These votes are based on the 100 votes given for Fremont. aaaa Connecticut All Bight. The returns from Connecticut show a complete triumph of the Bepubhcan party. Ibis was unexpected to tne JJemocracy. as every appliance which a corrupt party could invent was brought to bear in that contest. It has had a most damaging effect upon the Douglas stock.

The New York Independent, speaking with personal knowledge of Judge Bates, says, in regard to his nomination for the Presidency, (which that Journal does not ad vocate,) that: There is no better man than liA-nnno in ! whose religious fidelity and far-sighted patri - otism, and manly independence ol spirit, the great trust of the Presidency could be more safely committed. To us the objection that he was not a member of the Bepublican party in 1856 is of no weight. It is enough that on the great question of the day the question of slavery as related to the federal government and the federal constitution he takes as such a man cannot but take the right side. He holds the old doctrine in regard to slavery the doctrine of the Revolution and the ordinance of 17S7 the doctrine of Washington and FranLlin, of Jefferson and Madison, in the days when Virginia had not been degraded into "the slave coast" ot America the doctrine of Roger Sher man, and Oliver Ellsworth, and John Jay. !

To tbx HorsE or Represxstattvxs: After a delay which has afforded me ample time for reflection, and after natch and careful deliberation, I find myself constrained by an imperious sense of duty as a co-ordinate branch of the Federal Government, to protest against the two first clauses of the first resolution adopted by the House c Representatives on the 5th inst , and published in the Congressional Globe on the succeeding day. TheLnses are in the following words: First. "Resolved, That a Committee of five members be appointed by the Speaker, for the purpose of investigating whether the President of the United States, or any -officer of the Governmen, has, by money, Batronaee or other improper means, sought to influence the passage oi any law appertaining to the rights cf any State ot Territory, Second. "Also to inquire into and investi gate whether any officer or officers of the Government has, by combination or otherwise, prevented or attempted to prevent or defeat the execution of any law or laas, now upon the statute book, or whether the President has failed or refused to compel the ex ecution of any law thereoi. "I confine myself exclusively to these two brandies of tbe resolution, lecause tne portions of it which follow, relate to alleged abuses in the Post Office, Navy Yards, PubBuildings, and other Public Works of tbe United Slates. "In such cases inquiries are highly proper in themselves, and belong equally to the Sen-, ate and House, as incident to their legislative duty, and being necessary to enable them to discover and provide appropriate legislative remedies for any abuses which may be ascertained. Although the terms of the latter portion of the resolution are extremely vague and general, yet my sole purpose in adverting to them at present is to make the broad line of distinction between the accusatory and remedial clauses of this resolution. "The House of Bepresentatives possess no power, under the Constitution, over the first, or accusatory position of the resolution, ex cept as an lmpescning body; whilst over the last, in common with the Senate, their au thority as a legislative body is fully and cheerhilly acmitteu. it is It is Eolely in reference to the first, or impeachinc power, that I propose to make a few observations. Except in this I smjle case, the Constitution lias invested tne i House of Bepresentatives with no power, no j jurisdiction, no supremacy whatever over the president, m an omer respects ne is quue ; s independent of them as they are of him. Ad a i:o-oruiIltttr uiHiiwU ul l h: uuiciuiurui, he is their equal; indeed, he is the only di- j rect representative on earth of the people ol all and each of the sovereign States. j "To them and them alone is he responsible, whilst acting within the sphere of his consti-1 tutional duty, and not in any manner to the j House of Bepresentatives. The people have thought proper to invest him with the most honorable, responsible and dignified oflicein i the world, and the individual, however un worthy, now holding the exalted position,! will lake care so far as in him lies, that their j r'Sms ana perogwiyes snan never ne ioiaien j in his person but shall pass to his successors j unimpaired by the adoption ol a dangerous precedent. He will defend them to the last extremelv against any unconstitutional athave also conferred en h!m a large measure ! of legislative discretion. No bill can become I a law without his approval, as representing the people of the L'nited States, unless it shall pass after his veto by a majority of two thirds of both Houses. In his legislative ' capacity he might, in common with the Sen- ,' te ,na"".e: 18"lul? qry io ascertain any lacts w men are io innuence nisjuacmeni irj; ili r vetoing any bill. "This participating in the performance ofj legislative duties between co-ordinate branch- ' es of the Government, ought to inspire thej conduct of all ol th(m, in their relations to-1 , , i e u wards each other, with mutual forbearance at)d refpect; at least each has a right to dem and justice of the other. "The cause of complaint is that the consti tutional T'hts and, 'n-'niullitjes of tije Ecu. tive have been violated in the person of the pre(.j,erjt. "The trial of an impeachment . f the Pres. ident, before the Senate, on charges prefer led against him by the House of Repreeenta tives, would be an imposing spectacle for the world. In the result, not only his removal from the Presidential office would be involved but what is of infinitely greater importance to himself, his character, both in the eyes ol the present and of future generations, might possibly be tarnished. "The disgrace cast npon him would in some degree be reflected upon the character of the American people, who elected him. Hence the precautions adopted by the Constitution to secure a lair trial. On such a trial it declares that the Chief Justice shall preside. This was doubtless because the trainers of the Constitution believed it to bo possible that the ice President might be Wased by the fact that in case of the removal ' Ui?,4. tvm . . w. 11, a .L. devolve upon the Vice President "ine preliminary proceeairgs in tne House, in case of charges which may involve impeachment, have been well and wisely settled by long practice npon principles of equal justice, both to the accused and to the people. The precedent established in the case of Judge Peck, of Missouri, in 1831, after a careful review of all the former precedent , . will I venture to predict, stand the test of time. In that case, Luke Edward Lawless,! the accuser, presented a petition to the House, . i - i. t . r..i. - . . i i r ' that "the conduct and proceedings ia the behalf cf the said Judge Peck may be inquired into by your honorable body, and such decis ion made thereof as to your wisdom and jus- j tice shall seem proper." J "'This petition was referred to the Judio-j " . . . 1 1 T lary uimmiiiK. oucu nas ever oeen ueemed the appropriate Committee to make a similar investigation. "It is a standing commitlee, supposed tobe appointed without reference to any special case, and at all times is presumed to be composed of the most eminent lawyers in thtHouse from different portions of the Union, whose acquaintance with judicial proceedings and whose habit of investigation qualify them peculiarly for the task. No tribunal from their position and character could be more impartial. "In the case of Judge Peck, the witnesses were selected by the com mi tee itself, with a view to ascertain the truth of the charges. They were cross-examined by him, and every thing was conducted in such a manner as to afford him no reasonable cause for complaint. In view of this precedent, and. what is of far greater importance, in view of the Constitution and the principles of eternal

