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

Here is a 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 a high
order: Rev. I'll. H. Garnet, DIR. James M'Cune
Smith, Frederick Douglass, j. W. c. Pennington,
Mary A. s, Carey, Sarah NJ Douglass, Geo. B.
Vashon NJ. II. Freeman, DC. Among the number
of contributors named, no doubt others of equal
talent are included but not SO well able to
speak of others.
The articles are generally creditable; the Intro
ductory, and one on 'Civilization-its Depend
ence on Physical Circumstances are certainly

"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 p Provincial Free

ANGLo-AFRIcAN MAGAzINE.-We have received
the number three of handsomely printed Maya

in viea of the circumstances under which it has
been issued and the manifest ability exhibited on
every page that has given us so much pleasure. 1t

advanced in civilization, the sources of intellectual

| EDITOR or TRIBUNE Il have Just received from
the office of the Angto-Af rican 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
colored race and trample them under foot infe-
rior it is cheering to witness single triumph OF
our coored 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 Anglo fri
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. | com
