may put upon it, tits certain, that Con.

If. then, the forthcoming elections re-
snlt in tile defeat OF the Presidential
policy, it will be useless for the Chief
Magistrate and his advisers to perseverc
further in opposing whatlis manitestly
the will Of the majority Of. Americans.
CoUNrERFEfrs.-- Through the courte.
sv Of Lieut.. Hendricks, the Chief Of the
Detective Force, we have been enabled
to examine several dangerous connter.
feits which have been circulated in our
community lately These are Of different
denominations, principally $50, $40, 81,
81, and so cent bills. In order to guard
our readers and the public. we have ob.
tained ali accurate description of these
bills, and their diffeaence from tie genu.
inc. The $50's are. on thig sleezy pa.
per. the figuring is very ind'stinc,, the
head in the centre is very much blurred,
and the general appearance Of the bill
different from tho genuine. The figure
80 in the left hand corner, and the sha-
ding surrounding it, is very rough and
uneven. The $l0s are printed on thick
heavy paperand are well calculated to
deceive the unwary.
The vignette i very dark, and the
figuring in,iistinet. The key in Frank.
Inns hand, in the left hand, corner, is
scatcely perceptihle, ;whilegrit is quite
plain in The genuine; and on the other
cori.er the lightning In the females hand
ia bold and distinct, and in the gennine
quite lhelrevetses4 The grouping Of the
fignresion the back is blncls and ob,cur.

though, is The numbers; these are all
the same; apd II issselr,kno~r. .ha, no
two bills have the came number. the
distinction in easily made. The conn.
terfeits afe all numbered S0,336 in the
upper margin, and 34l4 in the low
er. tH
The $l's and a2's are thick white
and greasy paper, and are very coarse
imitstion--so much sd that hardly any
description need be given, the difference
being so pefcepttbla. These bills are
all Photographic, and are got up by ex
perts, the signatures and general points
being exact Oar community have been
flooded witlfthese new issues lately, and
there is no doubt but THAI an organized
band exists in onr midst, whose business
it is to palm of these. worthless imita.
tons in place Of the genuine.
The so centbills are we'll counter
feited,s put are, of a pattern that have
been withdrawn. They are smaller
than those in general use. and have a
gilt circle on the face of the bill. md the

They are not so dangerous. as mott peo.
pie know that that issue has been con.
sidered Illegal. N# -''' .''@

But it is said, whether tho South ac-
