An analysis of the above record shows
L. That Charles II. Buckdleto opposed
erery measure tending to aid in the suppress
sion Of the rebellion.
l. He voted against paying bouutes to
volunteers. He would have deprived the
soldier of all bounties because he hated the
cause for which they fought, and wanted
to discourage the enlistment of volunteers.
2. lie voted against giving the black SOL
dier, the same pay as white. a pro-slave-
ry, rebel-sympathizing Democrat, he be-
lieved the negro tit only for slave ! and
after the black man has found his loyalty,
his bravery and his manhood, Buckalew
would still have him degraded.
8. He voted against the conscription law
without which it would have been impossi-
BILE to maintain the efficiency of the armies,
and defeat the rebellion. When this law
came to be enforced he encouraged an or
ganization to resist its execution,
4. lie voted against an appropriation Of
twenty-five million dollars, to pay one
hundred day volunteers, or emergency
men. lie would rather that the State Cap
itol had fallen into the hands Of the enemy
than that Lee had been driven back from
