Massachusetts Centinel and the Republican Journal (1784–1840),Boston newspaper distinguished for its impartial news coverage and literary contributions. J.Q. Adams attacked Paine and other sympathizers with the French in three series of essays (1791–93), under the pseudonyms Publicola, Marcellus, and Columbus. The paper was also famous for its effective use of cartoons, of which the most popular was the Gerrymander drawing. In 1790 the name was changed to The Columbian Centinel, and in 1840 to Massachusetts Centinel and the Federalist Journal when the paper was merged with the Boston Daily Advertiser.
