Stabell joined Morgenbladet a year later, in 1831, the newspaper's owner, Rasmus Hviid. Stabell worked as an editor, with several exchanges, mostly anonymously, as a representative of the newspaper. Under Stabell was the newspaper within a few years more modern compared to the balance between news, commentary, debate and ads. Morgenbladet also took a clear political position of the liberal opposition, which led to the newspaper The Constitutionelle was created as a more government-friendly competitor. The two newspapers frequently disagreed, especially concerning the poets Henrik Wergeland and Johan Sebastian Welhaven, albeit the views of the two varied in the papers. Stabell's role as newspaper editor was concerned with creating an independent newspaper with clear political opinions and news. Stabell got Ludvig Kristensen Daa into newspaper employee in 1841. In the same year Morgenbladet, which had benefited from Wergeland's contribution in the newspaper, had a major dispute with him, partly because of disagreements between Wergeland and Daa. It meant that the newspaper initially refused Wergeland column space, then accused him of being unsuitable as a bishop because he was "opirret og i slet Lune" and claimed also that Wergeland, having written the poem "Mig Selv", withdrew co-operation for three years. With Daa in the newspaper Wergeland also became less directly active as a journalist.
Politics
Stabell was mayor of Aker in 1839 to 1843 and from 1847 to 1859. The table also made it into parliament in 1845. Table tried to put forward a proposal calling for a new system to replace the ministers, and demands that ministers should participate in Parliament, and thus accountable. This was considered very radical and was later withdrawn. In spite of that chart was relatively radical, he chose the Thrane movement a more government-friendly line. Stabell had been Odelsting president from 1848 to 1857, and in 1858 he became vice-president of the Parliament, but when Stabells house remained in Christiania for urban expansion, were Stabells constituency overwhelmingly governmentally. Thus disappeared chart of Parliament.
Banking
Since he also resigned from the editorial work in Morgenbladet in 1857, he became more active in the banking system. That same year he formed The Norwegian Credit Bank, which was the first private national commercial bank in Norway. He was head of the bank from 1858. Unfortunately for table held The Norwegian Credit Bank to be destroyed already in the beginning as a result of excessive lending policies. This sapped his health, and he died in 1865. Stabell married 2 September 1829 with Caroline Birgitte Knudtzon. He remarried on 7 March with Theodora Adolphine Egidius. Adolf Bredo Stabell was appointed Knight of St. Olav in 1858.
