with the facts order that they
may arrive at correct conclusions I l am afraid
that the views Of the AbOltionist Wendell Phillips
as put forth in bis speech at New Bedford about

We learn by letters from East Tennessee that
ANDREW JOHNSON and THos A r. NELSON continue
TO deliver their reasonable speeches whenever they
can get crowd to listen to their insane rawlings.
They harsngued a crowd at Elizabe.htown on the
18th inst. NELSON profcssed to hate despotis very
much, but he falsely styles that resistance despotism
which is defending the South against the usurpa-
tons of LINCOLN. He said nothing of the military
despotsm that has repressed the spirit Of freedom
inNaryand and that holds Missouri in subsection TO
its bayonets, numbering men, women and children
- carry out its hellish purposes. We are informed
that he advised the people to take the laws ard
their execution into their own hands as they could
not get justice In their courts
JOHNSON advised the people to call for aid from
the LINCOLN Government. and they would get it.
These men are evidently endeavOring to precpitate
East Tennesseea6e into a counter revolution, with
the view of bringing about civil war in Tennessee,
but we have too high a confidence in East Tonnes
TO believe for one moment that they will be
made the victims OF their bad ambition.

England and tho Confederate states.

There are strong indications that England will
very soon recognize the independence of the COnfed-
crate States. The debates in Parliament, the de-
claratOns Of her ministers and the tone Of her press
all point 10 that conclusion. Her manufacturing
districts will be driven into rebellion from starya-
ton, if her supply Of cotton is cut off This her
statesmen and legislators well know. Hence they
viii not stand by quietly and submit to o blockade
that threatens to deprive them Of the product which
feeds her operatives and gives life 70 her commerce.
She will not witness general bankruptcy among
her people for the sake Of gratifying Northern
cupidity and revenge. The London Born;ay Ctr0la-
cis thus refers TO the subject:
To put down federal privataers would, we need
scarcely say, be an act OF against the federal
government: but not to do so threatens an aterua.
