Mr.. John Welsh Of Philadelphia, President
of the Centennial Exposition Board Of Finance,
has been appointed Minister to England. He
is one Of the leading sugar importers-very
wealthy, generous in the disposition OF his
means towards beuefceut objects, and very
highly esteemed \ Republican in politics
anj an Episcopalian in religion.
The appointment does not meet the entire
approval Of the Republicans of the straightest
sect lie is acknowledged to be a gentleman
Of personal worth and a merchant prince of
great wealth aud business experience, but his
appointment falls short of meeting the political
necessities Of a great State like Pennsylvania
so thinks the National Republican. In 9TH
or words. the President, 10 the view Of the ex-
treme radical lights, erred in not naming ST.
mon Cameron. that old political trickster. The
PepuIlieaa hopes that when the confirmation
Is brought before the Senate, they viii take
into consi leration the fact, among others, that
Mr.. Welsh recently wrote a letter commend
ing the appointment Of Democrat to Office
The objection Of the extremists seems not to be
that Mr. Welsh is Incompetent, or that his
character for integrity and all that is not above
suspicion, but that such appointment initiates
against a settlement Of the political differences
that exist in the republican party in the great
State Of Pennsylvania The Republican pre-
diets that in the election to take place ou Tues
day in the keystone State it will add to the
already threatened Democratic majority.
The Hon Charles ]. Faulkner addressed the
Changers aud others at Cherry Grove, Berke-

interests Of the Berkeley County Agricultural
and Mechanical Associatiou--the principal pur-
pose of his remarks being to demonstrate that
it was the duty Of the grangers not only 70
look with favor upon that Association, but to
bring the power and influence Of their organi-
zltion to sustain and support it.
To the afternoon, says a correspondent Of the
Statesman, ,he meeting again assembled tc
hear an address from JAS. H. Grove, Esq, oil

Of oratorical ability, ana IS a prominent gran
ger, and presented an able exposition Of the

was listened 20 with attention by his audience
