Could you buy your way out of the draft by paying someone to take your place?

No. Identification is too significant to allow one to replace another for a draft.
The above answer is certainly correct today in the United States, and has been since the early 20th century. Being drafted is a legal personal obligation, and cannot be discharged by any other person (in the same way that you can't pay someone to serve a prison sentence for you).
However, before that, it was entirely possible to pay someone to serve your obligation. This was particularly prevalent in the North during the American Civil War.

Who could be drafted in the confederate draft?
The Confederate draft began in 1862 for the Civil war. Men were selected from the ages of 18-35 years of age. As the war continued along its bloody path, the age of draft was changed form 17-50 years of age and the times of service was for three years. Mostly single men were drafted. Married men could only be drafted after all the single men had been drafted. Exemptions to draft included those men who could purchase someone to take his place or even pay his way out of the draft.

What were the sedition and espionage acts and how did they affect citizen?

The Espionage Act was a direct result of the Selective service act, which was put in place so that all men ages 18-45 years had to register for the military draft, and made it illegal for men to avoid the draft. (By fleeing the country, paying someone to take their place, etc.) The Sedition Act made it illegal (a crime) to publish anything against the government during a time of war, Limiting the U.S. Citizens freedom of speech rights during war.

How could a union draftee get out of service in the civil war?
They could hire someone to take their place. It was not uncommon during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War for individuals to hire replacements to serve part or all of their obligation. Most states and counties were given quotas, and if they weren't filled with volunteers, there would be a draft. In some cases people would contribute money to bounty founds to encourage people to volunteer so that a draft could be avoided.
