The "Republican Star" was the second newspaper to make its debut on the Eastern Shore. It was first published in August of 1799 by Thomas Perrin Smith and continued with various subheadings until June 12, 1832. After the establishment of the Cambridge Chronicle in 1822, New Market was rarely mentioned in the Easton newspapers. The first known mention of New Market in a surviving issue of the "Republican Star" occurred in a 17 August 1802 issue.

Republic Star - 23 October 1804 - Sporting Intelligence -
Extracts from the books of the New Market Jockey Club, Dorchester
County, October 10, 1804. The following horses were entered to run
this day's purse:
Beggar Girl (by Flag of Truce, 5 years old) Joseph Ennalls
Canton (by Grey Diomed, aged) Dr. J.B. Sullivaine
Mount Vernon (by Lamplighter, 6 years old) Edward Lloyd, Esq.
Ranger (by Old Barb, 5 years old) Major Wilson(?)
Trimmer (by Old Tremmer, 6 years old) Richard Clayton.
Mount Vernon, the favorite. 1st Heat - Mount Vernon went off
closely pursued by the Beggar Girl, who evinced some disposition to make
running for the first two miles, but finding it inconvenient to continue
the pursuit, resigned to Trimmer the honor of putting him up.
Trimmer seeing the necessity of Mount Vernon's being called upon,
reserved his push for the last half mile of the fourth round, when he
gave play; and though he tailed in his attempt to take the lead, yet it
was with considerable credit he resigned the heat to his adversary.
The odds 2-1, Mount Vernon against the field.
2nd Heat - Mount Vernon went off in his usual style for the first round,
when Canton determined to try blood and bottom felt for him, put him up,
and without and indulgence either on bit or heel passed him; they then
ran under a strong pull until the commencement of the fourth mile, when
they all bolted off at scores, and ran at the top of their speed for
near half the round, after which they pulled up and ran more at their
ease til they came near the inlet, when Canton flew from the course, and
carried with him Trimmer. This gave Mount Vernon the advantage of
an hundred and fifty yards. Canton was again brought to the track,
and by the powerful excitements of steel and whale bone, made a head
run, passed the Beggar Girl, closed Mount Vernon between the distance
pole and home post, and whipt him out by half his length. This
brought the bets to even money, Canton against the field.
3rd Heat - The Beggar Girl gave the play, trailed by Canton, Mount
Vernon, and Trimmer, under a strong pull; they ran in this way for two
miles, when Trimmer with great resolution made his push, this put them
all up, and they ran handsomely packed until they came to the judges
stand, where Trimmer broke down, and Mount Vernon being hard run in the
two former, resigned the contest for this hear to the Beggar Girl.
Canton perceiving this made his run, obtained the lead, and kept it,
until they came near the inlet, he then pulled up and took the mare in
his quarters, to operate as king of guard, in case he should offer to
fly, they ran closed from thence to the home run, when he made a loose
and won the head amidst the general plaudits of a crowded course.

Republican Star - 24 March 1807 - Young Partizan -
Partizan was raised by James
Harrison, of Caroline County, state of Maryland, and is a jet black, 15
hands and three inches high, ten years old in May next - he was got by
the noted Old Partizan, raised by Richard Spriggs, Esq. of Annapolis,
Maryland, out of a mare got by Old Mosco, and raised by Capt. James Sulivane, of
New Market, and if I understand right, her dam by the mare was of the
breed of Golish. Young Partizan is of a sound and strong
constitution, which has never been impaired or injured in any respect -
his colts in general are said to be large and well mounted, and very
much resemble the Partizan, Mosco, and Golish breed, which probably may
be ranked among the first stock of horses on the eastern shore.
But it being too generally a custom among those who keep stud horses to
exaggerate in their praise, I shall omit saying any thing more in his
favor at present and wish to inform my friends, that as I have failed in
a crop of corn, my brother
Peter Foster has let me have him this season, gratis; and I purpose
covering him at the following prizes, viz. six dollars the spring's
chance, ten dollars to insure with foal, and three dollars the single
leap; five dollars will discharge the debt of those who put their mares
by the season, if paid in the season, or by the 20th of August next.
Strict attention will be paid to the horse and those stands hereafter to
be appointed. A trusty colored man will take the horse round, and
those who put their mares will enter, or have entered down (in my
absence) in a book I shall send round for that purpose, how they put
their mares. Leap money may be paid to the groom. One stand
is at the subscriber's own house where the horse will stand and may be
seen the 21st of March; on stand in Denton, March 17, and that day two
weeks throughout the season. One at Abraham Collins's,
beginning March 28, and that day two weeks, &c. One stand at P.
Edmondson's farm in Caroline County, beginning the 2d of April, and that
day two week &c. N.B. Those who put two mares shall have a
deduction of one dollar on each. Thomas Foster.

