More Democratic Victories 1 Last week we recorded a netios of brilliant Democratic triumphs in the North and West. This week we add to the column. Schotectady, N. Y.—ln this city, heretofore a stronghold of Black Re. publicanism, the Democracy gained a triumph at the repeat city election, carrying all the city officers except Mayor by large majorities, together with two-thirds of the Aldeimen and a majority of the Supervisors. .Buffalo.--At the municipal election in Buffalo, N. Y., on the 2d inst., the Democrats carried- their entire ticket ky handsome majorities. Bowe, Y.•—This thriving city ilea also been redeemed by the Democracy. At the recent cicalae they carried all the city °Akers h 3 frow 240 to 700 ma jority. • South East.--,At South Bast, Putnam county, N. Y., the Democrats chose their whole ticket by front 80 to Cr majority. This is the first triumph they have had for years. The Democracy of New York are be ginning to show their strength. In addition to the above, they have car ried a large number of places and coun ties heretofore controlled by the Re. publicans. Great Victory iti lowa Mg.—A great victory was achieved by the Democrats of lowa City—hitherto a real straight out Yankee Republican nest—at their municipal election, on the 2d inst.— They have made a clean sweep of it— electing a Illemocratiq Mayor, a Demo cratic Recorder, a Democratic Treasur er, a Democratic Marshal, a Demo. cratic Assessor, and eight Democratic Alderman. Well done, Iowa! Bearer Dam.—The city of Beaver Dam,Wis., elected an entire Democratic Municipal ticket by majorities ranging from 9 to 227. This city has always boon Republica?) I In Brookhaven, L. 1., Democratic Supervisors wore cleared by 801 ma jority. • fn Kenosha, Wie., the Democrats made a clean sweep. The Democrats of Freeport, 111., have carried that city by an Overwhelm ing majority. The work goes bravely on, and it will hot canoe until Republicanism is compelled to roust on the round : The nomination of the gallant. "Harry of the West" for Govornor; by the Democratic Convention at flooding, se cured a victory for us in Pennsylvania. All we now need, is thorough and cona pieta organization. r ni In the contest no quarter was asked or given. It was a square stand up fight, and the steady charges of the National Democracy caused the ranks of the sectionalists and abolitionists to waver, and in many plebes to give way. Their comparative strength is weaken ed, till their superior numbers, only sus tained at all by money, false ropreeen .tation, unfair means at the boards.and especially by forcing laborers to vote against their own convictions, are no longer large enough to give them confi dence. They are reduced to just about an even thing.

The point bee already beers gained by the Avow racy,. that a fell vote is no longer a g uaranty or victory to the opposition. We have been naked several times, i says the Journal of Cinuman*, how it lhappens that, when the Gubernatorial vote is so very close, there is so large a Republican majority in the House of I Representatives. One reason in this ; ithat there is a "rotten borough" system in operation in Connecticut, worse than any which (mks, or perhaps ever did exist, in England. For instance, New Haven and Ifanford, with an aggro gate population of 70,000, send four Representatives—two from each city.— Many townships with less than 1,500 inhabitants, and one (Union) with only 129 according to the last census, send lalso two Representatives each. With 1 the same ratio of representation to I population, Now haven and Hartford, instead of sending four ltepresentatives, would send 40 or 50; and with the sys tem in vogue in most of the other New England States, of choosing by general ticket, these 40 or 50 Representatives •would all be Democrats.

