EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office Of the Anglo-Atriean Magazine, pub
lished in New 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 trampIe them under foot as infe-
rior it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our coored 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 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 glows with the evil
dence of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many of the popular productions of the press Let
citizens interest themselves in the Anglo fri
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 prejudices. | com

domineering Anglo-Saxon the justice now so per-
sistently denied them.
The opening article is an Introductory one by |
the publisher, Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, who sue
cinetly states the objects he has in view and the
to do. There are paragraphs somewhat causte
we refer to those comparing colored and white
scholars, one comparison being between scholars
in the City of New York, and another between
students in French colleges.
The main article, +" Civilization-its Dependence |
on Physical Circumstances" is by Dr. James NJ |
Cune Smith, 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 tigerferociousness Of caste Of colOris
known. 1t is an able paper, and conclusively dis
proves the current philosophy which predieates
human advancement, or, in other words, civiliza-
ton, 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, so skllfully handled
that the deductions are beyond the possibility of
being overthrow The doctrine of innate superb |
oritV of race is scattered to the winds. This
turv-nursed he, which has been made the excuse |
for slavery, with all its horrors and barbarities
which to-day, in these nominally free States |
brushes the cOlored man beneath remOrseless
prejudice and a fiendish spirit of caste, command
ing him to quench the fires of aspiration as he |
feels them burning in his soul, to be newer of
wood and drawer of water, q menia 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 as this it is
time to pause and ask what to gain by at
tempting longer to hold him down. The time is
approaching when the black in this
country will be fearful power, unless we relax
the hand of oppression. They are under the tenn
perate parallels, where all circumstances conspre
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 letters will be but faxen strings, and OPP
pressors but as men Of clay. The negro is natur |
allv patient and docile-naturally he abhors blood
and strife but there are examples which emphat-
ically warn us that in the school of slavery, and
under the treatment he receives when he is looked
upon as he is now, by large portion of this peo
