EDITOR OF TRIBUNE II have Just received from
the office of the AngIo-African Magaeine. pub
lished in New York, three numbers, and, as trib
ute to both enterprise and MERIT 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
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 or a
single article the whole work glows with the ey
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Anglo Afr
can Magaeine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also benefit themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease Of un
generous and unreasonable preiudices | COM

"This monthly published at New York by
Thomas Hamilton, is edited and written by col
ored people. 1t is an able Magazine. Some sta
tistcal articles on the colored population of the
United States, evince great deal of research and
are valuable. ."-Zim's Herald Boston, Ms.)
We have the third number of this work before
us, and have perused it. 1t is certainly an able
work. The Prospect (Charlesto,pn, Indl
This is a new Magazine, but, as its name i'm
ports, it is to fill existing void, and circulate in
a sphere peculiarly its own. 1t is to be the organ
of the coored race. 1t has been projected by col
ored men, and, in the main, will be conducted by
them. The initial number appears well. Its
leading articles are of high order, and give evi-
dence that if negroes have no rights which white
men are bound to respect they at least WELD
pens which, one day, shall work out the redemp-
tion of their race, and extort from the proud and
domineering Anglo-SaXon the justice now SO per
sistently denied them.
The opening article is an introductory one by
the publisher, Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, who sue
cinctly states the objects he has in yiew and the
work which he and his fellow-laborers undertake
to do. There are paragraphs somewhat canstle
we refer to those comparing colored and white
scholars, one comparison being between scholars
in the City of New York, and another between
students in French colleges.
The main article, '' Ciylization--its Dependence
on Physical Circumstances" is by DR.. James NJ
Cune Smith, a gentleman of liberal education,
though for it he is not indebted to his own cOun-
try, having been obliged to obtain it in Europe
where the tigerferociousness of caste Of cOori un

proves the current philosophy which predieaates
human advancement, or, in other words cVllZa-
