The key point here is that the second equilibrium occurs after demand has increased, that is demand has shifted. Every equilibrium price describes a different demand situation.  Therefore, the fact that more is purchased at a higher price when demand increases does not refute the law of demand.  Note that on the second demand curve and schedule, more would still be purchased at a lower price.
