In 1843 he first entered politics
as a candidate for the legislature.
His opponent was Mr. Prentiss,
said to have been the greatest ora

defeated by a narrow margin, but
the next year he was victorious as
an elector on the Polk-Dallas pres
idential ticket. In 1845 he went to

For two reasons this could not be
true; the first f» that Jefferson
Davis was much too brave and
much too noble to be guilty of such
conduct. The second reason is that
we have the testimony of his body

brave, honorable, and submissive.
t He was taken back to Virginia
and indicted for Treason by n

dishonest Federal grand jury.

courage to bring him to trial, be

of Monterey, and at the battle of
Beuna Vista the battle was practi-
tally lost when “a regiment
by Jefferson Davis appeared on the
scene.” He introduced the wedge
movement, and saved the day.
Through all the ages will ring hia
famous command given in the
thickest of the fray, "Steady Mis-
■issipiansi Steady!" He was
wounded in the foot but did not
•top fighting until the battle was
won.. At the battle of Mexico City,
he was the first to scale the wall
of the city. At the end of the war
ha returned home syith the Inten
tion of settling down, but his
country called and like the patriot
that he was, ho answered tho call
without a murmur of dissent.
In 1847 he was appointed to the
United States Senate by the Gov-
emor of Mississippi. Here he re
mained for some years and distin
guished himself as an orator and
debater.
He resigned the senatorial toga
in 1853 to become Secretary of
War in the cabinet of President
Franklin Pierce. America
never thank Jefferson Davis for
his services In that office. He pro
posed the construction of "Cabin
John” Bridge, which now stands as
a monument to his administration.
He urged the building of the new
Senate Hall and the new House of
Kepresentatives, and the Treasury
Building. He appointed the most
efficient Commander at West
Point that waa ever, there—Robert
E. Lee. He fortified the Western
frontier and often drew on the
Southern arsenals to do it. He
sent General George D. McClellan
to Crimea to atudy the tactics of
the British and Russian armies,
then engaged in the Crimean War.
And it waa he who ordered the
survey of the vast unknown West-
era frontier.
At the close of hia term as Sec
retary of War, ho went to the
United States Senate again, where
he waa a worthy successor to John
C. Calhoun. He championed the
States' Rights Question and also
the Slavery Question. No more
eloquent orator or more able
statesman could have been found
to champion the CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES, as
the clouds were gathering for the
War Between the States.
He remained in the Senate four
years, then Abraham Lincoln was
elected President of the United
States. The South seceded and
when Mississippi left Davis believ
ed it his duty to go with her. Ac
cordingly he delivered his “Fare
well Address,” and when it was
known that he was to deliver it
the House of Representatives came
in a body to hear him. It was said
to have been one of the finest ora
torical efforts of the age. He
closed it by saying:
“Then, Senators we recur to the
compact which binds us together;
we recur to the principles on which
our government was founded; and
when you deny them, and when you
deny us the right to withdraw
from a government, which, thus
perverted threatens to be destruc
tive to our rights, we but tread in
the noth* of our forefathers when
we declare our independence and
take the hazard. We do this, not
in hostility to others nor even for
our own pecuniary benefit, but
from the high and solemn motive
of defending and protecting the
righta which w» inherited, and,
which we feel, it our sacred duty
to transmit unshorn to our chil
dren.” — —— — - ' —
When the Confederate Provision-
si Congress met at Montgomery,

At the end of three years im
prisonment in Fortress Monroe he
was released and returned home to
the people for whom, he had been
willing to suffer shame and em
barrassment.
Did he ever regret the step he
had taken in regard to secession?
