After a protracted struggle for the civil immunities of the colored people, during which he repeatedly came into collision with public men, and was often arraigned before the public tribunals; finding his labors ineffectual, he left the island and went to England.

He spent some time there and in France, moving on a footing of honorable equality among the distinguished abolitionists of those countries.

There, amid the free influences and the generous sympathies which welcomed and surrounded him,--his whole character ripened in those manly graces and accomplishments which now so eminently distinguish him.
Since his return to Barbadoes, Mr.H.has not taken so public a part in political controversies as he did formerly, but is by no means indifferent to passing events.

There is not, we venture to say, within the colony, a keener or more sagacious observer of its institutions, its public men and their measures.
When witnessing the exhibitions of his manly spirit, and listening to his eloquent and glowing narratives of his struggles against the political oppressions which ground to the dust himself and his brethren, we could scarcely credit the fact that he was himself born and reared to manhood--A SLAVE.
