LOCAL AFFAIRS

DIDN'T PAN.-The meeting to take
steps looking to the proper celebration of
the Fourth of July, called for last Satur-
day night, didn't pan out to any great
extent. We suppose our citizens are not
"upon it," and those who wish to cele-
brate will be compelled to betake them
selves to some other point to spend their
money and time. Portland, we suppose,
will throw open her doors on the occa-
sion, and probably Salem, and will be
benefited many hundred dollars thereby.

NEW SPANISH KING.

The news comes from Spain that the
Duke of Aosta has been proclaimed
King of Spain in accordance with the
vote of the Cortes. Several of the depu-
ties who had at first voted against the
Duke changed their votes to the aHirma-
tive, which gave him the requisite ma
iority of that body. He is the son Of
King Victor Emanuel, is Sandman
and has Cor some time been thought OF
in reference to the position, and, so far
as heard from, no particular objection
was raised to his putting on the regal
robes and crown Of the ex-Queen lsa-
bella. We hope IT may bring peace to
old Spain; but the disposition Of these
peopIe is such as to exclude any other
than a bare hope Of future quiet
Uneasy is the head that wears the crown,
and we presume it viii not sit more
lightly ON the brow Of the young Duke
than ON those Of his predecessors, who
have attempted to govern without con
sulting the great interests Of the people
for whom government IS instituted. His
royal coesh cannot be said to be one Of
roses, and he may yet prove to be mar
