website = The "Gazette of the United States" was an early American partisan newspaper first issued on April 15, 1789 as a biweekly publication friendly to the administration of George Washington, and to the policies and members of the emerging Federalist Party. "The Gazette" was originally published in New York by editor John Fenno, but followed the United States Government in 1790 to its new temporary seat and capital in Philadelphia, PA.
Throughout its history, "The Gazette" would function as a quasi-official Federalist publication. Contributors would write--often pseudonymously or anonymously--in support of various Federalist positions, politicians, or policies. Like many other publications of the day, the paper also hosted pieces containing personal attacks--in this case, largely on Federalist opponents. Among the paper's more famous and prolific pseudonymous contributors was Alexander Hamilton, who produced articles under many different noms de plume.
The "Gazette" played a notable role in the development of political parties and early partisanship. It also played a leading role in inspiring the creation of its rival paper, the National Gazette, which was founded at the urging of anti-Federalist leaders Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as a vehicle for their party's own political self-promotion and polemics.
