M A ft S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Pap«r is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is finaller
than theM- and other Irtrers ot' that word,
l'o that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the tap of the M would extend con
siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow- I
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
• The i and fin the word promilat ace not 1
parallel, the yinclioing much more forward
tjhan the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the strokes
of all the Letters are ftr6fcgtr and the device
in the margin particularly ismuch coar(er and
f appears darker thai) in the true bills. Some
o| the counterfeits bear daie in l-gi—Where
as the Bank was nbt ill Operation till Decem
ber, and no five dollar bills were jflued in
tfaat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appealed have the letter

cuted, and thiy approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
• The fine ruled lines through the word Ttuen
-0) in the biidy of ;ihe bill, are 111 number thir
teen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The wnidTompany is much tilfce the fame
word in the Five Dollar B lis as described a
bove, the o being less than them, and others
following.
Thqre is 110 stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the
left hand at tbe bottom, do noi come down to
the line, but are so cut a£ to give an ii regular
appearance to the word, the Pa s:id they go
ilig below thein.
Tbe Signature J Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamp black and
oily and differs from the other inks nfed in
pr.nting the bills and the cafliier's lignature.
It is foppofed thelc lor get its were commuted
in fonie ot the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits that have appeared, have cone from
tnence, and two persons have been apprehend
ed .'ill Virginia, on Ijafpicion ot being tbe Authors
of 1 hem.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS

grand principle of Equality, if right
, Aly understood, is the only bafi's on which
univerfafjufUce, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly!Tecured. The view of It exhibited in this
eflay, at the fame time that it rrpreffes the
uifolence of office, the tyranny ofpride, and
tbe outrages of oppression ; confirms, i n (he
most forcible manner, the necessity of subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loosening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate
every natural and every civil diftinrtion,
* more closely every fo v ial tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportioned iyf
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of hutrtan na
tnre, of reciprocal _obli tt ation, and of a com