Republican Star - 5 April 1808 - To the Editor of the Star -
Sir, Last fall our public prints teemed with scurrilous abuse which was
leveled at out Militia by the agents of foreign governments, who aimed
to depricate the real merits of our soldiery, had they contrasted that
of Lexington and Breeds Hill, with this of the present day, amazement
and despondency would compel them to be silent on a subject which has
entailed ignominy and contempt on their party. I had the honor of
serving under the brave Doctor Warren, whose army was chiefly composed
of old men and boys, undisciplined, badly clothed and worse armed, yet
the flower of Great Britain (as they were termed) although more numerous
and every way well provided, after all their vaunting and parade, were
compelled to fly at the first place and were cut to pieces at the latter
by out little band of Patriots; not Mr. Editor, if we with such a band
could discomfit the finest army Britain could produce, what can we at
this day have to fear from the menaces of any power on earth, since it
is in our power to raise an army of brave and free men, whose elevated
souls can never stoop to slavery.
To satisfy curiosity and to be convinced concerning the conduct of our
troops at their muster, I visited a company at New Market, Dorchester
county, on Saturday the 10th inst. and was really captivated with their
performance and martial appearance; many evolutions were performed with
a precision that reflects honor on their performers, their want of
military music (in a great measure) injured their uniform motion, but
their step was masculine and majestic, and their every deportment was
calculated to strike the tyrants of Europe with dismay and terror; the
officers displayed a large stock of military tactics, and the soldiery
were silent, watchful of the word of command, and emulous in the
performance of their duty. I have seen British regular troops
wheel worse than this company, and wish they were better supplied with
arms and martial music, which last cheers the veteran and revives our
drooping spirits when overcome with hunger and fatigue.
I could not be silent on so interesting a subject, though incapable of
painting it in its proper colours and although pretty well advance in
years, my country shall never want my services while I can toss a
musket, or perform a days march, and while my mental faculties remain,
my utmost endeavours shall be to support our constitution, so with
prayers for the protection of all our staunch Patriots,
I am, sir, with respect, Your most humble servant, E.D.B. - New Market,
21st March 1808
Republican Star - 10 May 1808 - Notice is hereby given -

Easton Gazette and Eastern Shore Intelligencer - 9 September 1820 -
To the Voters -
of Dorchester County. Fellow Citizens. A report being in
circulation calculated to injure me in the estimation of the public, and
no doubt intended (by some who circulate it) to operate to my prejudice
on the minds of a class of the community that I have always respected.
And my professional and other engagement rendering it impossible for me
to meet you, in every part of the county, personally to refute the
change, I am compelled, in justice to myself, my friends, and the
public, to address you through the medium of public print.
The Following is the Report.
At a party given by Mr. G.L. Rawleigh, about the middle of July last,
Dr. William Jackson, (in a conversation with Mr. Rawleigh and others)
said that all Overseers, Hirelings, and Poor Laborers, were no better
than negroes, or that they were considered in this country no better
than negroes, or that they were considered in this country, or white
negroes, or something to this amount. To the charge contained in
this report I plead Not Guilty, and in proof of my innocence, offer the
following statement of facts.
The report originated with Samuel LeCompte, and the following is his
Statement.
I am charged with having said that Dr. William Jackson, observed at Mr.
G.L. Rawleigh's some time about the middle of July last, that all
Overseers, Hirelings, and Poor Laborers, were considered no better than
white negroes, or words to that amount. I do not deny having said
something of the kind, and I still think, that at the time and place
aforesaid, he did make use of that or some similar expression, but my
impression at the time was, and still is, that he (Dr. Jackson) did not
intend to convey the idea that he himself considered Overseers,
Hirelings, and Poor Laborers, as no better than negroes, but merely that
they were, by some people, so considered. I further state, that I
never mentioned the subject to any person with the intention of injuring
the reputation of Dr. Jackson, either public or private. Given
under my hand this 5th day of September 1820. Samuel LeCompte...
William Gist, John H. Eccleston, William Parrott, H.P. Waggaman, Charles
Pritchard... entirely concur with the above statement... Wm.
Jackson Jr., Vienna, Sept. 7, 1820.
Easton Gazette and Eastern Shore Intelligencer - 16 September 1820 -

The Samuel LeCompte mentioned in Dr. Jackson's address, published in the
last Gazette, is not Samuel LeCompte, Esq., formerly Surveyor of
Dorchester county, but Samuel LeCompte, son of James, who resides near
New Market.
