The Union sets at rest the roorback ef our truthfal and talented neighbor, wherein (on the 11th inst ) that journal said that Senator Brodhead had declared that Buchanan could mot carry Pennsylvania. Senator B. was not even in Washington when this story concern- ing him was got up. Ofcourse there is nota shadow of truth about it. The Union also contains a letter from General James Watson Webb, replying to the editor’s recent article showing that General W.’s connection with the Graves and Cilley duel concerning words spoken in debate, made him a very improper person, indeed, to be lecturing against the idea of holding a member of Congress responsi- ble elsewhere for assaults upon individuals in either hall of Congress. In this letter Gen.