We are gratified to announce, says the Stotes,..as the resnit of the We juii gist eleeticnt in Wisconsin, that nullifi nation lute received its death blow in that State; that the recusant member has taken the initiative of restoration the Union. For four years Wiscon sM pair been in the condition of a revol ted State—a State out of the Union— in open resistance to the laws and in defiance of the authority of the United States; in oonsequence of which it bas been the pet State of the Black Repub licans us A living and shining example of successful rebellion. It was the first . State, and the only one to become tho roughly abolitionized. Its la wless mob had rebisted a United States law, abd its judiciary, executive and legislature, had joined with and protected its mob in such resistance. It had legalised treason and made loyalty to the Fede ral Government treason to the State. Our readers aro not, perhaps, all familiar I% ith the circumstances above I alluded to, which wo will briefly relate: Several years ago a fugitive slave, under west in Wisconsin, was rescued from the hands of the proper officer and I escaped; the leader of the mob which rescued the negro was indicted, tried, land convicted under the fugitive slave law ie the United Sifdell District Court and sentenced to fine tied imprison meet; the State Supreme Court grantellll writ of habeas corpus, upon which the case was reviewed, . the judgment set ;wide, and the prisoner discharged frern ar rest ; the case was cortiticel up to the Supreme Court of the United States, the decision of the State Court sot aside, and the prisoner ordered bacleints tho custody of the United States officer to undergo the sentence of the law; the mandate of the United States Supreme Court wee yieftled to by the chief jus tice of the State Court, but - was disre gerded by the other members of that court ; parties in the State, in the mean time, had become divided upon this question—the Democratic party pled ged to obey the United States law, an d the,Republican party pledged to forei i We resistance, if accessary—the latter being largely in the majority, and mak ing nullification the governing princi ple in i ehe State. An election Ibr chief justice being about to take place, the Republicans rejected the judge who had yielded tt, the autifirity of the United ri States Court, mMoininated a man pledged to resistance; the Democrats adopted the rejected judge, went into the canvass with the issue thus dearly defined, and they have triumphed in the election ofLutber S. Dixon, pledged to the Constitution and the Union, against the Black Republican, A. Scott Sloan, ?fledged to nullithettion and diem nioe. ' There is no mistnking the party bearing of this election. Sloan was clearly and distinctly upon the party ' platform of the State ; was endorsed unanimously by a Stute.Convention and supported by every paper of his party in the State. is a clean party defeat, and a most portentous oue to the Black Republicans. There was no State where abolitionism exhibited itself in a more virulent form ;. and it, is there it has first exhausted itself, by its , own ''violence. There was no State more certainly counted on for the Black Re publican candidate for Preeident ; and there is not ono more certain for the Democratiocandidate, with arectsonable nomination at Charleston. Until within tho last few years, the Abolitionists of Connecticut, always ran a separato ticket for State officers, and generally polled about 3,000 votes. These are now all givers to the Republi can candidates, and so the Democrats have to contend with the aggregate of both. There have been but two years, in a long period, when the Democratic vote exceeded the combinod OppOsition vote, and those wore 1353 and 1853. Three or four years ago the Republicans and Jinow Nothings got the Conistitetlon so &Halted as to prohibit any one from voting who cannot read and write.— This, they calculated, would disfranchise a portion of the Irish population, who are mostly Democrats. Yet, in spite of all these drawbacks, tho Democrats, at the recent election, came within about 500 votes of swamping the whole passe eomitatus of Rep,*limns, Aboli tionists, and Know Nothings eombined.

The combatants were John C. Heenan, of New York, and Tofu Sayers, the present English champion. The sport ing world has for the last six months boon in a state of excitement on the subject ; it has been the leading subject of discussion in all the sporting journ als of the country. So much interest has been taken in this brutal affair, that, we believe, every paper of the kind has had a reporter on the ground. Mr. Wilkes, editor of Wilkes' Spirit, crossed the )ttlantie himself for the purpose of being present.

