One of the heaviest charges against
Mr Findlay was, that he appointed a
© gnonstrous and unnecessary bumber
«of Justices of the peace, in svery sec-
tidb of the state,and this was repeat
edly urged by the Harrisburg Chron
iclc as the principle reason why he
should not be re-elected. It seems)
however, that Mr. Findlay, during his
whole administration, has not appoint-
ed one-féurth part as many as did Gov-
