A small archive of issues of the Butler Sentinel of Butler, Pennsylvania. Which was published from 1820 to 1830. These are issues from 1827 & 1828. The Butler Centinel (Sentinel) succeeded The Palladium in October, 1820. It espoused the Federalist part warmly, and in 1824 was intensely anti-Jacksonian. Moses and John Sullivan, the editors and owners, adopted as the motto of their journal the following phrase of Washington: -- "Watching with zealous anxiety for the preservation of your National Union, and discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned." The publishers adhered to this motto and made of their journal a fair newspaper for the time and place. A copy of the Centinel of November 18, 1820, Number 7 of Volume 1, shows a folio of four pages, each of four columns, and printed in old-time small pica. A lengthy advertisement by Francis R. Shunk Frederick W. Leopold and Louis Gall half the land committee of the German Society at Harrisburg appears in this issue. A caution against taking notes, by Joshua McElfish; an advertisement of Joseph MC Quistion, the boot and shoemaker; of James THOMPSON, the blacksmith, and of Henry Neyman, the hatter; together with calls for the settlement of accounts by David SCOTT, John McQuistion, Potts & Dougal and Ross Gately, the school-teacher, are all given. The news is generally foreign with a few selected articles. The Sullivans published the paper about four years. They were prominent factors in the pioneer development of Butler and are appropriately mentioned in another chapter. [ Butler Pennsylvania
