The State Agricultural Society,

The Southern Planter says that the committee
appointed by the President OF the State Agricultu-
raj Society, in conformity with resolution OF the
Society at its last meeting, to revise the present
Constitution and report such amendments as might
seem expedient, have had two laborious and pro-
tracted sessions, and will shortly have third to
complete their work. The editor bespeaks for it
In advance a calm consideration and regard to
the difficulties under which it has been framed
Whilst considering it himself rs detective, he an.
his intention to vote for it, it contains
ample provisions for its own amendment, and can,
therefore, safely be adopted Anything is better,
the Planter justly remarks, than the wild confusion
which the last meetings of the Society exhibited,
al which must always ensue when three thousand
gentlemen in mass meeting attempt to legslate or
to deliberate

The Danish Sound Due..

The people of the United States will rejoice to
hear that measures are in progress by our govern.
ment which will pat to rest all apprehensions of any
collision with Denmark, growing out of our refusal
to submit longer to the sound dues 1t would have
been q very ridiculous thing to go TO war with
Denmark on any subject. The Danes are an hon.
est, decent, friendly folk, who only come into col
hsion with us upon little matter OF tolls, which, as
everybody else pays without murmuring, (their
own traders included,) we might certainly submit
to without detriment to dignity. war with
the Danes, and upon such point would be very
unpopular war. If we must have fight, let it be
