Jotham Blanchard, the ancestor of a well-known family of Liberals in the Lower Provinces, established the first newspaper outside of Halifax, the Colonial Patriot, at Pictou, a flourishing town on the Straits of Northumberland, chiefly settled by the Scotch. In 1839, Mr. G. Fenety now 'Queen's Printer' at Fredericton established the Commercial News, at St.
