Description:
On August 11, 1860, J. M. Cooper of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, published the first issue of the Pennsylvania Statesman, a newspaper dedicated to furthering the presidential candidacy of John C. Breckinridge, the dominant candidate in the South and among Northerners who also demanded federal protection of slavery. The Pennsylvania-based campaign newspaper supported the Southern Democrat, Breckinridge, because he was the current vice president under President James Buchanan of Pennsylvania. The journal ran weekly through November 3, the eve of the national election. Initially, it expended considerable space detailing the political positions that Breckinridge took on the issues of the day, particularly the controversial question of slavery in the Western territories, which had split the Democratic Party earlier that year. In fact, the views of the various parties and factions on slavery were of paramount importance to the Statesman throughout its short lifespan. While the Pennsylvania Statesman made relatively little effort to attack Abraham Lincoln personally, the Republican Party was described pointedly as having gathered under their black flag, an assortment of Abolitionists, Free Soilers, Factionists, and enemies of the Union and the Constitution. In contrast, each edition of the Breckinridge organ carried a bold-faced declaration affirming its allegiance to The Constitution and the Union. In October, the journal marked the first anniversary of John Browns failed attempt to foment a slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, by painting the Republicans as revolutionary abolitionists. A large image of a knife dramatically emphasized that point in several issues. The journal also accused Republicans of encouraging racial equality. A particular focus of the papers venom was directed toward John W. Forney, a newspaper editor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who had earlier backed Senator Stephen Douglas in his dispute with President Buchanan, but campaigned for Lincoln and the Republicans in the 1860 contest.
