Among those who replied to Mr.Hart, was Mr.
Osborn, of unmingled African blood, born a slave, and who, we are informed, was a successful competitor for the seat he now occupies against the very man who formerly claimed him as property.

Mr.Osborn and his partner Mr.Jordon were editors of the Jamaica Watchman, and had contended manfully for liberty when it was a dangerous word.

Mr.Osborn said:--"He was astonished at the galloping liberality which seemed to have seized some honorable members, now there was nothing to contend for.

Their liberality seemed to have outrun all prudence.

Where were they and their liberality when it was almost death to breach the question of slavery?
What had become of their philanthropy?
But no, it was not convenient then.
