A brief observation of the astonishing results of abolition in those islands, effectually disarmed him of the latter, and made him the decided and zealous advocate of immediate emancipation.
He established himself in business in Barbados, where he has been living the greater part of the time since he left his native country.

His _prejudices_ did not long survive his abandonment of anti-abolition sentiments.

We rejoiced to find him on the occasion above referred to, moving in the circle of colored society, with all the freedom of a familiar guest, and prepared most cordially to unite with us in the wish that all our prejudiced countrymen could witness similar exhibitions.
The gentleman at whose table we had the pleasure to dine, was _born a slave_, and remained such until he was seventeen years of age.

After obtaining his freedom, he engaged as a clerk in a mercantile establishment, and soon attracted attention by his business talents.
About the same period he warmly espoused the cause of the free colored people, who were doubly crushed under a load of civil and political impositions, and a still heavier one of prejudice.

He soon made himself conspicuous by his manly defence of the rights of his brethren against the encroachments of the public authorities, and incurred the marked displeasure of several influential characters.
