EDENTON, September Il.

THIS, Friday, is the second ami
versary Of the FISHERMAN AND
FAKMER's existence. Since she first
made her appearance, change has
wrought Improvement in its size and
matter, if not, in the patronage
which from the first. was large
beyond expectation. We began its
publication under circumstances IN
promising. Opposition was met on
every hand. Our first Office was
we'll nigh out doors and the prophe
sizes of friends as well as predictions
Of enemies preponderated against US.
By dint of effort and great personal
sacrifice we have risen superior to
ali that has opposed US and we stand
today as among the fixtures in the
business history Of modern Edenton.
On this the recurrence Of our birth
day we find ourselves inspired with
thanks by reflection and we tender
our acknowledgements to a generous
public without reserve. Our success
is greatly due to the support Of our
friends and we trust their faithful
continuance in patronage, &c, will
enable US to make still greater strides
towards wanted peri ction-

CYCLONE.
IT SWEEPS AWAY HOUSES,
CROPS, FENCES, ETC.
SEVERAL woUNDED-NONE KJLLED-sEy-
ERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS DAMAGE.

The News of a terrible cyclone, in
Gates, Camden and other counties
reached here Tuesday. From all
reports we learn that the cyclone
originated at South Quey on Monday,
where it destroyed property and crops,
and swept trees as it went. The
path of the cyclone was about rs
wards wide. 1t was next seen at Will
low Branch. There were several
strata Of clouds, which seemed to be
no higher than the tree tops. They
came on with "A terrific roar, like that
of distant thunder or train passing
over tressel. 1t tore away houses,
fences, carried away large trees, tore
up crops and damaged things gener-
ally. 1t struck the farm Of Mr. w. II.
Brown, our tOwnSman, and destroyed
almost everything except the dwelling,
and would have carried it away had
it been exactly in its pathway. No
lives were lost and none crippled.
Leaving this place, the cyclone then
continued in a straight course, through
the country, tearing up everything in
it's way Trees were torn up by the
roots, crops completely destroyed, and
nothing but sad waste and scattered
debris remains.
After sweeping through beautiful
country, destroying things as it went,
it struck near South Mills, where it
destroyed 10 dwellings, a large num-
Der of out-houses, fences, trees, crops,
&C., also gripping several persons.
None were killed.
The damage done by this cyclone,
it is said, will amount to several thou
sand dollars.

Tuesday, at u o'clock, the long
expected convention of colOred people
to nominate Republican County
Ticket assembled at the Court House
in Edenton. We were there and
looked eagerly over the body to sex
if we could find any variation in the
predominant color Of the assembly.
There was none save that produced by
the presence of one white man who
looked as lonely, as thoroughly isolated
and out Of place as it is possible ever
to conceive man. Never did a more
thoroughly black assembly meet in
Chowan county for. any purpose.
White Republicans were completely
ignored. A white man was put III
nomination for Chairman of the con-
vention but he was defeated, almost
as quick as you could declare it, by
Hardness Gussom. The townships
were all represented by colored men
save in the one instance just referred
to.
The Committee on nominations,
being duly appointed, all colored men,
retired and remained retired till s
o'clock p. m. During the absence OF
committee several speeches were made
all the same way, NEGRO VS. White
man" That the issue, made so III
this County Convention by the Repub-
Leans themselves. HE that is not
entirely with us is against u.s.
When the committee returned the
widest excitement ensued. Mr.. JOS
II. Perry was nominated for Sheriff;
K. r. Pendleton, Esq, for Treasurer;
J. B. Outlaw, for Register Of Deeds;
W. W. Blair, for the Legislature; j.
2. Hettrick, for Coroner
A difficulty occurred between r.
VI. Lee and Hardness Gussom which
came near ending seriously. The
Rev. r. NJ forgot his calling and
INDUCED III course Words to a lively
extent. GussOm had the ear and
sympathy of the great bulk of the peo-
pie and could have had Lee murdered
at word but would not abuse his
powers. In the midst of the wrangle
a pistol was reported dra WI. At any
rate Lee, considering it safe, beat a
timely retreat till later hour when
the eyes Of his enemy were turned in
another direction.
Mr.. Perry accepted the nomination
his next friend Hardness
Gussom and by personal declaration.
He is a Republican and has promised
to vote the whole Republican ticket,
State and National. This, of course,
defeats the purpose of any honest,
straight out Democrat to
vote for him. Whether personal pref
erences might have existed in his
favor before the convention he has
all by changing the COM
Dlexion Of his political skin.
Let every Democrat in the county
ally for his certain defeat.

Mr.. CLEVELAND'S letter of acCep-
lance is a model of wisdom, pluck
and soundness, in strict keeping with
the full character of the man and in
conformity to Democratic truth and
principle. 1t is exhaustive not only
as to tariff reform but its effects and
consequences to already burdened
people. He refutes successfully the
charge that Democracy means FREE
TRADE and suggests a safe remedy
for relieving the Treasury Of tue
heavy surplus to wit BY reducing
the scale of Federal taxation to meet
only ''public necessities" "unneces-
sary taxation being unjust taxation"
AS to his position on labor we
need make but one extract from the
letter and that, the following:
Il am constrained to express the
opinion that while the interests OF
labor should be always sedulously
regarded in any modification Of our
tariff laws, an additional and more
direct and efficient protection to
these interests would be afforded by
the restriction and prohibition of the
Immigration or importation OF labor
ers from other countries. who swarm
upon our shores, having no purpose
or intent Of becming our fellow
citizens or acquiring any permanent
Interest in orr country, but who crowd
every field of employment with unIn-
teligent labor at wages which ought
not to satisfy those who make claim
to American citizenship"
Quoting further, from the letter, he
saws: Our people ask relief from
the undue and unnecessary burden
of tariff taxation now resting upon
them. They are offered instead
FREE TOBACCO AND FREE WHIsKEY.
They ask for bread and they are
Owen a stone" The Democratic
Dartv means nothing more nor less,
in all its professions and declarations,
than actual relief to the people. He
closes his able letter with this con-
fding sentence:
.With firm faith in the intelligence
ard patriotism Of our countrymen,
and relying upon the conviction that
Misrepresentation will not influence
them, prejudice will not cloud their
understanding, and that menace will
not intimidate them, let US urge the
PEOPLES interests and public duty
for the vindication of our attempt to
INACCURATE righteous and beneficent
reform. GROVER CLEVELAND.
Let every Democratic voter read
the message in full. We regret our
space forbids It's full and complete
insertion in our columns. We re- !
gard it as sufficient in itself and
from all other of his former
acts to win for him the confidence
and support of the entire country.
