Charleston courier

Established in 1803, the Charleston Courier began as a Federalist newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina. In June 1844, the paper reprinted an 1842 letter to the editor of another Charleston paper, the Charleston Mercury, from Texas-supporter and former South Carolina Governor James Hamilton. The letter responded to the paper's coverage of a speech by Hamilton on the prospects of the Republic of Texas in a second conflict with Mexico. Several days later, the Courier also published a response to its reprinting from an anonymous "friend of General Hamilton" who signed the letter "Americanus."
