PRESIDENT DAVIS AND THE SEN
ATORSHIP.
We subjoin letter from our old friend
Col. Martin, as follows:

We subjoin letter from our old frien
Col. Martin, as follows:
/ Houston, Miss, July 4th, 1870
To the Editor of the Comet:
| DEAR SIR-In q late number of TIL
COMET is seen an editorial article, (statet
as by authority in words like the following
speaking of the declaration and purpose
of Ex-President DAVIS in connection will
the United States Senate, you quote hi
position and wishes substantially thus:
"Mr. Davis had positively declined tc
permit his name to 60 before the Legisla
ture, and that he was outspoken in favor OF
another man who is a candidate"
Now, [ suggest that, inasmuch as youi
article above referred to touches matters OF
great public interest to the people of Mis-
| sissippi, and is susceptible of different con-
| struction by those who have read or may
| read, it might be we'll for you, through the
| columns of The COMET to explain fully
!! tho truthful meaning of that article If
Mr.. Davis is ''outspoken" as to his own de-
termination not to permit his name to go
before the Legislature for the United States
Senate, n knowledge of that TACT by our
whole people could effect no wrong to him,
and might result in much good to the DEM
ocratic party of this State and the country
for that knowledge to be made general be-
fore our approaching canvass shall be
opened.
That the election of Senator will to
some extent, enter into the coming canvass
for members of the Legislature is certainly
true; and being true, as it is also proper,
the people ought to be informed as to the
persons who are and will be candidates for
the Senate before they are called on to vote
for members of the Legislature.
That many thousands of our people be-
lieve Jefferson Davis worthy and deserving
again to occupy the United States Senate |
is well understood; but if there are existing |
satisfactory to himself why he will |
not be a candidate for the position, that is
a fact of great public interest and ought
to be made known to the people,
Yours most respectfully,
7. N. MARTIN.
P. S.-While I am one of the early and
continuous friends of JEFF. Davis-having
cast the vote of my county for him in the
Democratic State Convention when he was
first nominated for Congress in 1851 do
not now favor his election to the United
States Senate. On the contrary, am 'out-
spoken in favor of another man who is a
and that 'other man. is Col.
e. Barksdale, whose fitness for file leader
If Mississippi Democracy is equal to any
nan in the South. 1 judging that matter
ior myself Truly yours,
L. N. MARTIN.
