The axes were taken out of the fasces whenever fasces were brought into the city of Rome, as a symbol that the rights of the citizens were superior to the authority of the state. Presumably, then, the absence of the axes symbolizes that Lincoln upheld the rights of citizens over the authority of the state, i.e., the emancipation of slaves.

A fasces symbolized power and authority in ancient Rome. It was a bundle of rods tied around an axe, carried by Roman magistrates as a symbol of their authority to mete out punishment. The fasces represented unity in strength, reflecting the idea that individuals are stronger when united together.

I believe the symbol you are referring to is the fasces. It is a bunch of wooden sticks tied together, with an ax attached. The word fasces is also where the name Fascism comes from.

The fasces was originally a special symbol of rank for officials of the Roman Republic. High ranking officials would be guarded by bodyguards called lictors; each lictor would carry a fasces. The higher ranking the official, the more lictors they had, so that everyone knew what rank they were.

The fasces didn't suffer the publicity problems that the swastika suffered due to World War 2, and is still occasionally seen in the US. For example, the seal of the US Senate, the bureau in charge of the National Guard, and the chair that Lincoln sits on at the Lincoln Memorial- all feature a pair of fasces.
