OF these Two paragraphs The Times SAYS: No
I such paragraph and no such sentiment this

| Times IL originated N The Herald. and was
first credited TO The Times by The Albany At
las and Argus. We exposed the virtual forgery
when it first appeared, but il has continued to
circulate just about as freely ever since"
We are pretty sure that no such false credit
as alleged originated with US. The denial Of
The Times, however. does not reach to the
preceding paragraph. It's silence in regard TO
that is an admission; and in that paragraph the
threat Is distinctly made TO depose President
| Lincoln by force and install representative
| leader in bis place. This is all We have imputed
10 The Times. When that threat was made a
consultation was held. a. we have heard by mil
itary and public leaders, to carry into execution
such a purpose. and Gen. Banks was suggested
as the dictator. The language which The Times
ascribes to The Herald. that its own freads
are meditating the displacement OF the imbecile
administration by extra constitutional and rev.
dictionary methods, is corroboratiDg proof of
such a conspiracy.
1t is, of course, little matter to US which of
these two prints, The Herald or The Times,
originated the idea of displacing the president.

has called outthe latter in reply, which We give
in justice to to the parties implicated.
In April, 1S6l-both before aud after the fall
Of Fort Sumter-The Times assailed Mr.. Lin
coin and his cabinet for the failure to act ener-
getcally againt the rebellion; and il was then. as
anyone may see by reference to its files, that il

On the Goth Of April, 1861, The Times pub
