rRdDnDTAMT FROM HARRISRTIRG

Through the attentive courtesy of various
members of the State Legislature, we have
been favored with copies of the following
extra from the Office Of the Harrisburg Tel
egraph. The proposition which it contains
is one to which the Iocofocos must accede,
or be content to bear for its rejection, the an
athemas of the people. There would seem
indeed to be no alternative. The advanta
ges which the proposal gives to the disaffec-
ted, are such as to obviate all shadow OF ex-
cuse, should they not entertain them We
shall sec whether they can SO far carry their
hatred of order and of compromises, as
to reject the overture. II. they DEBUT it is
unnecessary to antedate the sentence of the
people. .'.e,...l5
