.Merican Idols or Hmages.-We have
frequently had occasions to mention the
unremitted attention of Mr.. Poinsett to
the Literary and Scientific qualification
OF his fellow citizens. We have now
the pleasure of announcing the arrival of
very curious specimens of ancient Mex
lean sculpture, which have been sent by
this gentleman for the Museum Of the
Literary and Philosophical Society.
This collection consists of several ina
ges and large figure of snake, an
animal which appears to have been a
favorite object of representation with
the MPxicaus perhaps, also, an object
of alteration.
These images are well worthy of atten-
ton. They bear evident marks OF anti
guilty, and although the sculpture is
rude, it will be impossible for any one
who has examined the remains of anti
guilty, not to be struck with the strong
resemblance they bear to the workman
ship of the ancient Egyptians. The
sympathy, however, are evidently Mex
lean.
we consider these specimens as most
valuable accession to the collections Of
the Society, as every thing calculated to
illustrate the history and opinions of the
aborigines of this country must possess
peculiar interest.
These antique figures were accom-
panied by few minerals, among them
splendid specimen of Obsdian. te
The Literary and Philosophical Soci-
ETY. feels greatly indebted to MIR. Pom
sett for his continued and liberal exer-
tons to promote the objects Of its in

full to one who, amidst the engagements
and avocations of public life. seems me-
yer for moment TO forget the interest
Of science in his native land.

SAYING that, therefore, he did not see that
there was any necessity OF calling in for
o;gn aid!
WASHINGTON fixed his eye on the speaker
with mixture of surprise and Indignation,
while he uttered this impairment and inn
nious speech; and then looked around to
see in what manner it affected others
Thew did not leave him minute to doubt
no one deigned to reply, or take the
smallest notice of the speaker; but the
motion for appointing Chaplain was in
stantly seconded and carried; whether un-
der the silent disapprobation of Mr.. H.
--, or his solitary negative, I do not
recollect. The motion for an adjournment
was then put, and carried unanimously,
and the Convention adjourned according
ly.
The three days of recess we're spent in
the manner advised by DR.. Franklin the
opposite parties mixed with each other,
and free and frank interchange of senti-
ments took place. On the fourth day we
assembled again, and if great additional
light had not been thrown on the subject,
every unfriendly feeling had been expelled,
and spirit of Cancellation had been culti-
waited, which promised at least.a calm and
dispassionate Reconsideration of the sub
ject.
AS soon as the Chaplain had ended his
prayer, and the minutes of the last meet
ing were read, all eyes were turned to the
Doctor. He rose, and, in few words,
stated that, during the recess, he had lis
tened attentively to all the arguments pro
and con, which had been urged by both
sides of the House; that he had himself
said much,s and thought more on the sub
iect-he saw difficulties and objections
which might be urged by individual States
against every scheme which had been pro-
posed, and he thought now, more than ev-
er, that the Constitution which they were
about to form,in order to be just and equal,
must be formed on the basis of compromise
and mutual concession. With such views
and feelings, he would now move recon
sideration of the vote last taken on the Or
ganization of the Senate. The motion was
seconded, the vote carried, and the former
vote rescinded, and, by a successive mo-
ton and resolution, the Senate was organ
lied on the present plan.

THE ADAMS FAMILY.

THE ADAMS FAMILY.
Henry Adams, Joseph Adams, Sen. Joseph
Adams, Jun. John Adams, Sen. John Adams
Jun. 1.-THE late president of the U. S. or as he
stiles himself the iawyer,'') and John Quin-
cy Adams,is the genealogical succession of this
family, from their first settlement in this
country to the present time. Henry Adams
was native of DevOnshire in England. and
was compelled about two centuries ago to
emigrate by religious persecution and came
with the fathers of N. England, to lay the
foundation Of great empire in the west. He
brought with him very numerous family; no
less than eight sons, and how many daugh-
tiers is not known; and settled with his son,
Joseph Adams, sen. in Braintree in the vicinity
OF Boston; where they both resided till reno
we'd by death. Joseph Adams, jun. continued
IN the same place; also John Adams, sen. the
father of the late president who died in 1851;
his wife survived him, widow, to seeher "son
president of the United States; and that son
lived widower, to behold his son, John Qun-
cy Adams, elevated to the same high and homo
rable trust" 49,
The history of this family, furnishes an cx-
ceneht illustration, of the manner in which a
oe''etcent providence, accomplshes good Inv
the evil dispositions of men. No doubt Hen
ry Adams left his native country with great re-
luctance; but his property, liberty, and life
beng in danger, and being constantly assailed
oy intolerance and bigotry, the most unrelent
ing; he was compelled to sever the ties Of
friends kindred and country, to flee to the will
derness, and here encounter incalculahla hard
shlPs' In preparinga suitable abode for religions
and political liberty. He left posterity that
initiated the virtues Of their ancestor. fill Of
length these states acquired large share Of
maturity and strength; and the system of
British aggression commenced; when two Of
his descendants John and Samuel Adams. wor-
tiny OF their great progenitor, stepped forth to
indicate the rights of their country, and with
the aid of Washington accomplished its deliyc-
rance. Thus the prosecutions of a ceunfrv
gentleman in England, during the fore part of
the 18th century, has given two chief magis-
trates to an immense republic; and SO also an
act OF tyranny about the same time in preven-
ting the emigration of two men who were
probably not then more respectable than Hen

Oliver Cron1well) produced the subversion Of
the British throne and the decapitation of a
monarch. What immense consequences some
times result from causes comparatively trivial.

nous brethren, recognized themselves in
1892.
The views and proceedingsof the socie-
ty, thus renovated, and led on by the able
and untiring Pestel, were moro direct and
active than formerly, and aimed directly to
the overthrow of the imperial government.
lncipient measures, such as gaining over
several regiments Of the soldiery, settling
a plan of government, &c. &c. occupied
the society till towards the ond of the year
1894. At that time, every thing was ripe
for the blow, which was to be given by as
sasslnating tho emperor, on an expected
review of the troops by him. AS, howey-
er, the review did not take place. the at
tempt was necessarily postponed.
Several of the members began to waver
in their views and feelings: and SO indeci-
sive were they, that Pestel, the only sted-
last individual among them, was Obliged 10
agree to further postponement Of the
blow intended until 1926, when general
convention of the principal members was
to be held, and new steps decided ON.
