ADVERTISEMENTS.

trust the beginning of an era in the mental moral,
and religious history of the coored people in this
Republic Whatever may be the fate of this new
publication, in point OF patronage, whether 1t
shall succeed or fail, for want OF support, we SIN
eerely rejoice to see the attempt made ana MADE
so well
The feature of the Magazine for the present
month is the essay of DR.. j. M Cune Smith, show
ing the dependence of Civilization on physical
circumstances The subject is one of great inter-
est, independent of its bearings upon relations ex-
isting in this country. To those who know Or.
Smith, it need not be said that his essay is a
learned and mastery one But we will say this
and more for it is an original and brilliant pro
duction-one which we would gladly see in the
hands of all the political and chronological malign
ers of the colored races OF men. Martin X Della
nv it will be seen, has chosen lofty subject. He
has given peculiar theory, ascribing to electricity
the office of keeping the heavenly bodies in order,
which other yerv able men have ascribed to the
law of gravitation Mr.. Delany dismisses all our
fears that this firm old earth of ours is to be
smashed up one of these coming days by COLI
sion with any other body in space. We shall re-
fer again to this new magazine, and meanwhile wish
Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, its enterprizing publisher,
every success in this praiseworthy effort to pro-
mote literature and learning among our people

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
teectual efforts, afording scope for the aspiring
free colored population, deserve patronage; and
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
specimens of thought and position-Nelo
York Colonization Journal.
Its list of contributors will embrace the most
prominent colored writers and speakers in the
country. The present number is very creditable.

We are much pleased with the first number of
the AnglO-Afr ican Magazine issued by our old
friend Thomas Hamilton. y Visitor Franklin, ".

There is a well-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that ON Civil
ization-its Dependence on Physical Circum-
stances by James M'Cme Smith, colored ply
stefan of much distinction in New York. 1t shows
much research and thought.
The Magazine commences It's career with modest
appearance and subscription price-a favorable
sign of permanence and success. We hope that it
will be taken by all the colored persons in our
village who are able, it cannot fail to improve
them, intellectually morally, and physically
Daily Republican (Binghampton, N. "
Here is a curiosity-the first number of
monthly Magazine, published and edited by col
ored men, its contributors mainly colored people.
Among these contributors we notice the names of
those whom we know to possess talent of a high
order: Rev. H. II. Garnet, DR.. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass j. W. c. Pennington,
Mary A. s. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon, NJ. II. Freeman, &c. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included but are not so well able to
speak of Others
The articles are generally creditable the Intro
ductory, and one on Civilization-its Depend
ence on Physical Circumstances are certainly

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 writer's We have. and from the

ANGLo-AFR1cAN MAGAzINE-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
4S Beekman street, n Y, has appeared We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, Civilization-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DR..
James M'Cune Smith, we regard as peculiarly in
structive and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization, the sources of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-
eally vigorous, is happily developed and worthy
of general attention We wish success to the An

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the AnglO-Atrican Magazine, pub
lshed 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 ine-
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 or
single article the whole work gows with the evil
5aSoo &c +o1ont and scholarship-far more so than
