HERBERT 8 ALLEGED Carr TO THE WIDOW
OF KEATIkG.-The following letter has
been communicated to the American Organ
By the brother of Thomas Heating, who
was killed by Mr.. Herbert in the affray at
Willard's Hotel in Washington:
WASHINGTON June 4.
"a report has been extensively published
that :he Hon. P. F. Herbert had given to
the wife Of my late brother, Thomas Keat-
ing, handsome dwelling and money to
educate her children. If the intention of
the author was to create public opinion in
favor of Mr.. Herbert, deem it my duty to
deny that Mrs Heating received any such
favor from him. Th.re is no foundation
whatever for such report. And | have
never heard any person say that he has ever
expressed any regret for the act by which
widow and two orphan children were LEFT
solely dependent on the charity of the world
"There has been generously presented to
the widow the sum Of FIVE hundred dullars
subscribed by the guests at Willards Hotel.
BY publishing tie above you will confer a
great favor and an act of justice on the la
mented family of my late brother.
"Very respectfully sir,
your obedient servant,
P. Fl. KEAriNG.

Will Buchanan Garry PENNSYLVANIA?

WIN DuoHdildu OdIIy L TellIlSylFdNia.
This may be considered by the jubilant
Buchanan men as singular question,
especially in view of the extraordinary pro-
misses made in Cincinnati. We know that
Pennsylvania is set down as sure for Buch.
anan, and at very high figure, and we do
not doubt thar his friends believe all that
they say, end expect to make good all they
have promised. But all sanguine men are
liable to error. and their exultation at their
success in the nomination, has somewhat
bewildered their faculties, and prevented
them for the time being from exercising a
cool and dispassionate judgment. They will
probably think us far astray when we say,
in all cand"r that We think their chances of
carrying Pennsylvania or any other North
ern State, very slender. We do not expect
to convince them Of their error, nor do we
care to do so. Confidence leads 20 careless.
ness, and we may profit by it. Neverthe.
less we say TO them and to the country, that
;f the opposition to Buchanan and the pro.
slavery platform, in this State, can he cor.
daily united, Mr.. Buchanan will be beaten
in his own State. And we say further, thal
no honorable means will be let untried ,tc
bring about such union, for which there
is q. daily increasing desire among the peo.
pie. There is union already on the State
ticket, and there are sound reasons for be.
lieving that this union will be extended to
the Presidential canvass. We therefore
say to our friends in other States, that we
in Pennsylvania are for union, for freedom
and for victory, and that we by 10 means
give up the old Keystone as hopeless. Sc
far from this, we have never witnessed
more buoyancy of spirit, more keenness fo
the conflict, more spirit of union and hsr
mony, or more resolution to win a glorious
victory by deserving it, in the oppositio,
ranks, than at this moment.-PiHs. Cat.
