   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

McCord, David James (1797–1855)

US newspaper editor and politician. A lawyer turned editor of the Columbia Telescope (from 1823), he turned this newspaper into an extremely zealous advocate of nullification. He, in turn, became an influential state leader who was elected to the US House of Representatives (1833–37). Elected president of the Columbia branch of the Bank of the State (1837–41), he lost his position after supporting the Whig Party. McCord was born in St Matthew's Parish, South Carolina. Hot-tempered and impulsive as well as frank and cheerful, he was a trustee of South Carolina College and a new state mental hospital. He wrote numerous articles.
