Stephen Cullen Carpenter
Edit Profile
also known as
Donald Campbell
Career
Carpenter is reputed to have been a Parliamentary reporter for the trial of Warren Hastings. This tradition is lent color by the fact that in 1804 he reported a murder trial in Charleston (Report of the Trial of Richard Dennis for the Murder of James Shaw on August 20, 1804, by S. C. Carpenter, 1805) and by the further fact as evidenced by his editorial writing that he had an intimate knowledge of contemporary English politics. He came to Charleston not later than 1802. In 1803 he established there in partnership with Loring Andrews the Charleston Courier, which was strongly federalist in tone. He undertook in addition to this the editing of a literary and historical review, the Monthly Register, Magazine and Review of the United States. He had brought out only a few numbers of this magazine, before he removed with it to New York in 1806. There with the assistance of Elias Hicks he took over the Daily Advertiser which he issued from Sept. 1, 1806 to August 3, 1807 as the People's Friend. He contributed articles and editorials intended to prove that in the United States of his day "the Forms of a free and the Ends of an Arbitrary Government are not incompatible. " He was almost exclusively concerned with national politics, and grew more and more bitter in his opposition to the French, and more determined to save the country "from the colossal power and dark intrigues of Bonaparte. " This national partisanship probably cost him his editorship, and in August 1807 the paper was taken over by its former proprietor, Samuel Bayard (Daily Advertiser, August 4, 1807). Carpenter then moved to Philadelphia and published there a magazine devoted to the drama under the title, the Mirror of Taste and Dramatic Censor. Four volumes appeared in a year and then the magazine disappeared. In 1809 he published a prejudiced life of Jefferson which was embedded in a violently anti-French history of the United States, Memoirs of Jefferson, Containing a Concise History of the United States, from the Acknowledgement of their Independence, with a View of the Rise and Progress of French Influence and French Principles in That Country.
He is thought to have moved about 1812 to Washington, D. C. as a result of government employment.
In 1815 he brought out Select American Speeches, Forensic and Parliamentary, with Prefatory Remarks; a Sequel to Dr. Chapman's Select Speeches.
Carpenter died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 24, 1830. His obituary was carried in several Southern newspapers, stating that he was 78 years of age at his death resulting from the effects of paralysis suffered for six years.
