The Public are cautioned to
' beware of counterfeited Fine Dollar Bills of
the Bank of the United States, and Twenty
" Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
f Jeveral of which have appeared in circulation
e within a few days pajl; they are a good ge
, neral imitation of the genuine Bills, Cut may
j be dylmguijhed by the following
MARKS.
\ Five Dollar Jiills of the Bank erf the
a United States.
f ALL that have appeared have the letter F.
c for their Alphabetical Mark.
1 The Texture of the Paper is thiElcer and
whiter and it takes the ink. more freely than
s the genuine paper,
, & The O. in the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a lineextended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con.
• fiderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the lettwrsare narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and yi<ithe word promise are not
parallel, the much more forward
than the i.
The engraving is badly executed,the lliokes
of alt the Letters are stronger and the devii e
in themargin particularly ismuch coarser and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some
ot the counterfeits hear dale in 1791 Where
as the Bank was not in operation till Decern
ber, and 110 five dollar bills were iifued in
lhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. lor their alphabetical mark.
They are printed On a paper nearly similar
to that of the couuterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving is bettei exe
ucted, and they approach nearer to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
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 Bills as defer ibed 2-
bove, the 0 being less than the I*, and others
following.
1 There is no 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 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 the_y go
ing below them.
The iignature J, Nixon, has the appear
ance of being written with lamb-black and
oil, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the cashier's lignature.
It is supposed these forgeries were commuted
in fomeof the Southern States, as all the coun
terfeits thai have appeared, have come from
thence, and two persons have been appiehcnd
ed in Virginia,on suspicion of being the author
of them.
Therewardof ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will he paid to any Person or Persons who lhall
discover and prosecute to conviction the feveial
offenders of the following descriptions or any
of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured
the paper on which the Bills aie primed.
The person or persons, who engraved the
plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
livery person who has acted as a principal in
any other way, in the counterfeiting and utter
ing the said bills.

T'HEgrand principle of Equality, if right
s ly underflood, is the only bafi's on which
universal justice, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The view of it exhibited in this
eJTay, at the fame time that it represses the
infoJeace of office, us - smJ
the outrages of oppression ; confirms, i'n the
mofl forcible manner, the necessity of fubor
di nation, and the just demands of 1
thorny. So far indeed, from loosening the 4
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil distinction,
dtaws.more closely every social tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