Siokasn's Rejlert *a the Pres& deat's Fretest. We were complimented by the omis sion to furnish to the Journal of Commerce a copy of the report of Mr. Hickman, which was supplied to the Republican press of this city, in advance of its presentation to Congress, and published yesterday. Certainly we could have no desire to publish a docu ment whose chief characteristic is an exibition of political rancor and parti ; tanship quite unparalleled; and which refers to u pretended Invesiightion, ori ginally suggested by party malice, and disgraceful to the body whioh by a parr tizan majority hits sanctioned it. The Investigating Committee, of which Mr. Covode is chairman, was raised, not to examine any charges pre.: ferred against the President, but to gratify a malicious partizan spirit, in the hope of annoying that functiona and of producing political capital for his enemies. Instead of preferring charges upon which procedings for impeach ment could be based, the responsible • party in the House of Representatives, , knowing the impossibility of succeeding in any such' undertaking, preferred to institute a roving commission, to smell odt the political slanders always rife against distinguished pablia won, in concoct a report which, without taking the responsibility of a legitimate pro. seeding upon, specific charges, could impugn the integrity of the Chief Mag istrate, throw suspicion upon his public career, and thus manufacture party ; capital for the next Presidential cam paign. Against this improper exercise of power the President chose to enter his protest; to tell the house of Reprosest. Latices that iu thus instituting an inqui. sition into the acts of a co-ordinate brunch of the Government. it was ex ceeding its proper authority; and that it. would do better to cunt' uu its proceed. inch to the course pointed out by the Constitution. Upon this paper the Ju diciary Committee was directed to re port, and has accordingly produced the docuuteut se industriously furnished to the Republican press to advent:a of its► presentutieu to the Use of Reprosea. Wawa. 'flu) report, concludes as lot. lows : COXXCIJCATID. Tho Committee, ontertaking the views herein expressod, roCommentl the udoption of the following rusohk. tion : Resolved, That the House dissent% from the doctrines of the special flies. sage of the President of the United States, of March 28, 1860 That the extent of power eonteraplat, ed in the adoption of the resolution oY inquiry of March 5, 1860, is necessary to the proper discharge of the Constitu tional dnties devolVeu uuon Congress; That judicial determinations, the opinions of former Presidents, end uni. form usage sanction its exercise; and, That to abandon it would leave the t executive department, of the Govern ment without supervision or remponsi. bitity, and would be likely to yield to Concentration of power in the hands of the President, dangerous to the rights of a free people. The assumption is here put forth that. the Executive department of the Gov ernment is to be under the supervision of the noose of Representatives. To this. extent it is so—that the Constitution providixt a mode of proceeding, when the President is chargecf:Witib high erimos of misdemeanors. That body is entrusted with the duty of an inquiry into ouch charges, with the view 01 pm suiting a gasnon for the action of the Senate, upon whith body devolve alt trials fur impeachment. BuCthis provision was never designed to set on foot a mere tuirtizan - bused upon nu responsible charges, and insti tuted simply to discover what measures had been resorted to by the optioneutx of the majority of the louse, in order to curry the elections. For, disguise, and gloss the subject us we may, II feet is patent to every intelligent man, that the movement in question was novet desi.,iied as a basis for impeachment ot' the President, but simply as a political scheme to concentrate public odium up on the party opposed to the responsible majority in the House of Itepresenta. tives. .As such, it will be ooadvinucd by fairminded men, and in the end re. coil upon those political managers who have sought to turn it to partat adva.a- Lal„fe. The Free Banking Laic. -- . The author of the Free Banking Bill, which pawed the last Legislature, and became u writes as follows to the Philadulpiti dully News : “Persons misapprehend the opera tions of the Free Bunking Law ofl'enii. sylvr,nia. They suppose that the do. pomits of State or United States stock is part of the cap;tul of banks t.ci be form ed under the law. Thu depositefatoek is merely to secure the notoholdor, and nothing more. Suppose, for instance fire men desired to establish a bank of the smallest kind—that is, wicks capi tal of 630,000. The bank must hare 30, per cent. of its - capital to commence with in specic—that i5,410,00Q. Tho bunk then purchases State stick and, deposits it with the Auditor General, so as to secure 810,000 in circulating notes, and no more. .It will not then be neces sary to keepithis 810,000 in specie idle in the bank, as only 20 per cent, or 000, is necessary, according to the 81st section of the law, to"socure the notehol der. If the bank desires more -eireula ting notes, it must pinup a oorrespond ing amount of stock, t.nd add - 20 per - cent. of that amount in specie to reautin in the bank."
