Another contemporary of the _North Star_ was _The Herald of Freedom_, published in 1855, in Ohio, by Peter H. Clark. It was short-lived but during its existence it was one of the best advocates of Abolition. Its editor was a man of good common sense and vast knowledge. After the suspension of his paper, Clark was associated with Douglass on the _North Star_. [Sidenote: THE ANGLO-AFRICAN] Thomas Hamilton, the publisher of the short-lived _People’s Press_, again attempted a publication in New York City. On July 23, 1859, he began publishing _The Anglo-African_. The paper was well printed and in the opinion of Frederick Douglass “had more promise and more journalistic ability about it, than any of the other papers.” The motto of the papers of the period was highly indicative of their editorial outlook and policy. Practically every paper had its motto, and _The Anglo-African_ was no exception. Its motto was: “Man must be free; if not through law, then above the law.” [Sidenote: ADVOCATES HAYTIAN EMIGRATION] In 1860, the paper was bought by James Redpath—the object of his purchase being to advocate the Haytian Emigration Movement. With the change in ownership the paper was known as _The Weekly Anglo-African_. Later, in 1861, the paper reverted to the Hamilton family, being published by Robert Hamilton. The original name of the paper was resumed, and under its new publisher became an ardent supporter of the Republican party. With the freeing of the slaves, _The Anglo-African_ began to advocate the need of educational facilities for the freedman, especially in the South. The paper was suspended shortly after Emancipation. [Sidenote: COLORED CITIZEN ORGAN OF NEGRO SOLDIERS DURING WAR] During the period of the Civil War only two Negro newspapers were established, one of which was _The Colored Citizen_, published at Cincinnati, Ohio, by John P. Sampson. It was issued in the interest of the Negro soldiers fighting in the war. It was commonly referred to as the “Soldiers’ Organ,” and was widely disseminated among the soldiers. Sampson was well educated—being a product of the Boston public school system—and as an editor he was both able and enterprising. _The Colored Citizen_ was suspended the latter part of 1865. [Sidenote: THE PACIFIC APPEAL] In 1862, _The Pacific Appeal_ came into being in San Francisco, but it was not a new publication, however, it was merely the successor to _The Mirror of the Times_. Its editor was William H. Carter. It became the index of the activities of the Negroes on the Pacific coast. The paper’s motto was: “He who would be free, himself must strike the blow.” It was a six column folio, well-printed, and contained editorials which on the whole were sober and sound.
