Senator Chase of Ohio.

The free sellers Of Hamilton county have nom
mated ticket for county officers, and before
their Convention adjourned they passed resolu-
,;o, formulating Senator Chase--announcing his
withdrawal from the party, regrettIng his course
and declaring themselves no longer responsible
for his acts. The Cincinnati Atlas asks:
sWhat does this mean? Are not the liamll-
ton County Free Sellers a little too fast? We
have always understood that the Free Soil party
in this State belonged to Mr. Chase and Air Gid
dnes-not thew to the party. What il in the

Chase's attempt 10 transfer them to the Democ-

More trouble for Ireland.

The latest arrivals at New York from the Old
World inform us that the British Government is
about to prosecute some of the Irish Roman
Catholic Bishops for assuming titles which have
been declared illegal by the recently enacted Ec-
clesiastcal Titles Bill, This proceeding will
prove as unwise as il is unjust, and will once
more disturb the comparative tranquility which
was beginning TO shed its blessings over Ireland.
The arrest of one of the Roman Catholic Bish-
ops will be the signal for disturbance if not u
revolution, which will not be quelled before thou
Sands of lives are lost. The great body of the
British d,ssenters will have fellow feeling with
the Catholics in this matter, as the object is by
them deemed to be poorly yelled attempt TO rem
der the English Church supreme in every respect
in the British Islands.

BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.
Tho Mississippi Rapids.

The Missouri Republican, and the 81 Louis In
tellig,acer, received by the last mail, have each
an article on the subject Of the Improvement Of
the Rapids of the Mississippi, and warmly Sec
onding the proposal for convention at this place
in October next, with a view to ask of Congress
an appropriation of money or donation OF land
for this purpose.
We are glad 10 see this measure so important
and indispensable to the prosperity of the whole
North West, and to Iowa and northern limos
particularly, is at last attracting some attention
from our friends in the great city of st Lolis.-
They have not, heretofore, manifested that inter-
est in it, nor given it that hearty support which
its Importance deserved. Resting too well con-
tent in the advantages of position which st Lou
is enjoys, they have no. united so heartily in the
efforts made by others to secure from Congress
the aid necessary to accomplish this great object,
as the Immediate interests of their own city de-
manded Their full awakening to the subject.
we are glad to see. 1t was full time that St LOU

see the trade Of Iowa, northern Illinois. Wscoa-

road, 10 the east, now il the course OF coastruc-

The Improvement of the Rapids, is measure
| in which the whole region of country bordering
on the Mississippi above the distractions, take
| the livelest interest. 1t has been with them the
great subject They have, however, knocked so
nayailingly at tn. door of Congress for help,
and their urgent petitions and memorials have
been so fruitess of beneficial results that in many
| portions of the country the people had began to
despair of relief from that quarter, and the con-
sequence has been, as is now witnessed, that they
are seeking TO connect themselves by artificial
/ communication with the lakes, and thus with an
| eastern market in preference to southern-or
I rather in despair Of ever being able TO reach a
! southern market upon fair terms.
| We will heartily coincide in any measure that
may tend TO awaken more fully the attention of
! Congress TO this important subject. With this
| view, we know no means more likely to produce
unity of feeling aud concentration of effort thai,
| the proposed convention in this place. We
hope 1t may be held, and that the people of
every portion of the North West will send
delegates to it. Burlington, having been fixed
upon as the place of meeting of this convention
we endorse the recommendation of the Telegraph
of this morning, that our citizens should hold a
public meeting with view of fixing a time for
