He was a printer by trade, starting a paper called "The Watchman and Jamaica Free Press" with future-fellow Wolmer's Trustee, EDWARD JORDON in 1829. The "Watchman" became increasingly anti-slavery. In 1832 Osborn won a seat on the Kingston Common Council, and in 1835 he was elected to represent St. Andrew in the Assembly and remained there until abolition (1865). A patriot by nature & conviction he worked tirelessly to remove 'disabilities from the coloured population'. In 1861, Osborn disagreed with the governor, Charles Henry Darling, over some of policy decisions, and he made his opposition public through an editorial in The Morning Journal. Osborn supported a petition by over 100 of his constituents over destitute conditions and a lack of medical provisions. As a result, Darling removed him from the Privy Council. In 1865, when Governor Edward John Eyre abolished the Assembly following the Morant Bay Rebellion, Osborn strongly expressed his disapproval of the curtailment of Jamaica's democratic institutions. He died in 1878 and was respected for his amiable disposition, his warm genial temperament, his kindly nature and his lively humour were only exceeded by his reputation as 'hardy, honest actor and a clever delineator of character'
