Hanover.

In this county, q few days since nominations
were made for the Convention. The nominees
We're Col. GEO. w RICHARDSON, (upder the
issues Of other times, Hhfg,) and Capt. WIN.
NELSON. (who was under those issues Demo-
crGt) They are both devoted to Virginia and
in favor of the much talked of guarantees but
the Colonel is more thorough and prompt in
his ideas of the policy for the times than the
Captain, rs generally understood. The Cap
tain is for s'exhausting our remedies in the
Union,' and the Colonel, while willing to try
remedies, is unwilling to ''eXhanst ourselves
in the trial. On the con trary he is for arnliag
while we debate.
In these nominations party feeling is in a
great measure oversldughed This is right
We consider any attempt 10 revive party feel
ing that existed under old issues and was
aroused by the leaders of other days, as calcu
lated to do MS infinite injury, and contribute
more than anything else to the embarrassment
of the measures demanded by the eyigency of
the times. All should forget the past and act
only with reference 10 the present No man
is patriot who cannot look with an eye sim
gle to the interests, the rights, and the honor
OF the State; and the public man who can, a
time like the present, go to mousing over his
own miserable personal ambition and selfish
interest, and attempt to divide and confuse
public sentiment by opening afresh old party
feuds, is traitor to his country.

Be LIFE ASSURANCES IN NORTHERN OFFICES.
The President of the New York Life Insurance
Company-Mr. MORRIS FKASKLIx-disclaim
in his letter to Mr. WoKrHAA, the highly re-
spectacle agent in this city, any intention
whatever on the part Of that company to dis
criminate between Southern and Northern
policies i'll the contingencies of the dissolution
of the Confederaey. See advertisement.
The disclaimer is unequiyocal and thorough
Now, let us ask, upon what authority did the
New York Commercial Adrertiser declare that
4 number of officers of leading Insurance Com
panies of New York had, upon consultation,
come to certain conclusions affec ting the rights
of holders of life policies in the South, TO the
extent that the first gun in a civil war be-
tween the Federal Government and the Sou tn
ern States would wipe out and annihilate
1900 900 OF capital in those States--that sum
being the estimated amount of the policies held
by Southern people in Northern offices ? Up
Oh what authority did this Black Republican
paper make this announcement The New
York offices ought to demand of that paper, as
the best mode OF purging themselves, that it
should speak out and name those for whom il
spoke. 1t should not be allowed without au-
tbority, TO make those companies parties to
I'm act Of fraud against their Southern policy
holders. If it has been guilty of the infamous
trick OF using those companies thus unauthor-
lied, to further the Black Republican plan of
appealing TO the fears and the cupidity of the
South, To repress resistance to their usurpa-
ions, Its editors should be branded with false

Will England Recognize the Southern Con-
fpSfracy.

The Northern sources and media Of informa
ton exert 4 decided influence over the tenor of
the news of the day, and that news is made
constantly TO take the Il: 20 of Northern pre-
judice and TO favor BlaC Republican schemes.
In this order, 1t has been several times an
nounced that Great Britain had intimated that
she would not recognize Confederacy of the
Southern States. The statement was evil
IDENTIFY false. That powerful and sagncious
Government would not have answered before
the proper time, and she certainly never would
have given that answer She has been in the
habit of recognizing all regularly organized
Governments, and she could not possibly make
the Confederacy of the Cotton States, and
those allied with them, an exception to her
policy to admit of that. On this subject we
give the following items;
The Toronto Leader, of January oath, says :
" The English Government Intends to dcknOic-
tedge the Independence Of the Southern co"fede-
rdcy as soon as for3aed''
The sensible Washington correspondent of
the Erdm iner, under date Washington Jan.
23d, says
- | hear from reliable authority that the Powers
of Great Britain France and Russia will recognize
promptly the independence of the new Southern
Confederacy. Assurances of this have been given
in way which leaves doubt a. To the result.
1t may be counted on with certainty that any at
tempt to block mp Southern trade will be put down
by England and France. They must have the

Dear Sir: From the tenor of several communi-
cations recently received it appears that some of
our Southern friends entertain the opinion that n
the event Of a separation Of the States, the poll
cles issued by this and other companies in the
Northern States will be repudiated. If, by any
possibility, the legal contract could be annulled
IN such an unfortunate contingency, aud which
we emphaticaIly DEFY, this company and we be-
leve all others, Will fully recognize the moral
obligation between their customers aud them
selves, faithfully and promptly TO meet all hon
oraDle demands which can or may be made against
them, without regard to locality, political
views or sentiments. IN our business relations
we know OF no distinction between the North and
South, and certainly shall not inquire, when
demand Is made upon us, whether the deceased
was citizen of the United states. now organ
lied, or OF Southern Confederacy; the only cues
ton being, as stated in the policy, whether he
died while actually engaged IL war, or in conse-
quence of having enlisted therein,
In the earnest nope that our Union may be pre-
