| Description | The Whig Republican, published in Lexington, Mississippi, during the fall of 1840, was a short-lived newspaper with a clear partisan stance in support of the Whig Party. Its editor and proprietor, Amos B. Corwine, declared its dedication to promoting Whig presidential candidates William Henry Harrison and John Tyler. While the paper purported to cover a range of topics including agriculture, science, the arts, commerce, and politics, its primary focus was on the 1840 presidential election. It featured editorials, both original and reprinted, praising Harrison and criticizing his Democratic opponent Martin Van Buren. Despite its brief existence, the Whig Republican aimed to sway public opinion in favor of the Whig Party's candidates. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1840 of this newspaper. |
