From Wikipedia: American Citizen was an influential newspaper in New York City in the early 19th century. The newspaper opposed Aaron Burr's 1804 candidacy for governor of New York.The paper started in 1800 as the American citizen and general daily advertiser, though it was effectively a continuation of Greenleaf's New Daily Advertiser (1796–1800) and The Argus, or, Greenleaf's New Daily Adverstiser (1795–96)The title was shortened to American Citizen in 1802. James Cheetham was the leading editor of the paper, first becoming involved in 1801, and becoming appointed publisher by April 1803. Cheetham was frequently sued for libel, although many of the suits ended in mistrial, dismissal, or deadlock.The paper ceased publication a few months after Cheetham's death. (in 1810) James Cheetham Bio: Journalist and author, born in Manchester, England, in 1772; died in New York City, 10 September, 1810. He was an English radical, a trenchant writer, with a talent for invective, who, escaping from the Manchester riots, came to New York in 1798, and became editor of the " American Citizen." In 1803 he published "Nine Letters on Burr's Defection"; in 1804 a volume entitled "Reply to Aristides"; in 1809 a "Life of Thomas Paine," reprinted in England in 1817. He was originally a friend of Paine's, but became embittered against him, and in writing the last-named work was inspired by enmity. A corrected copy, with revisions in the author's hand-writing, is preserved by the New York historical society.Condition: See box above.
