It discusses in an able manner the condition,
past and present and the future prospects, OF the
colored population of the United States. Such In

we heartily hope the Magazine will be well sup
ported. We do not expect to agree with all the
views which may be presented in it, but heartily
wish it success Thus far the articles are good

"This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles and those from the con-
tributors, contain arguments and general informa-
ton that should be procured by every family, and
particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends of literature and progress subscribe for
it, read and preserve it. The contributors are
among the ablest writers we have, and from the
number interested in this work, at the end of the
year, you that subscribe will have the material to
make an interesting volume. "-Pr0pincial Free

ANGLo-AFRICAN MAGAzINE.-We have received
the number three of handsomely printed Maya
zine, under the above title, published in New
York, by Thomas Hamilton, No. 49 Beekman
street. Never have we received a monthly which,
in viea of the circumstances under which it has
been issued, and the manifest ability exhibited
every page, that has given us much pleasure. II

alone with the contributions of their pens. 1t con-

ASaLo-AFR1cAN MAGAzENE.-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
48 Beelman street, N. Y, has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, " CivilizatOn-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DIR.
James MCune Smith, we regard as peculiarly in
structive and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization, the of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-
cally vigorous, is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the an

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 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 AngioAfri

increase of useful knowledge and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices. l COM
