Governor Buckingham, of Connecticut, whose labors throughout the war were unceasing and of vast importance, responded to the President's call for troops by issuing a proclamation on the same day, urging the citizens of the State to volunteer their services inthe equipment of the soldiers.

The nomination for Governor by the Republicans of William A. Buckingham, the incumbent, who had, both officially and personally, been a strenuous and prominent champion of coercion, was fairly countered by the presentation, as his competitor, of Col. Thomas II. Seymour, an ex-Governor of decided personal popy manifested; while the canvass that ensued thereon was one of the most animated and energetic ever witnessed even in that closely balanced State: its result being the triumph of the Republicans by a much reduced but still decisive majority. Buckingham, 41,032; Seymour, 38,395. It is quite probable that a candidate less decidedly and conspicuously hostile to the War than Col. Seymour might, while polling fewer votes, have come much nearer an election; since Seymour's nomination was a challeng

readers of next day's journals will detect no unmanly exultation over the fallen, and scarcely a word bespeaking wrath or bitterness, or demanding vengeful inflictions on those whose unhallowed ambition had so long divided, so widely devastated, and so nearly destroyed, the Republic. That joyful Monday was the Annual Election in Connecticut--a State so closely contested barely five months before — but now every county went Republican by an aggregate majority of over 10,000 Governor — Buckingham (Repub.), 42,374; O. S. Seymour (Dem.), 31,339.--the victorious host, for the first time in many years, choosing a Representative in Congress from each of the four districts, and making a pretty clean sweep locally and generally. A leading Democratic journal accounted for its party's over-whelming defeat by the fact that the votes were cast while guns were thundering, bands playing, and excited crowds shouting themselves hoarse, over the fall of Richmond. Petersburg was of course eva

Doc. 19. Gov. Buckingham's proclamation. Eleven States of the Union are now armed and in open rebellion against National authority; they have paralyzed the business of the nation, have involved us in civil war, and are now exerting their combined energies to rob us of the blessings of a free Government. The greatness of their crime has no parallel in the history of human Governments. At this critical juncture our liberties are still further imperilled by the utterance of seditious langungs for the punishment of those who disturb the public peace, of those who are guilty of sedition and treason, and of those who are engaged in combinations to obstruct the execution of the laws, so that peace may again be restored to our distracted country, and the liberties of the people be preserved. Given under my hand and the seal of this State, at Hartford, this, the 31st day of August, A. D. 1861. Wm. A. Buckingham. By his Excellency's command: J. Hammond Trumbull, Secretary of State.

Glad to get rid of troublesome subjects, he readily granted charters for settlements in America; and in 1612 two heretics were burned in England, the last execution of that kind that occurred in that country. His son Henry, Prince of Wales, died the same year, and his daughter Elizabeth was married to the Elector Palatine in 1613. His treatment of Sir Walter Raleigh, whom he caused to be beheaded (October, 1618), was disgraceful to human nature; his foreign policy, also, was disgraceful to the English name. Fickle, treacherous, conceited, and arbitrary, his whole life was an example to be avoided by the good. Dickens's portrayal of his personal character is a fair picture of his reign so far as the King was concerned. It was during that reign that a new translation of the Bible was authorized (1604）—the English version yet in use. The Duke of Buckingham was James's special favorite for a long time; and he and the Queen were suspected of causing the King's last illness, by poi

not intended to apply to all questions which had arisen or might arise between the crown and the Parliament, but merely to those which had arisen since Charles's accession. Parliament had waived, for the present at least, the consideration of Buckingham's misconduct. It had also waived the consideration of the question of impositions. The motives of the Commons in keeping silence on the impositions were probably twofold. In the first place, they probably wished to deal separately with theu the cause, though I must avow, that I owe the account of my actions to God alone. It is known to every one, that a while ago the House of Commons gave me a Remonstrance, A general remonstrance on the misgovernment of the kingdom, in which Buckingham was named as the author of abuses, had been presented to the King on June 17. how acceptable every man may judge; and for the merit of it, I will not call that in question, for I am sure no wise man can justify it.
