has given peculiar theory ascribing to electricity

which other very able men have ascribed to the

fears that this firm old earth of ours is to be
smashed up one of these coming days by COLI

fer again to this new magazine and meanwhile wish

past and present and the future prospects, of the
colored population of the United States. Such in
telectual efforts, ahording scope for the aspiring
free colored population, deserve patronage; and
we heartily hope the Magazine will be well sup
ported. We do not expect to agree with all the
views which may be presented in it, but heartily
wish 1t success. Thus far the articles are good
specimens of thought and composition.--Netc

There is a well-wrtten Introductory, but the
ablest and most elaborate article is that Civil
izatlon-its Dependence on Physical Circum-
stances by James MCune Smith, colored ply
stefan Of much distinction in New York. 1t shows
much research and thought. y
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 our
village who able, as it cannot fail to improve
them, intellectually, morally, and physically

'Here is curiosity-the first 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. II. H. Garnet, DIR. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, J. w. G.. Pennington,
Mary A. s. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon, M. II. Freeman DC. Among the number
of contributors named no doubt others of equal
talent are included but we are not Sc well able to
speak of others. &
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on 'Oivilization-its Depend
ence on Physical Circumstances, are certainly
able. Daily Dispatch Pittsburgh, Pa)
This first number gives promise of an inter
esting and valuable Journal and we hope the ex-
pertinent of its publisher will be a decided sue
cess."-Free South, (Newport, KY
This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthlies we have seen from the American press,
and the leading articles, and those from the con-
tributOrs, contain arguments and general informa-
ton that should be procured by every family, and
particularly young men, and treasured up. Let
the friends OF literature and progress subscribe for
it, read and preserve it. The contributors are
| among the ablest writers we have, and from the
number interested in this work, at the end OF the
year. you that subscribe will have the material to
make an interesting volume. "-PrOrtaciaL Free

ANGLo-AFRIcAN MAGAzINE.-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamilton,

think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, d" 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 of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have just received from
the office of the Anglo-A ficdn Magazine, pub
lished in New York, three numbers, and, a trib-
ute to both enterprise and merit, desire to say
| few words on the subject.
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 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
and read single article in of these Magazines,
and then blush for the injustice done a crushed
people. The talent and taste exhibited would do
honor to any Magazine published in oHr 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
our citizens interest themselves in the Angio-Afri
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 prejudices. l COM
mend it to our Reading Rooms, and to every pri-
vate family, as a work of decided merit, for only
one dollar year.-Rer. r. II. Conklin, IN Tribune
