  §19. Samuel Bowles—"The Springfield Republican". XXI. Newspapers, 1775–1860. Vol. 16. Early National ...
The highest development in provincial journalism during this period is typified in the Springfield Republican.
Bowles believed that the newspaper should be a power in the moral, religious, and literary, as well as the political life of the community, and he tried to make his paper fulfill those functions, not for the world at large but for the people of western Massachusetts.
But in spite of the extent of its influence, the Republican held steadily to its purpose as a provincial newspaper; it told all the news, gave all sides a fair hearing, preserved its self-respect and independence, frowned on all “isms,” and presented invariably the personal opinions of its editor, whom all its readers knew.

The original "Republican" Party was led by Thomas Jefferson and is generally considered the forerunner of the present-day Democratic Party.
By 1824, the Federalist Party had vanished and Jefferson's Republican Party had split into a number of factions, so that there were four candidates for President that year, one of which was called the "National Republicans," which supported John Quincy Adams.
