Faran. of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has
obtained one of the anti-garote machines,
invented few years since, in the hope to
save his neck from the Administration
axe. After the cessation of hostilities

Douglas organ, presented curious ap-
pesrance. The first page contained one
half of Douglass Ottawa speech, prefsced
with the most extravagant praise, but
closing with this sentence in parehthesis
Here Douglas broke down. and tried
to bring Lincoln to his milk The rest
