'[Washington .Special N. Y. Herald.] Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, thdngli for many months an invalid, is- fctnv enjoying tfifir health ntidiis able to ride out daily, rerrmrning jiv his carriage for several hours. His| attention had been directed to the subject of “new lines of departure,” and he remarked that he was struck witli the expressions of the Secretary of the Navy in regard to the old Whig principles. The question being asked whether he thought the signs ef the times indicated the formation of a new party out of the more con servative elements of the existing political organizations, Mr. Stephens replied; “ I do not sec anything to warrant the belief that a new party is likely to be formed, or that the old Whig party will be revived. The old Whig party is functus officio, though its principles are daily being vivified in the acts of the new administration. Issues and principles make parties. A new party must have for its foun dation a permanent issue. It must have time and development for its formation, and as our public questions stand to-day, I do not see upon what men could unite to form a new party. A party cannot he manufactured to order any more than a government. The Mexicans tried the latter experi ment and signgllv failed. The itmgthema peculiar habits.

You could never form a party upon such a basis as that. It might be an important appendage of a campaign, but you cannot nationalize it, so to slpeak. No; sir, 'there is but one issue pending, and that is home rule.. Com ing l&clrto the Jeffersonian doctrine, theBe may he some who are disappoint ed at the turn matters have taken; some who are still in the woods who tuny at first be inclined to oppose and condemn the President’s course, but, in my opinion, formed upon a knowl edge of the Southern people, that op position will be short-lived. I look for on almost unanimous support of the Administration by the Democracy throughout the country, and especially on the part of our southern delegations in Congress. For this reason I do not think there will be any effort made to organize the House on any other than existing nominal party denominations. I think it would be impolitic for the real supporters of the administration to attempt any such divergence at thi*. time, but they should remain steadfast in carrying out the pacification policy according to the expressed convictions of the President.’’ Allusion being made to the Presi dent's feeling annoyed at the charge of deserting his colors, Mr. Stephens con tinued : ** Well, I can sympathize with him in that trouble, for I know what it is to be charged with being a traitor to your party and to your country. But when men think they are right, and act from heartfelt convictions, **—’e remamivfrt-leaat, the consolation of Knowing tliai'he believeshe is do ing right. President Ilayes has no uncertain knowledge of the duty he has been called upon to perform, and if he finds his friends press him too closely, he can appeal from the new to the old republicans, as Burke, in Ira masterly letter, in a most impor tant crisis in Englang, appealed from the new to the old wliigs. There can he no doubt of the result of such an appeal. The south would hear it as a unit, and the conservation element of the north would respond in solid columns.” THE COMING SESSION. could not he more of an anti-slavery j The withdrawal of the troops from a grand (success, and we congratulate j man 1,1 I"** sentiments than was Presi- !

Your correspondent suggested to Mr. Stephens that President Ilayes felt annoyed at the insinuations made by some of the Radical leaders that he was not standing by his party, when the truth was that Mr. Hayes had been a life-long advocate of the anti-slavery cause, and had no idea of surrendering his principles. Mr. Stephens continued : “ Ho next feature introduced was l he MULLIGAN GUARDS.

I suggel checking your fields of cotton with lorn in rows fifteen to twenty feet aiart, one hill at every intersec tion. j Wiih fair seasons, this will very largely increase the product of corn, without a corresponding decrease of tlm.ccttoiL • , I farther suggest .the planting of tiie sjubblc fields in peas so soon as the wheat and oats shall have been harvested. Pay special attention to the raising every pound of pork possible. Take care of the pigs. ‘ t These suggestions are not designed to alarm or to create a sensation. A toorel to the wise is sufficient. “ A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, .but the simple pass on and are punished.” Very respectfully, Thomas P. Janes, Comissioner of Agriculture. “ Let us look at the question as it presents itself now. The Jeffersonian idea was the reserved rights of the States in administering their internal lively debate upon the proposition to insert a proviso restricting the use of the funds similar to that adopted by the house at its last session. He had noticed several weeks ago that there affairs, while the action of the Federal was a disposition on the part of a government is to be confined to its ■ prominent republican journal to ad- limited restrictions, aud it is upon that j voeate this restriction, and if such a platform that President Hayes has j clause was propose:!, lie did not sec squarely planted himself. With him are the people qf the. South, who have been longing for the time when they would be allowecLto govern themselves without the intervention of Federal authority. In the North there ar,e, doubtless, a vast number of the mem-, hers of the old Whig party whose judg ment approves of t|ie action of the President. The name of the organiza tion is. immaterial., Principle is the oply thing essential, and while the great question of the hour is hom^ rule, it is not important whether. the’ sup porters of the President’s policy call themselves Republicans or Democrats. Upon no other question can we have anything like unity.” TEMPORARY I8SUES. “ Temporary issues, such as the tariff that the president would have any cause for complaint. That was the only point for debate likely to cause differences worth mentioning.’’ Here is a . characteristic American isin which eyerv one will recognize, lie was in the company of some of- those who fought in the late war. He had jfist related a little experience of his own. The landlord inquired, “What position did you hold, sir?” lie answered, “ I was ouly a private.’ The next day a receipted bill was hand ed to him with these words, “ You need not pay a dollar for your ente r- tainment at my hotel, sir, for you are the ouly private I ever heard of. The rest have all been officers of th e highest rank.”
