- Die National Gazette war eine zweiwöchentlich erscheinende Zeitung in den frühen Jahren der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie erschien vom 31. Oktober 1791 bis zum 23. Oktober 1793 in Philadelphia. Herausgeber war der Dichter Philip Freneau. Die National Gazette wurde auf Betreiben der Meinungsführer der Anti-Föderalisten, vor allem James Madison und Thomas Jefferson, gegründet, um der Gazette of the United States, dem publizistischen Sprachrohr der Föderalistischen Partei um Alexander Hamilton, Paroli zu bieten. Da Jefferson bis 1793 das Amt des Außenministers in George Washingtons Kabinett bekleidete, ergab sich die paradoxe Situation, dass die National Gazette als Oppositionsblatt tatsächlich maßgeblich von einem führenden Regierungsmitglied getragen wurde. Der Umstand, dass Jefferson Freneau 1791 kurz vor Gründung des Blattes einen einträglichen Posten als Übersetzer im Außenministerium verschafft hatte, wurde von ihren föderalistischen Gegnern als Vetternwirtschaft kritisiert. Freneaus National Gazette profilierte sich in kurzer Zeit mit scharfen Angriffen auf Washingtons Führungsstil und insbesondere auf Hamiltons Finanzpolitik, die sie etwa 1792 als „numerous evils...pregnant with every mischief“ beschrieb. Eine Feier anlässlich George Washingtons 61. Geburtstag betitelte das Blatt als Vorbote monarchistischer Allüren. Im Oktober 1793 stellte das Blatt das Erscheinen ein. Als mögliche Gründe für das recht abrupte Ende werden Jeffersons bevorstehender Rücktritt aus dem Kabinett, aber auch eine sinkende Zahl von Abonnenten genannt. (de)
- The National Gazette was a Democratic-Republican partisan newspaper that was first published on October 31, 1791. It was edited and published semiweekly by poet and printer Philip Freneau until October 23, 1793. The National Gazette was founded at the urging of Democratic-Republican leaders James Madison and Thomas Jefferson in order to counter the influence of the rival Federalist newspaper, the Gazette of the United States. Like other papers of the era, the National Gazette centered on its fervent political content. The Gazette's political content was often written pseudonymously, and was directed against the Federalist Party. Many prominent Democratic-Republicans contributed articles, often pseudonymously, including Madison and Jefferson. The Gazette is unique among early American partisan newspapers for being substantially supported by a major player within a sitting administration (then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson) while simultaneously attacking that administration's own policies. Jefferson enticed Freneau to come to Philadelphia to edit the Gazette by hiring him as a translator at the United States Department of State for an annual salary of $250. Federalist writers, including Alexander Hamilton, attacked this as a conflict of interest. Hamilton and other Federalists also financially supported their own partisan newspaper, the Gazette of the United States, although their publication did not attack Washington and his policies, but praised them effusively. Freneau's Gazette spent much of its time criticizing the policies of the Washington administration. The paper described Alexander Hamilton's financial policies in 1792 as "numerous evils...pregnant with every mischief" and described George Washington's sixty-first birthday celebration as "a forerunner of other monarchical vices." The Gazette's strident polemics and screeds against the Washington administration led President Washington to despise the Gazette, and to refer to its editor pejoratively as "that Rascal Freneau." The National Gazette unofficially stopped publishing in October 1793, two years after its establishment, citing "a considerable quantity of new and elegant printing types from Europe" to be obtained, but it is believed that the outbreak of yellow fever in Philadelphia combined with dwindling subscriptions contributed to the paper's demise. Jefferson would later resign as Secretary of State, ending Freneau's main source of income aside from the paper. Another newspaper of the same name was being published in Philadelphia in 1830. (en)
