There have been three newspapers of Marshall, Texas: the Texas Republican (1849-1872), and the Tri-Weekly Herald (1874), and currently the Marshall News Messenger (originally the Marshall Morning News), .
The Texas Republican and the Tri-Weekly Herald, both published by Robert W. Loughery, were credited with aiding the election of Marshall citizens, J.P. Henderson, Edward Clark, and Pendleton Murrah to the Governor's office and Louis T. Wigfall to the U.S. Senate.
In the Texas Republican Loughery defend slavery and plantation agriculture; and supported the secession of Texas and later the Confederacy. The election of local citizens and the fiery pro-confederate stance of the Texas Republican made it one of the most read papers in Texas and Marshall a major political center in Antebellum Texas.
