Columbian Centinel The Columbian Centinel (1790–1840) was a Boston, Massachusetts, newspaper established by Benjamin Russell. It continued its predecessor, the "Massachusetts Centinel and the Republican Journal", which Russell and partner William Warden had first issued on March 24, 1784. The paper was "the most influential and enterprising paper in Massachusetts after the Revolution." In the Federalist Era it was aligned with Federalist sentiment. Until c. 1800 its circulation was the largest in Boston, and its closest competitor was the anti-Federalist "Independent Chronicle" ("the compliments that were frequently exchanged by these journalistic adversaries were more forcible than polite").
