REPUBLICAN, LANDMARKS; or, The Views and 0pin-
ions OF American Statesmen, on Foreign Immi-
grafton. By John p. sandsrson. Philadelphia;
J. B. Lppincott : co. Price 81 80.
Mr.. Ssndepon has carefully examined the histo-
ry Of American Legislation on the above subjects,
from the earliest periods of colonial existence
to the present day. He has given the official pro-
ceedings Of Congress, well as the various propo-
sitions made from time TO time, and the views ex-
pressed on these questions by all public men whose
opinions are entitled to general consideration.
The aim of the book is strictly historical, and
the vast array Of facts and statistics that crowd its
pages, will shed mueh-needed light upon topics
Of which but few persons have any clear under
standing. From this arsenal Of historical truth,
trenchant weapons may be forged for the defence
Of the American cause, while it cannot fail of find
ing place in every public and private library, as
depository of rare and interesting facts of which
every liberalminded person ought to be cognizant.
The faithful execution of this laborious underta-
king is highly creditable to the historical research
and ability of Mr.. Sanderson.
Thiswill be seasonsble publication, and become
a textbook for our public men, while it will show
that the policy Of the pures patriots Of our country
has been to distinguish between the claims of aliens
and native born. The scope of the work is very
comprehensive, and embraces many other subjects
necessarily connected with the main objects of its
Investigations. ilt
Mr.. Sanderson is the editor of the Philadelphia
News and his son is now in this city for the pur.
pose of procuring subscribers to the work. All
who wish to subscribe should apply to J. S. San.

THE PAcrrIc.--No Intelligence of the Pacific had
reached England when the Persia sailed. Captain
Judkins, Of the Persia, however, was heard to ex-
press the opinion, just before leaving Liverpool,
that be believed she was safe. We quote report
of his remarks from the Liverpool Journal on the
sth instant:sd s,f4.a se err ts..t s e
Captain Judkins of the Persia, said yesterday,
and there is no man more competent to give an
opinion, that he felt certain the Pacific was SAFE
and that in all probability we win have that nsws
inland before they have 1t in America. He instanc-
ed many cases of ships being detained in the ice
for more than month, and that, once surrounded
by the ice, vessel can do nothing but drift along
out of the frozen prison. The current and the pre-
vailing winds, viii probably impel her back upon
