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.

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.
