CAMP ON THE RIGHT BANK OF THEl
Miss. RIVER, La, Feb, 1853. {
EDITORS WAYNE COUNTY DDMocRAr :
i have always been Republican, and
perhaps have imbibed some of their dan.
gerous doctrines; but when a man is
convinced of error he should be honest
enough to acknowledge it.
We are now encamped on the right
bank of the Mississippi River. near
Yicksburg. The grounds along t6is
s;;sae s'aa ofsthe river are whiteued for miles
with the canvass houses Of the soldiers.
The transports are lying in the river,
ready for any emergency.
The change in sentiment and opinion
is not less marked than the change ply
sically. The abolition theory is very
unpopular, and the practice is utterly
aohored. Hundreds who, at home, were
strong advocates of emancipation as
military necessity, now denounce it as
dangerous to the Uniou. 1t is vain for
the fanatics of the North to labor to
impress the people with the belief that
the troops are in ''eXcellent spirits" and
heartily endorse the present war policy.
When they do 50, they betray their gross
ignorance or shameful dishonesty, for it
is quite the contrary. Dissatisfaction
and discomfort prevail; hundreds are de
serting, and the army is becoming so
much demoralized that no important re.
suits cSn be expected of its actions. -
The fallaCy that tnS North can Snbju.
gate the South, whip them into spbmis.
sion, and reconstruct the Union by fight.
ing, has ceased to blind u.s. 1t is quite
evident that, if the Union is restored at
lll, 1t must be done by compromise. -
This our Republican brethren may be
pleased to term the "vacillation of
weak mind;' but if it is SO, those who
ire denominated the t'noble sons of the
North" are almost universally weak
minded, for when l express my senti.
nents in this language, l express the
