learned and mastery one. But we will say this
and more, for it is an original and brilliant pro-
duction-one which we would gladly see in the
hands of all the political and chronological malgn-
ers of the colored races of men. Martin r. Della
ny, it will be seen, has chosen lofty subject He
has given peculiar theory, ascrbing to electricity
the office Of keeping the heavenly bodies in order,
which other very able men have ascribed to the
law of gravitation. Mr.. Delany dismisses all our
fears that this firm old earth of ours is to be
smashed up one of these coming days by COLI
sion with any other body in space. We shall re-
fer again to this new magazine, and meanwhile wish
Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, its enterprizing publisher,
every success in this praiseworthy effort to pro-
mote literature and learning among our people

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

There is a we'll written Introductory but the
abest and most elaborate article is that Civil

Stances by James M'Cme Smith, col0red ply

order: Rev. III. II. Garnet DIR. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, J. w. G. Pennington,
Mary A. s. Carey, Sarah NJ. Douglass, Geo. B.

talent are included but We not 30 well able to

The articles are generally creditable the Intro

able."-Daay Dispatch Pittsburgh, Pa)

esting and valuable journal, and We hope the ex-

This Magazine is one of the best appearing
monthes 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

| 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 interesting volume. "-Prouincial Free

ANGLO AFRICAN MAGAzINE.-The first number
of this Magazine, published by Thomas Hamiltons
4S Beekman street, N. Y, has appeared. We
think it will be read with interest by all who re
ceive it. The third article, Civilization-its De-
pendence on Physical Circumstances" by DR..
James M Cune Smith, we regard as peculiarly in
structivs and valuable. The idea that in nations
advanced in civilization, the sources of intellectual
power spring from the common people, the physi-
cally vigorous, is happily developed, and worthy
of general attention. We wish success to the An

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
the office of the AagLo-Af iicdn 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 maniness
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 gows with the evil
denee of talent and scholarship-far more so than
many OF the popular productions of the press. Let
our citizens interest themselves in the Anglo-Afr-
can Magazine, and while they encourage the en-
terprise, they will also beenit themselves by an
increase of useful knowledge, aud decrease of I'M
generous and unreasonable preiudices. | com

vate family, rs a work of decided merit for only
