Description: Old Abe "In a Weaving Way."

Date: April 27 1861

Newspaper published in: Macon, GA

According to a correspondent of the Petersburg Express, the troubles of the times have proved too much for LINCOLN's sobriety. He's "in a weaving way," as well as spending "his money free." This correspondent writes that some Southerners, for being Southerners, were arrested in Washington and taken into the presence of LINCOLN, when they found him so drunk that he could scarcely maintain his seat in his chair, and that it was well known in the city that the President had been in a state of the most beastly intoxication for thirty-six hours.
