The ''Glasgow Argus'' was a Scottish newspaper, published biweekly from 1833 to 1847. It took a reforming editorial line, supporting abolitionism and opposing the Corn Laws. The ''Argus'' was perceived as the paper of the supporters of the Glasgow merchant and politician James Oswald. The first editor, William Weir, not only made the ''Argus'' the recognised organ of the "clique", as Oswald's Whig and Liberal supporters were known, but pursued a radical editorial line of his own.〔Kenneth J. Cameron, ''William Weir and the Origins of the 'Manchester League' in Scotland, 1833-39'', The Scottish Historical Review Vol. 58, No. 165, Part 1 (Apr., 1979), pp. 70-91.

At the time of the United Kingdom general election, 1847, Charles Mackay disagreed with the paper's management on the choice of local Liberal candidate, and left the position of editor. ==Editors== *1833–1839 William Weir〔 *1839–1840 Thornton Leigh Hunt *1844–1847 Charles Mackay *1847 William Lang 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glasgow Argus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
