q EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
&the office of the Anglo 4 lricaR Magazine, pub
Hlished in New York, three numbers and. as trib-
Mute to both enterprise and merit desire to say a
#few words on the subject.
h While there is a spirit that would crush the
eoored race, and trample them under foot as infe-
S ror, it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our colored friends and see them rise In manness
land power, in spite of prejudice and hate. If any
81 one doubts their upward tendency, their want of
elements essential to elevation, let him call over
and read single article in Of these Magazines,
a and then blush for the injustice done crushed
RI people. The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in our nation.
81 Nor would We thus speak of single author or q
single article the whole work glows with the evil
Slence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Anglo Afi-
Ee can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they Will also beenfit themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge and decrease of un-
#generous and unreasonable prejudces. | com
