While there is 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 manlness
and power, in spite If 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 evil
dence of talent and scholarship more so than
many of the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Ansfo-Afr-
can Magazine. and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge and decrease of IN
generous and unreasonable prejudiees. l COM
