After the brilliant success of the V movement the old warrior clasped Colonel Davis In his arms and sent to the war department report in praise of the young colonel
 After his return from Mexico MT. Davis was appointed United States senator by the governor of Mississippi to fill vacancy. He was unanimous ly elected when the legislature met In term, which he resigned the next year to run for governor of his state as the state rights" candidate. He was de- feated by a small vote. MT. Davis soon returned to Washington. however. be- ing made secretary of war in the cabi- net of President Franklin Pierce, a post which he filled from 1858 until 1857 with signal ability. Probably no abler war secretary ever held the port folio.
 Mississippi would not let Jefferson Davis rest on his plantation. He was sent back to the United States senate shortly after his retirement from the cabinet After serving four years of hls third fractional term as United States senator he resigned and passed forever out of official connection with the government of the United States. Davis was the Democratic leader of the Thirty-Sixth congress. He opposed Stephen A. Douglas ''sQuatter sov- ereignty" proposition, but upheld the John c. Calhoun doctrine of the right of the states to secede.
 Mississippi seeded on the 9th of January. 1861. Senator Davis was of- ficially notified of this fact on the 24th, and that day be announced his resignation in a notable speech. Davis was an orator of the Ciceronian school. Ills addresses were literary produc- tions. His arguments were expressed in clear. concise, forceful English, de- livered with the austere dignity of an old Roman. His tall. spare form loomed in the senate like the figure of an ascetic who in fasting and solitude had given deep consideration to the questions at issue. In all things be was serious minded man, almost to solemnity, and totally lacking in that saving sense of humor which upheld his executive antagonist at Washing ton, the story telling Lincoln, in the years of sore trial. In his farewell speech Davis defended the south in its declaration of withdrawal from the Union. denied the right of coercion and begged pardon of all those whom he might have offended during his senatorial career.
 With his military education and service and his long experience as war secretary. MT. Davis naturally was ambitious to lead the armies of the south. Before reaching his home he had been appointed commander in chief of the army of Mississippi. but on the 9th of February the Confed- crate congress at Montgomery elected him provisional president of the new government. A year later he was elected president of the Confederate States of America for the full consti- tutional term of six years. Shortly after taking the executive helm Mir.
