LIVERPOOL, SIINDAY•
By the Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Stone eeliv
mander, we have advices from New York to the 6th iost•r
and Boston to the 7th. She brings 257,000 dolls. in specie
on freight.

The 'Royal Mail steam-ship Canada arrived at Boston on
the 7th inst.
The 76th anni'ersary of the national independence bad
been celebrated in all parts of the Union with the usual ce"
remonies.

A secession of Northern Whigs from the Baltimore Con-
vention had occurred, owing to their objection to Genera,.
Scott as a candidate for the Presidency, on the ground thin
he obstinately refused, up to the time of his nomination, W
give any public opinion in favour of that series of measures
of the last Congress, known as " the Compromise ;" the per,
manent maintenance of which was with them a question 01
paramount importance ; nor had he since his nomination
made any declaration of his approval of those measures as 8
final adjustment of the issues in controversy. among those
" known incidents of his life," assert the secessionists m the
protest,—
" There is not one, so far as we aware of, in favour of the
principles of the compromise. In one at least of his
public
letters he has expressed sentiments inimical to the institu-
tions of 15 States 'of the Union. Since the passage of the
Compromise he has suffered his name to be held up before the
people of several of the States as a candidate for the Prot-
dency by the open and avowed enemies of those measures.
And in the convention that conferred this nomination upon
him, he permitted himself to be used by the Freesoilers in
that body to defeat Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster because of
their advocacy of these measures and their firm adherence to
the policy that sustained them. Who consider General Scott
as the favourite candidate of the Freesoil
wing
party. That his policy, if he should be elected, the Whig
woutbe
warped and shaped to conform to their views, and to elevate
them to power in the administration of the Government, can
but be considered as a legitimate and probable result. And,
believing, as we do, that the views of that faction of mix'
chievous men are dangerous not only to the just and consti•
tutional rights of the Southern States (which we represent in
part), but to the peace and quiet of the whole country, ,1,..°7
to the permanent union of the States, we regard as the higher
duty' orttfe-ivell wishers of the country everywhere, whatever
else they may do, to at least withhold him their suppa,.•
This we intend to do."