justice, in what manner1! the President of the United States been treated by the House of Representatives? !-.'; eft "Mr. John Covode, a representative from Pennsylvania, is an accuser of the PresidentInstead of following the wise precedents ol former times, and especially that in the case of Jud-e Peck, and referring the accusation to the Committee on the Jadiciary. the House lias made my accuser one of my Judges.

Thus in this preliminary accusation of high crimes and misdemeanors Against a co-ordinate branch of the Government under the impeaching power, !he House refused to hear a single suggestion, even in regard o the mode of proceeding, but without a moment's delay passed accusatory resolutions under the pressure of the previous question "In the institution of a prosecution for any offense against the mo&t humble citizen, (and I claim for myself no greater rights than he enjoys,) the Constitution of the United States and of the several States require that he shall be informed in the veiy beginning of tbe nature and cause of tbe accusation against him, to prepare for his deknse. There are other principles which I might enumerate. not less sacred, presenting an impenetrable shield to protect every citizen falsely chaigcd with a ciiminal offense. These have been

violated in the prosecution instituted by the j spectful sentiment. House of Representatives against the Exec-J The House of Representatives propose to utive branch of the Government.

"1 have lived long in this goodly land, and have enjoyed all the offices of honor which my country could bestow; amid all the political storms through which I have passed, the present is the first attempt which was ever made to my knowledge to assail my personal and official integrity; and this has oecn uone as tiie time is approacning wnen l shall voluntarily retire from the service of i3. i n hut Adai nfvw Ifsaanl ruirCAn alls ej. nciiyMic 1-.

I do not fear even this; because I cherish an humble confidence that the gracious Being who has hitherto defended and protected me against tbe shafts ol falsehood and malice, will not desert me now when I have become old and grayheaded. "I can declare before God and my country that no human being, with an exception scarcely worthy of notice, has at any period of my life, dared to approach me with cor rupt or dishonorable propositions, and until recent developments it had never entered into my imagination that any person, even in a etorm of exasperated political excitement, would charge me in a most remote decree humM j 3 "1 may now, however, exclaim in the lan gnage of complaint employed by my first and greatest predecessor, that I have been abused in such exaggerated indecent terms as could scarcely be applied to a Xero, to a notorious defaulter, or even to a common pickpocket. "I do, therefore, for tbe reasons stated, md in the name of the people of the several itai.es, solemnly protest against these proleedings of the House ot Representatives; because they are in violation ol the rights of a co-ordinate executive branch of the Government, and subversive of its constitutional independence; because they are calculated to foster a band of interested parasites and informers, ever ready, for their own ad vantage, to swear before ei parte committees to pretended private conversations between the President and themselves, incapable from their nature of being disproved, thus furu ishing material for harrassiog him. degrading him ia the eyes of the country, and eventually, should he be a weak or timid man, rendering him subservient to improper infla ences in order to avoid such persecutions and annoyance; because they tend to destroy that harmonious action for tbe common good which ought to be maintained, and which I sincerely desire to cherish, between the coordinate branches of the Government; and finally, because, if unresisted, thjy would establish a precedent dangerous aad embay-

