We will not charge the seccsh organ with pla
garsm in adopting tie language of Booth. writ
ten months before, and in inserting itintD its own
editorial without credit quotation marks. There
are several reasons, Indeed, why this might be
deemed probable. Booth appears by his letter to
be more vigorous and able writer than any whose
treason f,ur-s in the Chicago Times. His mis-
take that hc took up the dagger instead of the
pen. lie should have taken position on the staff
of that journal, in which his letter would appear to
great advantage an editorial. The fact that
Booths letter was not published until the day the
above editorial appeared, probably shows that the
correspondence not only in this senten~e, but
throughout the letter between Booths stylo and
that of the secesh Times is purely accideatIl and
results from the unity of spirit that pervadcs those
who have "ired from the rear" ut the Presidents
reputation and him who fired from behind at the
Presidents head. But to clinch the proof that
Booth is a COpperhcad in good standing, compare
his hngu &c with that of the speakers Who al
