The National Philanthropist and Investigator, sometimes referred to by its later title Genius of Temperance, was a weekly anti-slavery newspaper. It began as separate papers; Investigator, and General Intelligencer was published in Providence, Rhode Island, from 1827-1829, and the National Philanthropist was published in Boston from 1826-1829. When the periodicals merged, the new publication took the name National Philanthropist and Investigator and was published from Boston with William Goodell as editor. Goodell was an abolitionist who had worked with William Lloyd Garrison to form the New York City Anti-Slavery Society and the American Anti-Slavery Society. Goodell, although not ordained, also organized his own church because the established churches were too complacent in the sin of slavery. He helped establish the anti-slavery Liberty Party in 1840, and he was good friends with former slave and orator Frederick Douglass, partnering with him in publication endeavors. Goodell's abolitionism greatly influenced the National Philanthropist and Investigator.
