LATEST FROM HARRISBURG, DEC. 10.

The cars from York last night brought us intelligence from
York up to yesterday morning. About eleven hundred troops
had arrived from Philadelphia and five hundred from Lancaster
county, and the city was entirely quiet.
We have slips from the office of the Reporter, one of the
Loco Foco papers of Harrisburg. They contain but little in-
telligence of consequence, except the account of a large meet-
ing of the Loco Focos of Berks county, in which the conduct
of the Whig Members of the Legislature is highly denounced.
To show the spirit and temper of these proceedings we select
the following from the resolutions adopted :
Resolved, That our thanks are due to the firm and intrepid
Democratic Representatives who stood out for the purity of
elections, and for the rights of the people; and that we pledge
to them the support of the Yeomanry of Old Berks, come
what may.
Resolved, That we view with horror and indignation the
infamous attempt of Joseph Ritner, to place the General
Assembly under the protection of armed bands, and regard
that measure as fraught with danger to the peace, and with
insult to the dignity of the Commonwealth.
Resolved, That this is peculiarly a time that demands of
every man who professes to be a Republican, a stern uncom-
promising devotion to the principles of Republicanism--prin-
ciples identical with those for which our fathers fought and
bled on the battle field of the Revolution, and now jeopardized
by the criminal ambition of certain leaders of the Federal party.
Resolved, That as a portion of the constituency of Berks
county, but representing the feeling of her vast majority, we
do instruct our Senators and Representatives to yield their
assent to no compromise whatever, whereby the rights of the
Democratic Members of the Senate and House from the
county of Philadelphia, shall be in the slightest degree in-
fringed, or whereby the adaption of the amendments to the
Constitution shall be defeated.

Resolved, That be it recommended to our Democratic
Committees of Safety, now at Harrisburg, to accept the ser-
vices of 3,000 minute :nen, to be ready to act at the shortest
notice, as the emergency of the times may require.
Resolved, That we pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred
honours to support the Constitution and the laws against all
usurpation.

Harrisburg, Dec. 10, half-past twelve o'clock.
The troops marched into town yesterday evening, took pos-
session of the arsenal, and then took up quarters in different
parts of the town. The town is in considerable excitement.
The order of the day is that no uniforms appear within the
railing of the yard of the Capitol.
The Loco Foco party mei in the Lower House this morn-
ing appointed a Committee to wait on the Governor, and
inquire for what the military were called out, and at whose
expense. The Whigs met at Gleim's. They have agreed
to meet in the Hall to-morrow, and open the returns of the
new Convention.
M'Cahen is arrested by the Sheriff of our County, and was
given up by the Commander, as you will recollect he appeared
here this morning in uniform. He of course comes out on
bail. Several others will be arrested to-day. I will write
again this evening. I forgot to mention that no prospect of
compromise appears—both parties determined.
