RECORD OF CHARLES R. BUCKALEW.
Wc ask the voters of Pennsylvania to
examine attentively the record ol Charles
R. Buckalew as a member of the United
States Senate for six years, presented be
low, and decide from it what claims he
has now on them for the highest honors
within their gift.
Charles It. lluckalew, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, served as a Uni
ted States Senator from Pennsylvania
from 18G3 to 18GD. It is well known
in fact, notorious that all through the
war his sympathies were with the rebels.
He was a leader among the copperhead
Democracy, that wing of the party which
kept up a constant fire in the rear of the
Union armies, by giving aid and comfort
to the enemy. He was not an open
enemy, like Vallandigham ; but a crafty,
politic adversary, who, whenever it was
possible, would move in disguise and
cover up his tracks. lie was, to all in
tents ami purposes, a rebel in the ranks
of the brave men who were fighting
against treason. He was, therefore, a fit
and trusty emissary of the Conlederacy
one who could be relied on to impart
any information that might damage the
Union cause and help the rebels ; one
who was willing to consult with the re
bel agents in Canada, and encourage them
to persevere in their efforts to overthrow
the republic. At home he was in the
confidence of those organizations formed
to resist the draft, and was the head and
front of a powerful opposition in his own
county a combination whose acts were
as treasonable as was the firing upon Fort
Sumpter. When men were most needed
to fill decimated ranks, aud conscription
had to be resorted to, Buckalew not only
tacitly counseled resistance to tho pro
cess tf the law. but aided and eucouraged
it by welcomiug deserters and fugitives
from the draft. So firmly and steadfastly
was he committed to the cause of dis
union, that he never permitted himself
to say or do aught that might injure the
rebel cause. When forced to act he was
always found helping the enemy, whether
as a private citizen or a public officer.
His record as a Uuited States Senator is
in complete harmony with his other acts.
That the people of Pennsylvania may
judge this mau by his acts, we append
record oi his votes while Senator :

An analysis of the above record shows :
. That Chuilts R. HucJtulcw npoii d
every mersure feuding to aid in the sup
2ressioH of the rebellion.
1 1. He voted ogaiust paying bounties to
volunteers, lie would have deprived the
soldier of all bounties because he hated
the cause for which tluy foig'it, and
wanted to discourage the eulistmcut oi
volunteers.
2. He voted against giving the black
soldiers the same pay as white. A pro
slavery, rebel sympathizing Democrat, he
believed the negro fit only for a slave ; ar.d
after the black man had proved his loyalty,
his bravery and his mauhood, Buckalew
would still have had him degraded.
3. He voted against the conscription
law, without which it would have been
impossible to maintain the efficiency of
the armies, and defeat the rebellion. When
this law came to be enforced he encour
aged an organization to resist its execution
4. lie voted ugaiost au appropiatiou of
twenty five million dollars, to pay one
hundred day volunteers, cr emergency
meu. Ho would rather that the State cap
ital had fallen into the hands of the enemy
than that Lee lud been driven back from
Gettysburg.
5 He voted agaiubt the bill to restrict
the expenses of the collection of soldiers'
claims against the government'. Tbisf wa's
entirely consistent. lie was' in' favor of
paying soldiers only as little as possible,
and when a soldier had lost his life in the
service, his repeseotatives must pay aa
dearly as possible for collecting his claims.
6. He voted Jor piiying rebel slave own
ers for slaves drafted or received as volun
teers into the Union armies; and would
to-day vote for compensating the rebel
for the low of nil their slaves, and for pen
sioning disabled rebel solders. Such a
course would be cousisteot with his every
act and every vote. .
. That Charles R. BiicJcalew tiiti
dered, in every possible lcay, the icork of
reconstruct i n, excejit upon terms ac
ceptable to the rebels.
1. He was opposed to Senators taking
an oath renewing their allegiance and;
fidelity to the Uuited States. Having
acted with the traitors himself, givin'"1
aid and comfort to the eoeniy, and never"
having renounced his treason, he could
not have voted otherwise.
2. He voted against a resolution provid
ing that neither House of Congress should
admit Senators or representatives from the.
rebel States, until Congress should havtf
declared such States entitled to such repre
sentation. 3 He voted against admitting into Cbn--gress
the loyal representative from Ten
ucssee. 4. lie voted against the Reconstruction
