We have received the Albany Atlas
aud Argus, Of Friday, 4th inst, which con-
tains an article so pregnant with interest
to Southern men, that we give the material
portions of it below. The Atlas and Ar
gus is the chief organ of the Pierce party
in the great State Of New York, and one
Of the most Influential papers of that party
in the Union. It's statements and opinions,
therefore, may justly be considered the
voice Of the Administration men of the
North Now we beg to call particular at
tention to the confirmation it gives at the
very outset, to the declaration of Mr.. Glenn

bill because u tcaS a bill IN facor If freedom

Pierce organs will be mute on this subject

article alluded to:

Pierce during the tendency of the Nebraska

principle embraced IN 10 would be 10 restrict,
rather than extend slavery. The remark was

Tennessee Trade.

We have to notice very serious decline in
our trade with the Northwest, owing to the
small margin for profits between the producing
points and the coast. Indeed, u0on corn, no
margin whatever is left, and if it were ALSO
lutely given sway to one living ten miles from
Nashville, it could not be sent to Charleston
without loss. Corn in sacks is now worth, We
believe, at Nashville 80 cents. The loss IN
weight and various charges, will raise the
cost to nearly 80 cents, which, deducted from
the selling price, (62 oents,) will leave but II
oents per bushel Tor corn TO the producer
These rates, even in the face of the large yield
of last year, cannot be submitted to, at least
for the present. The inevitable consequence
Of this state of things, must be serious TALL
ing of Of freights for the present. The ship
ments of other articles, however, are steadily
increasing, aud OF copper particularly, which
amounts Ia about ten tons daIly.-AIaRtd
