The Angio-AtricQn Magazine is the title of a
new candidate for public favor the first (January)
number of which lies before us. 1t is published
in the interest of that class of our felow-citzens
who are DISTINGUISHED by the bred Scott decision,
and its contents, in their generality, speak very
significantly of the injustice done them by the
opinions of some of the Judges of the Supreme
Court
We hail the appearance of this Magazine as a step
in the right direction, and trust that it Will not be
suffered to lack for the want of appropriations

Among the various new publications recently
announced, We are glad to learn of the establish
ment of magazine conducted entirely by colored
persons, and devoted to the social, moral and po-
litical advancement of their Observation-Disclosures

The Magazine is of great ability interest
and taste, and will bear comparison with those
of much greater pretensions. We sincerely hope
the friends of the colored people will patronize
this work and help them in this honorable effort
to put themselves in position which they de-
serve, and which their enemies would fain prevent
them from attaining. "Bake or the Huts of
America" is beautifully written and filed with
thrilling interest.-American Baptist (NcU York;
1t is creditabIe publication. Such
journal will, if rightly conducted, do much to
raise the condition of this class of our population,
and inspire them with a manly self-respect and
breathe a Christian aim into their struggles
Christian Inquirer (New York;
The colored citizens of the United States num-
Der many men of culture and marked ability as
speakers and writers, and they have established
monthly in New York, entitled the Anglo fyIean
Magazine, which is certainly credtable in STYLE
execution and literary merit We
hope that It's success may lie such to encour-
age its undertakers to yet greater exertions to i'm
provement, even amid the difficulties which lie in
their way.-National Era Washington, d. c.
The new year has thus far brought to our notice
nothing more gratifying and encouraging than this
new publication The advent of monthly mag
azine, devoted to Literature, Science Statistics,
etc.. is no new thing under the sum- and especially
not new in our country The United States
| abound in such publications but to our knowl-
edge nothing of the character of the magazine be-
| fore us has ever been attempted by any member
or members of the colored race in the United
| States We have had numerous newspapers, a
good many pamphlets, few unpretending poems,
a few biographical sketches, mostly narratives of
fugitive slaves, written by themselves, others
only written at their dctation, the amanuenss fur
nishng the words, and the fugiives the facts but
| beyond these, nothing has been even attempted.
The Anglo-Afriean is bright new fact, and we
trust the beginning of an in the mental, moral
and religious history of the colored people in this
Republic. Whatever may be the fate of this new
publication in point of patronage, whether it
shall succeed or fail, for want of support, we sin
cerely rejoice to see the attempt made, and male
so we'll
