past and present, and the future prospects of the
colored population of the United States. Such in

free colored population, deserve patronage; and

specimens of thought and composition.

we are much pleased with the first number o
the Anglo-Afriean Magazine issued by our old
friend Thomas Hamilton. Visitor (FTanklin, N.
"
There is wel-written Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that on Civil
ization--its Dependence on Physical Circun-
stances, by James MCune Smith, colored ply
sician of much distinction in New York. 1t shows
much research and thought.
The Magazine commences its 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 orr
village who are able, as it cannot fail to improve
them, intellectually, morally, and physically

Here is a curiosity-the frat number Of a
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 high
order: Rev. III. Fl. Garnet, DR.. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, ]. W. c. Pennington,
Mary A. s. Carey, Sarah M. Douglass, Geo. b.
Vashon, NJ. II. Freeman, dc. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included; but we not well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on 'Civilization-its Depend
enee on Physical Circumstances are certainly
able."-Dcily Dispatch Pittsburgh, Pa.)

esting and valuable journal, and we hope the ex-
pertinent of its publisher will be decided sue

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
ceve it. The third article, q" 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-
caly vigorous, is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the an

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE II have Just received from
the office Of the Angio-Afican Magazine, pub
lished 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 spirit that would crush the
coloItu race dnu tIdiupAe lllen unucl 1VVS no hit
rior, it is cheering to witness single triumph of
our colored friends and see 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 a
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
our citizens interest themselves in the AngioAft-
can Magasine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenfit themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudices. COM
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every pri-
vate family, as work of decided merit, for only
