Funeral of Isaac Post.

The funeral services in memory of the late
Isaac Post were held yesterday afternoon in
the Unitarian Church. Owing to the large
number of friends of the deceased, it was
found that it would be impracticable to have
the funeral from the house, and the change
to the church was considered expedient. The
church was crowded, and the services were
peculiarly impressive, consisting of addresses
from Rev. Mr.. Mills, Syracuse, followed by
addresses from Rev. n. NJ. Mann, of this
city; Mrs. Jonathan Watson, of Titusville,
well known here as a trance speaker; Mr..
j. w. Seaver, of Byron, and Mrs. Parkhurst,
of this city. All of these speakers were IA
miliar with Mr.. Posts life and character, and
their tribute to his worth was one which may
well be treasured as one of the brightest me-
mentoes of an honorable and well spent life.
1t was hoped that Frederick Douglass would
be present at the funeral but he was unable
to be present as will be seen from the fol-
lowing dispatch:
WARRINGTON, May IL, 1872.
To William R. HalloaceU::
l certainly would, if l could, be present at
the funeral of your venerated father, my
friend for thirty years. A man more Just,
supplemented, charitable, unselfish, and full
of good works, l never knew-his life,
crowned with years, his spirit resting in
peace, his memory precious. His words to
us, could he speak, would be of consolation
to wife, children, and friends.

GENTLEMEN Your note inviting me TO be
present at mass meeting of the colored peo-
pie on Thursday evening next, to hear what
the people wish in regard to their civil rights,
has been received.
The illness of a relative calls me away from,
the city suddenly, or I should certainly ac-
cept the invitation. / have at all times held
myself ready to act in any practical way to
secure the civil rights of all my fellow-cti-
zens, and in the future, as in the past, shall
use every endeavor to promote such leglsla-
ton as may be necessary for this worthy OBJ
ject.
/ trust that at a very early day practical
measure may be adopted by Congress, which
will prevent efiectually the outrages which a
portion of the citizens of the United States
are, in too many instances, forced to endure.
To efforts in that direction am impelled by
my convictions of duty to my fellow-men, as
well as by logical adhesion to the principles
of equality fundamental in the Constitution
OF the United States.
Regretting my enforced absence from your
meeting, and hoping that it will be COM
plete success, 1 am, gentlemen, very respect.
fully, your obedient servant,

duplicates any government officer in any i'm
