THEgrand principle of Equality, if

. on which univerlai juft'ce, fatted order,
and perfcdl freedom, can be firmly built,
and permanently fccmec!. The vew of
it exhibited in this eliay, at the lame time

j the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of
oppression ; confittj.a, in the most forcible

_ and the just demands of law ful authority.
So far indeed, from loosening the bands
of society, that it maintains inviolate* e
very natural and every civil diftin&ion,
draws more closely every facial tie, unites
in one harmonious and justly proportioned

The denomination is of TWENTY
DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is
the letter B.
They «\ay be distinguished frcm the ge
nil me by the following IYIAKKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a
more tend r texture and gloiley Airfare
than the genuine, and there is no water
nmrk in them.
The letter C. in the word Cafliier, in
he true bills is ftrorgly n a; keel, v here as
j in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a
fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished
s State. Tlie letter a in the void demand*
s is badly formed and the whoie word iil done
and there is no comma at the end of it, as
there is in the genuine Mils.
The marginal device, is much daiker
r in the falfe, than in the genuine bills ow
ing to tho (hade strokes being, coarlei, nuuh
nearer together, and confeqnerit'y much
more nnumerous. This difference ft 'he
-eye atflrft view.
The fame reward of ONE THOt SAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for appi ehending,
prosecuting to conviction the several
above described Offenders in iefpe& to tbisj
4s to the la ft defcribeti bills.
