The paper was originally produced from a hotel owned by the Cartan family.  Cartan was a staunch nationalist and pro- O’Connell supporter.  Cartan used the newspaper to endorse nationalist and tenant rights. Many of the editorial pieces produced were vitriolic and condemned by many.  In fact, Lord Clermont won a judgment against him which he could not pay. Subsequently ending up in Dundalk jail.
