one asking if he would consent to becon
n a candidate for the U. 8 senate, has late
n been published. A prominent Missi
g sippian, now in Washington, says that
sets at rest forever the suggestion tn
Davis will again represent his state

however, is very mildly expressed. I
does not desire to be elected, does n
wish to reenter the senate, and is aver
to public station. His name will not b
with his consent, included among the ca
didates. The reason alleged for the I

on account of prejudice in the nor
against him.