We hope Congress will sustain Mr. Covode and his committee in their efforts to expose the conduct of the President, and if guilty, impeach him nnd imprison him for the remainder of his life. The correspondent of the New York Herald says the President was served with all the testimony taken before the Covode committee, having any personal reference to himself, before he prepared his message. He found the evidence stronger than he could well get along with, hence his throwing himself on his reserved rL'hts. The New York Times, in speaking of this message, says: Mr. Buchanan is evidently aggrieved. The j message which he sent to Congress yester-r dav, is one of the most lachrymose docu ments ever issued from the White House. "What it lacks in dignity, it makes up in wounded pride. It is a vehement appeal to public compassion, too humiliating to inspire respect, and not sumciently dignitied to en- ! list any considerable degree of sympathy. lt is in every respect a painful document one which will be read everywhere with surprise, and which is much more likely to exj cite contempt than any more amiable or re- , me responsibility, ii ne were a neopnyie in politics, ignorant of political chicanery and the arts of intrigue and corruption which pave the way ot ambitious and aj-piring dema gogues if he had been suddenly snatched , by a despairing country from the seclusion of bviP1 - '16 ancl thrust into public service as ; lue "UPB uecajiug estate tiierei iii . i i . -1 . would be room to believe his astonishment and his protestations to be sincere.

We are highly pleased to learn that tbe Reciprocality Treaty which we condemned at the time of its pas8sge, and which we have frequently, and on all proper occasions, denounced, is exciting the attention of Congress. The telegraph reports petitions from all parts of New Yoik are pouring in, praying that the reciprocity treaty with Canada may be amended or rescinded. Hostility to it is growing more bitter daily, so ruinous is it to the interests of Western New Ycrk. Air. Hatch's report will not only be thoroughly condemnatory of the treaty, but will urge that it be abrogated at the earliest possible d.ty. President Buchanan will lay the report immediately before Congress. This reciprocity treaty is not alone ruinous to the interests of Western New York. It is equally unjust to all the Western agricultural S ates, and jiuch more 60 to Indiana and Illinois than to any part of New York. The ftcility for taking wheat and other ag ricultural products from Canada iato the manufacturing districts of New England, is much greater than from the Western States, consequently to compete with Canada, the Western farmer has to pay the high rates of transportation from the West to the New England market. We have heretofore elucidated the unjustne-s of this treaty at considerable length, and will not now repeat what we have heretofore said, but it is to be hoped that Congress will promptly repeal the treaty. ttW Tbe editor of the Lafayette Courier says be was informed by Senator Bright at Washington, afew days ago. that on that morning he received three letters from Indiana, one of which informed bim of the illness of Hon. John L. Robinson, and the oter two contained applications for his vacant office, in case be should die. . '

Bi aiAt. of tri Kino of the Grpsrxs About one thousand of our citizens attended the funeral of Owen Stanley, "King of tbe Gypsies," yesterday. His remains were interred in the grave of "Maud," his Queen, who was buried in Woodland Cemetery, about two years since. The large crowd waa attracted by the report that "regal ceremo nies, etc ," were to be performed ' at the grave. In this all were disappointed. About 10 o'clock the coffin was taken from the vault and placed in the hearse, whereupon the crowd scampered off to the grave, dis playing more haste than order, leaving the Gipsies, some fifty in number, to follow their : Kintr to his last borne The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. D. Winters, from 1st Chronicles, xxix: 15. For we ere strangers before theo. and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on tna earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. After which an opportunity was given all to satisfy their curiosity by looking into the giave. Owen Stanley was born in Reading, Berkshire County, England. 1794; was married to Harriet Mis ten in 1820, and died in Madison, Indiana, about six weeks ago. of dropsy. He had 15 children, 12 of whom are living, 40 grand children and two greatgrand children. After the burial, four Gipsy children weie baptized by Mr. W inters at the residence of Mr. Lane, Sexton of Woodland. Since tbe death of Owen, Levi, his son, a .ill - , ... oecomes me leaaer oi me cisn. tie is a handsome and remarkably intelligent man, and well fitted by nature and education to rule his nomadic brethren. His wife, according to the Pittsburg Post, is noble specimen of the genuine Gipsy, and is a remark able personage. Iu appearance she is tall and stately, with the presence and demeanor of one born to rule. Her hair is dark and luxuriant,; her eyes large, dark and brilliant; her complexion is a ruddy brunette; and her features are regular and handsome. . Her mien and Mep are as proud and stately as those of "McGregor on his native heath. With her broad-btimmed hat and holiday attire; brilliant with strong contrasts; such as the mothers of her tribe delighted to wear, she looks every inch a queen. Stanley aod his handsome wife would do credit as the royal head of a people more refined than these Gipsy wanderers, who trace their gen - ealogy lar back; into the tbe shadows of the dark age. Z?ay'o Journal. T A terrible gas explosion occurred at Buffalo recently. It took place in a portion of a block occupied by F.W. Lohoase, shoemaker, he living with his family on the floor above. He had been absent daring the day with lis wife, and on returning in the evening, they were struck by a strong smell of gas. They passe 1 up stairs and thoughtlessly struck np a light, ignorant of the amount of gas in the room. An explosion instantly followe I. theforce of hich was so great that the windows of tbe room were completely crushed into fragments, aod the partition separating that room from the next, was torn in to splinters. In the adjoining store of Knapp Sc A yer. distillers, liquor casks were burst by the force of the concussion, and glass was brokeo across the street.
