fears that this firm old earth of ours is to be
smashed up one of these coming days by COLI

Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, its enterprizing publisher,

There is well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that on Civil
ization-its Dependence on Physical Circum-
Stances, by James M'Cune Smith, colored ply

of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included; but we are not SO well able to

able."-Daily Dispatch Pittsburgh, Pa)

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the Anglo-Africon Magazine, pub
| lished in New York, three numbers, and as trib
ute to both enterprise and merit, L desire to say
| few words on the subject.
While there is a spirit that would crush the
colored race, and trample them under foot as infe
riOr, it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our colored friends and them rise in manliness
and power, in spite of prejudice and hate. If any
one doubts their upward tendency, their want Of
elements essential to elevation, let him call over
and read single article in one of these Magazines,
and then blush for the injustice done crushed
people. The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in our nation.
Nor would we thus speak of single author OF
single article the whole work glows with the evil
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Ang1o-Afi-
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices. l COM
