4 II RESOLUTIONS OF MR.. SUMNER
On Monday last Mr.. SUMNER, of Massa-
chusetts, introduced the following resolu-
tons. They were doubtless intended as a
test of the views of the Senate on the sla-
very question, and upon which, if adopted,
subsequent legislation will be based:
1. RESOLVED, That, in order to determine the
duties of the National Government at the pres
ent moment, it is of the first Importance that
we should see and understand the real charac-
ter of the contest which has been forced upon
the United States for q failure truly to appre-
ciate this contest must end disastrously in a
failure of those proper efforts which are essen
tial to the re-establishment of unity and con-
cord that, recognizing the contest in its real
character, as it must be recorded by history,
it will be apparent beyond controversy, that
this is not an ordinary rebellion, or an ordinary
war, but that this is absolutely without prece-
dent, differing clearly from every other rebel
lion and every other war, inasmuch as it is an
audacious attempt, for the first time in history
to found o wicked power on the cornerstone
of slavery; and that such an attempt having
this single Object-whether regarded as rebel
lion or as warts so completely penetrated and
absorbed, so entirely filled and possessed by
slavery. that it can be justly regarded as moth
ing else than the huge impersonati6n of this
crime at once rebel and belligerent, or, in other
words. as slavery in arms.
?. Resolred. That recognizing the unques-
tionable identity of the rebellion and of slavery,
40 that each is to the other as another self, it
becomes plain that the rebellion cannot be
crushed without crushing slavery, as slavery
cannot be crushed without crushing the rebel
lion; that every forbearance to the one is a
forbearance to the other and every blow at the
one is blow at the other; that all who tole-
rate slavery, Tolerate the rebellion and all who
strike at slavery, strike at the rebellion; and
that, therefore, it is our supremest duty, in
which all other present duties are contained.
to take care that the barbarism OF slavery in
which alone the rebellion has Its origin and
life is so utterly trampled out that It can never
spring up again anywhere in the rebel ana bel.
ngerent region for leaving the duty undone
nothing Is done, and all our blood ana treasure
have been lavished In vain.
g. Received That in dealing with the rebel war
the National Government is invested with two
classes of rghts-one the Rights Of Sovereignty,
inherent and indefeasible everywhere within
the limits of the United States, and the other

THE MAIDEN MURDER.
Further observation-disclosures of
the Murderer.

Further observation-disclosures OF
the Murderer.
From the Boston Post, 10TH ae.- 1i..
Since the arrest of Edward w. Green,
the postmaster of Maiden, for the murder
of young Converse, many circumstances
before unknown except to few have been
brought to light, and which tended to con-
firm the suspicious excited in the minds of
those engaged in ferreting out the murder
or. After the circle which included the
Bank Directors and one or two others was
formed, Mr.. NJ. S. Shedd informed Mr..
Lamson that he believed that Green COM
mitted the murder. He was accordingly
admitted to the circle, and being an init
mate friend of Green, has lately accompa-
MED him on most of his visits to this city,
and has noticed many facts which contin-
ually strengthened his belief that the muir
derer was at last found. On one of these
occasions the two were making purchases
ut store in Charlestown, when inquiry
was made whether there had been any fur
Their arrests on account of the murder of
Converse. Green did not snswer, and Mr..
Shedd purposely made an Indifferent re-
ply. They returned home through Somer-
vile, and on the way met a gentleman
who made similar inquiry. This time
M. Shedd thought he would let Green an
swer. After brief pause, Green said he
believed they were after somebody, add
ing, "The next thing You hear, Green, the
postmaster, will be shot through the
CRATES.
It is not known that he ever himself
commenced conversation about the muir
der, except on one occasion, viz: on
Tuesday of last week, while riding out with
Mr. Shedd, Green spoke about the murder
and asked Shedd if he thought Mr.. -,

was guilty. The reply of Mr.. sbedd was
No, do not believe that he is any more
guilty than You are" Mr.. Shedd saws the
manner of Mr.. Green was very much em-
barrassed. 1-sf4 -aI 80 sFr44 I'D
Since he was committed to jail Green
seems overwhelmed with remorse and
grief Heis confined in what is known as
the "old Jail building " at East Cambridge,
in the cell with two other criminals
When visited yesterday morning, Green
was found lying upon one of the beds,
with his face buried in his hands. One of
the visitors saluted him with, "Good
morning, Mr.. Green; q fine day, &c.,
and shook him by the hand. Mr.. Green
replied Eyes it il a fine day, but not a
very pleasant one for me" and immedi-
ately burst into tears. His manifesta-
tons Of emotion were very touching and
lasted some moments After q short time
Green engaged in conversation more free
ly, but all the while crying aloud. He
inquired what the general impression was
outside, and appeared quite anxious about
his wife and child, and what would become
of them. He said he had not touched q
morsel of food since ten O'Clock Sunday
night, and bis head ached as if it would
split open. He appeared to be suffering
the most intense agony, both bodily and
mentally, and said he did not know what
in the world possessed him when he COM
mitted the murder.
His condition was such as to call for the
attendance of physician, but there are
none who can minister In q mind diseased
or pluck from the memory rooted sor-
row, and it is difficult to tell what may be
the result of such a complete abandon
ment to grief.
The case OF Green will probably be
brought before the grand jury to-day, and
of course there will be no difficulty in
finding an Indictment against him. The
trial must be had before the Supreme
Court during the latter part Of Spring.
