monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles, and those from the con-
tributors, contain arguments and general informa-

particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends of literature and progress subscribe for

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from

ute to both enterprise and merit, desire to say

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 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 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 the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves In the Anglo Atrl
can Magazine and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenft themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, and decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable prejudiees, | com
