How Mr. Lincoln voted.

The public have been entertained with a telegraphic dispatch informing the world ‘"how Mr. Lincoln voted."’ It is edifying to learn that ‘"he advanced as rapidly as possible to the voting place,"’ exhibiting a commendable solicitude to ‘"vote early,"’ and that he ‘"handed in his ticket"’ with his own royal, nee rail-splitting fingers. It is pleasing to be assured that he ‘"cut off his own name"’ from the ticket, an example which the American people would have done well to follow.--After performing this ponderous achievement, he ‘"walked back,"’ whether fast or slow is not stated, amid the cheers of the Republicans, which he ‘"acknowledged by raising his hat and bowing"’ with his accustomed grace and elegance.
