(From the Union and American,l
A correspondent layors us with the
following extract from one OF the Sc
rics Of letters written by the present
Governor of Tennessee to DR.. Payhe,
a Northern Congregational minister
It will be observed that the letter was
written only Il short time before inc
breaking out Of the war. How far IL
may have innamed the prcjudices and
influenced the action Of that class OF
persons in East Tennessee who follow
ed It's teachings and engaged in the
rebellion, we leave the reader to Judge
1t is not often that We give place IN
our columns to matter Of such coarse
ness. We do so now simply to show
+ the inconsistency and dishonesty OF
those in Tennessee, with Gov. Brown
low at their head, who are seeking to
pcrpctuate strife by q system of selfish
prescription against that class OF our
citizens who acted with the South in
the recent rebellion:
But, sir, the South can in two months
enter into an alliance with England or
: France, commercial and political, OF
/ fensivc and defensive, and in either
case it will he utter ruin to the North
crn States Of this Confcdcracy. Eng
land and France want Il rice, tobac-
co, and cotton, but they don't want
the manufactures Of New England. An
alliance between England and these
, Southern States, will break down the
. existing tariff system, discriminating
in favor Of New England manufactures
AS n rope Of sand, and scatter all YOU
: hopes to the winds, and coming:a1
! once in collision with your ancien'
I competitor and her low wages, with
Q out that protection which has built hel
l cities and towns, you must be destroy
ed. Whenever such IN alliance shall
q bc formed, and our cotton and othel
+ products landed at either Liverpoo! OF
= Hayre, and purchased again at hIgi
/ rates, New England will see the band
\ writing on the wall. -,
| sir, would favor an alliance witt
France as a means Of more eflectuall.N
i furnishing and starving out the alb
0 olitionists Of the North. The far-see
' inc monarch of the French, woulC
Z unite with us on our own terms, rs !
l. would afford him an opportunity Il
crush the commerce and manufacturers
# of old England, and make her feel tina
= she is dependent upon her ancient en-
envy, as well as atone for villalnou'
(, treatment Of his uncle Napoleon Bona

nous villains, and we shall make thu
proposition q onceto Louis Napoleon
a most sAgAcious monarch, and ne
Il would quarter at New Orleans 100000
u Frcncimen, and at Chesapeake 2O0,0O'
more; we would then command TIT
50 Mississippi valley, whip the North
:" western States into onr ContcderacN
$ and we would then turn upon the NeY
ENGLAND States, and cause the hurrl
