| ANGLo-AFRICAN MAGAzINE.-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,
48 Beekman street. N. Y, has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third srticle, i" Civiization-lts 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 physl-
cally vigorous is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the An-
| glo-African Magazine. Missionary,

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the Anglo-Aflcan Magazine, pub
lished in Nov York, three numbers, and as a 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
our colored friends, and see them rise in manness
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 n crushed
people. The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in our nation
Nor would we thus speak of a single author or
single article the whole work glows with the evi
dence of talent and scholarshp-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Ans o-Afl-
can Magazine, 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 prejudices. / com
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every pr- |
vate family, as work of decided merit for only |
one dollar year.-Rer. r. H. Conklia, in Tribune

This monthly, published at New York, by |
Thomas Hamilton, is edited and written by col |
ored people. 1t is an able Magazine. Some sta
tistical articles on the colored population of the
United States evince great deal of research, and
are valuable. ."-Zions Herald Boston, Ms.)

ANGLo-AFRICAN MAGAzINE.-A new monthly in
the pamphlet form, issued at As Beekman-st, New
York, at one dollar per annum, by friend
Thomas Hamilton, promises good things, solid
things, noble, elevatng. The first number exhibits
TACT talent, erudi6on, scientific Investigations the
pen of a ready writer. The contributions are of
the highest order. The narratives, sufferings and
hair-breadth escapes of fugitves from the land of
Egypt and Pharaohs host, are truly marvellous,
wonderful No romance can equal them, and vet |
they are solid facts. These narratives will grace
every number of this new monthly, and will
doubtless give it wide circulation. Anything
and everything calculated to elevate and emanci-
pate the colored race, meets our warmest sympa-
thies. The hand of God is i'll it. " Ethiopia is soon

The opening article is an Introductory one by |
the publisher, Mr.. Thomas Hamilton who sue
cincty states the objects he has in yiew and the
woP he fell -abo mn Ea
to do. There are paragraphs somewhat caustic
we refer to those comparing eolored and white
scholars, one comparison being between scholars
in the City of New York, and another between
students in French colleges.
The main article, 4" Civilization--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 tigerferoeousness of caste of color un-
known. 1t is an able paper, and conclusively dis
proves the current philosophy which predicates
human advancement, or in other words, civiliza-
ton, on the innate superiority of a race but, on
the contrary, shows that it is due rather to eli
mate and geographical position. The paper is
learned, pregnant with facts, skilfully handled
that the deductions are beyond the possibility of
being overthrow. The doctrine of innate superb |
ority of race is scattered to the winds. This cen
tury-nursed he, which has been made the excuse |
for slavery, with all its horrors and barbarites,
which to-day, in these nominally free States
crushes the eolored man beneath remorseless |
prejudice and fiendish spirit of caste, command
ing him to quench the fires of aspiration he
feels them burning in his SOUL to be newer of
wood and drawer of water menial feeling no |
manhood, to keep shut the windows of his SOUL |
never opening them to let in the sunlight of |
knowledge, is eviscerated and shown to be but the
invention of the oppressor, as an excuse for his |
dark and damning deeds and crimes. When the |
despised negro ply such artillery this it is
time to pause, and ask what we are to gain by at
tempting longer to hold him down. The time is |
approaching when the black race now in this |
country will be fearful power, unless we relax
the hand of oppression. They are under the tenn
perate parallels where all circumstances conspirs
to give them physical and mental power. In |
each decade the census figures show that they in
crease in a ratio which, ere long, will reach that
point when the red right hand of revolution will
be raised, clenching sword, beneath whose heavy
blade fetters will be but faxen strings and OPP
