An Eflay on Slavery:
Deftgned to exhibit in a new point of view,
its effects op morals y indujiry, and the peace of
society. Some fa&s and calculations ire ottered
to prove the labor of Jrcemen to be much more
productive than that ot Jlavcs ; that countries are
rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own
labor ; and heirce the nceffary couclufton, that
slavery is impolitic as well as unjujl.

The Public are cautioned to
beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
fe-veral of which have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl; they arc a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be diftingui/hed by the following
MARKS.
*diot
ALL [that have appeared hay; the letter F.
tor their Alphabetical Mark.
The|Texture of the Paper is thiekcr and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. In ihe word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of th.it word,
so that a line extended from ihe top of the O,
to touch the top of the M would extend coo
liderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand ekifer together than the reft of the bill
The 1 and fin the word promile are not
parallel, the yinclining much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
of all the Letters are ft rouge r and the devii e
in the margin particularly isuiuch coaifcr and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
a bear date in l;9i—.Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern.-.
ber, and 110 five dollar bills were ifiued in
that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank as North
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly fimilac
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described; the engraviug is better exe
cuted, and they approach nearer to tne ap
pearance of the genuine hills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twen
ty, in the body of the bill, are in number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as defer ibed a.
bove, the 0 being left than them, and others
fallowing.
Their is no stroke to the tin the word North
whe eas in tile genuine bills the ltrokcis well
defined.
d—tf
The let!ers ent in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do not come down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the Tw and ihej> go
ing below them.
The Siguature J Nijcon, has the appear,
ante of bring written with larap-blaclc and
oil, and differs from the other inks used in
priming the biils and the calhier's lignature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed
in feme of the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the authors
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid to any Person or Perlons who shall
discover and prolecute to convi&ion the feveial
offenders of the following descriptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or pcrfons, who manufa&ured
the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal ifi
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the. said Wills.

The following article ij occajimedJiy an -Ad

KEEPER of the GUILLOTINE;
You have often taken occafiprt to re
mind us of the dignity of your appoint
ment, by the frequency of your publications
these however, having generally been littlf*
more than theavaricious dilplsv of. a catch
pennyJhetvman, would have pa dec] without
police ; but your late advertikinent,
not to creep out of fight without antmad
verilon. The additional ci.rioiity of 9
Guillotine which you have with equaljugj
rnerit and generality, procured for th« di
veitil'ement of the goot' people «f Nqw-
YOl k,calls; for compensation very different
from what yon ordinarily receive. Let ui
however look at this new ground of your
pretentions to public favor—let us fee
what you Cay for yourfelf. J Tom Thumb,
Elquire, prime virtuoso, and
general, having long delighted in exhibi
ting and deferring natural deformities,
deleterious plants, venomous animals, See.
npw offer to the view of my inquisitive
countrymen that exquisite piece of
u'irkmanftiip—that paragon or mechiap
ism—that machine of never dying csfe
brity—the; GUILLOTINE.
Think no more brave friends of air
guns, rattlesnakes, and scalping knives j
these hide their dimini(he4 heads, and are
scarce worthy of lying in the fame room
in the pretence of this admirable pootfi
vancc which yields Uj nothing of human
ingenuity but to its glorious prototype m
the Revolution Square qf pari:.
Do not imagine gaJlan t citizens, that I
mean to mqck your b"Pe?t on difaupoint

nifhingcontrivance, painted on baby-cards,
or cut out of pafte-bwd—Np, I fcom

tifully erected, compofej_pf folui Jharf

and ready to perform the for
which it was ORIGINALLY IN
TENDED. Bra VP ! Bravo 1 Bravo I

But to be serious—is itpofiible that the
intelligent, the kind hearted citizens of
can have arrived at fyclj a 4«?
grec of indifference, as to read with pati
ence, or view with composure, so sangui
nary an instrument, advertised tQQ in lan
guage so ofFenfive to common decency, fa
ihocking to hnmanity ? What 1 this bloo
dy weapon may It ufedand is how, ready to
commence its bloody career in these peace
ful regions ? Forbid it God of all mercy.
Shall our real, our unfeigned love of
liberty, unheedingly fecjHce us into an liaf
ty approbation of every measure and rvtry
means to which lefe favored nations have
resorted, than were necessary in this en
lightened country, for the eftahlifhrnent
of rational liberty ?
Shall we make familiar to our eyes ob
jects of horror, that w« may banish from
our heart*, those gentle emotions ; those
endearing affections ; those reverential
views of aoothef world, which give to
life it-s highest, its most delightful rcli.'h,
