It was at one time the intent obstreperous of Buchanan's newspaper organs, never stopping at any service the dispensers of official patronage had to be stow; but instantly on Buchanan's exit, it seized hold the teat of Lincolnism with a vigor and pertinacity that defied even the ferocity of the LincBuchanan's exit, it seized hold the teat of Lincolnism with a vigor and pertinacity that defied even the ferocity of the Lincoln swine to shake off.
