The Oregon Statesman was founded on March 28, 1851, by Asahel Bush, a Democrat, in response to the Whig-controlled Portland-based paper, The Oregonian.[4] Congressional delegate Samuel Thurston assisted Bush in starting the newspaper while Thurston was in Washington, D.C.[5] Printed using a hand press, the paper was originally based in Oregon City, but moved to Salem in June 1853 when the Oregon State Capitol was relocated to that city.[4][5] The paper was used as a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party and of the Salem Clique that ran the party in Salem.[5] Bush and editor Thomas J. Dryer of the Oregonian are known as for setting a standard of heavily partisan coverage among early Oregon newspapers
