Intelligence, contends that Mr. Sumner, in violation of his own principles, proposes to establish by law a distinction in color, and very logically proves it. Thus, Mr. Sumner, in his bill for abolishing distinctions in color, declares that the jury who are to try the cases of violation of the law shall be half white and half colored. "That is," says the Intelligencer, "to deny the distinction of color, we shall affirm the distinction of color; that the law may ignore the difference, the law shall recognize the difference; that color shall cease to be known in court, color shall enter into the very constitution of the court."
