Abraham Lincoln Receiving his Friends in the Court Room of the State House, Springfield.
We give in our present number a sketch of the President elect receiving the congratulations of his friends and neighbors in the Court Room of the State House, Springfield. It would seem from all accounts that he received the news of his elevation with that equanimity which has distinguished his whole career. The capital of Springfield is a large handsome building of a yellowish stone, and has been erected about twenty years.
