The Daily Argus, also known as the Republican Argus, was a newspaper in Baltimore Maryland.[3](published for an African American audience.)[citation needed] It had a lot of variations on its name.[4]

Baltimore’s mayor and city council advertised footways in the paper.[5]

Several libraries have editions of the paper and the Library of Congress has entries (somewhat conflicting) on it. R. M. Cloud & Co. are listed as its publishers.[6][7][8][9] In 1847 C.F. & R.M. Cloud were listed as publishers.[10] Cloud also published the Spirit of Democracy.[11] In the late 1820s C. F. Cloud had launched the Baltimore Sunday Visitor with Lambert A. Wilmer.[12]

Charles Newsome Otey, who had earlier edited the People’s Advocate, was an editor of the paper.
