To the Editor of the Lambertvine Press.
My attention was called to-day to
an article in your paper by Philos, of
Milford, in which he asserts that [
permitted T. q. Field, while in my
custody, to have his dentist tools. I
do not know from whom Philos receiv-
ed his information, but I assert and
am prepared to show by undoubted
testimony, that the statement is entire
ly without foundation. Field was de-
livered into my custody on Sunday
night, he had his dentist tools in his
carpet bag, took all his tools ont and
put them under lock and key in my
own room. where they have been ever
since. Field has never since that
time had access to them. | treated
Field as did all other prisoners, and
he enjoyed no liberty which human.
ity and decency did not require, and
! trust it will require something more
than the unfounded assertions and in
situations of Philos, to impress the
people OF my county with the belief
that Fields escape, was due to any
Intentional fault of mine. In fixing
the amount of the reward which | off
cred for his arrest, was governed by
the advice of come of the best and most
prominent citizens Of this place, in
whose Judgment have confidence. If
Philos had been as anxious to serve
the public interest by the arrest of the
fugitive, as he is ready to utter insinu-
atoms against me, he would have Civ
en- me immediate information that the
letter he speaks of, had been received
at Milford. | have first heard of this
letter through the article of Philos, in
your paper.

Twenty years ago, at this time the cam
paign of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too +" was
in full blaze. Harrison had already been
nominated at the national convention in Har-
risburg, Pa, and on the 22d Of February
the Ohio wings assembled at Columbus full
thirty thousand strong to ratify the nomina-
tion, and start Tom Corwin for Governor.
That great meeting has never been E.
qualed in the west for its numbers and en-
thusiasm; and even now the recurrence Of
the anniversary calls up with the surviving
witnesses the most pleasing recollections.--

CWILIrY is FoRTUSE.-Civlity is a
fortune itself, for courteous man always
succeeds well in life. and that even when
persons of ability sometimes fail. The IA
nous Duke of Marlborough is a case in
point. 1t was said of him by one cotempo-
rary, that his agreeable manner often con-
vcrted an enemy into a friend; and, by
another, that it was more pleasing to be
denied favor by his Grace, than TO receive
one from other men. The gracious manner
of Charles James Fox preserved him from
personal dislike, even at time when he
was politically the most unpopular man in
kingdom. The history of the country is full
of such examples of success obtained by
civility. The experience Of every man fur
nishes, it We but recall the past, frequent
instances where conciliatory manners have
made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers,
divines, politicians, merchants, and, inleed,
individuals of all pursuits. On being intro
duced TO stranger, his aifabiIity, or the re-
verse creates instantancously prejudice
against him. To men, civility is, in fact,
what beauty is to woman; it is general
passport to favor, letter Of recommenla-
ton written in language that every stranger
understands. The hest Of men have often
injured themselves by irritability and conse-
quent radeness, as the greatest scouudrels
have frequently succeed by their plausible
manners. OF two men, equal in other re-
spects, the courteous one has twice the
chance for fortune.
