The Boston Courier was an American newspaper based in Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded on March 2, 1824, by Joseph T. Buckingham^[1] as a daily newspaper which supported protectionism.^[1] Buckingham served as editor until he sold out completely in 1848,^[1] after suffering a severe financial crisis in 1837 and losing much of his editorial authority.^[2] The Boston Courier supported the National Republicans, and later the Whig Party.^[3] In the period before the American Civil War, its editors, including George S. Hillard and George Lunt,^[4] supported the states' right position on the abolition of slavery. From 1867 to 1915 the Boston Courier (New Series) was a weekly newspaper published by Libbey & Dennison.^[5]
