The first duty of every colored person
is to subscribe to the Tribune. Have
you done so, reader ? if not, have your
name placed upon the roll of honor at
once.
Have you registered ? if you have not
take our advice and do so at once. Don't
wait until it is too late. The man who
has no voice in the selection of his rulers
on election day is greatly to be pitied.

St. Patrick’s Day—A lesson for Colored Peo’
pie.
On the 17th inst., our Irish fellow cit
izens celebrated St. Patlick’s Day in a
manner that reflected the greatest credit
on their devotion to the cause they love
so well. The masses among the Irish
people celebrate tho day with the most
intense enthusiasm, because ot their be
lief that the Saint was capable of per
forming and did perform many wonder
ful miracles, and was, consequently,
eminently a superior person and entitled
to the homage they bestow. But the
leaders of the Irish race not having ex
actly the same devotion for St. Patrick
that their less informed brethren have,
yet have a cause at heart that is as dear
to them as is the memory of the Saint to
the masses. A cause cannot succeed
unless bv constant agitation and com
pact organization. It is the hope of the
leaders of the Irish race to see their dear
old Ireland free, and the duty that the
masses feel they have to perform in iron
or ot the memory of St. Patrick, that
make the Irishmen the best organized
people in our city, and resulted in their
powerful display of strength in this city
on the 17th. As a result of this close
organization, and one o her cause not
necessary to mention now. the Irish race
in this city has advanced ninety per
cent, in the last decade.
The colored people may learn an im
portant lesson from the Irishmen,if they
will. With six times the population of
our Irish friends, and a cause that should
be as dear to them, the colored people
have been hitherto incapable ot making
the display o! strength and maintaining
orgauiz uious that will make them re
spected in accordance with their num
bers. We warn our people to arouse
Hom their lethargy Aid be up and doing,
if they would have themselves respected
and secure a recogm ion of their rights
in this State. Colored men ! we say to
you, every right you hold dear is being
trampled upon. It you desire to right
your wrongs, organize yourselves and
show your power oy being true to your
race, and the rights you hold dear. We
tell you we believe you have lost ground
in the past five or six years. We ask
you what are you doing ? We say to you
commence your work at once, and re
member that he who would be free him
self must strike the blow.

Death of Hon. Isaac Seeley. *
It is with deep regret that we announce
the death of the distinguished gentle
man whose name heads this article,
which sad event occurred yesterday
morning after a short illness. Mr. Seeley
was born in New York State and was 51
years of age at the time of his death.
He came to this city in the year 1865,
and has made himself a most useful citi
zen gaining the respect of all honorable
minded men. He was elected to the Con
stitutional Convention in 1868, by the
colored voters of this district, and was
afterwards Assistant Postmaster in this
city under W. L. Clift, Esq, and was at
the time of his death Weigher and Gau
ger in the Custom House at this Port.
The deceased stood high in the confi
dence of the Republican party in this
State and occupied a prominent place
in its counsels. In the death of Mr.
Seeley the cause of freedom loses an
able champion, the country a useful and
honorable citizen, and the Government
a faithful and valuable officer. His
funeral took place yesterday afternoon
from his residence on Broughton street
near Whitakea.
