Following the Mexican War, Colonel Davis came home to Mississippi. With “This exploit at Buena Vista created the profoundest enthusiasm throughout the country, and the Legislatures of several states passed resolutions thanking him for his services. Governor Brown of his own state, in obedience to an overwhelming popular sentiment, a few weeks after his return, appointed Colonel Davis to fill a vacancy that had occurred in the Senate, an appointment which was speedily ratified by the Legislature.” [1904, The Real Jefferson Davis, p. p. 49.] Davis began in the first session of the Thirtieth Congress in December – 1847.
“After seven years of almost uninterruptedly continuous public service, either civil or military, Mr, Davis was now in retirement for some months. During this period he has described himself as happy in the peaceful pursuits of a planter, busily engaged in cares for servants, in the improvement of his land, in building, in rearing live stock, and the like occupations. He took, nevertheless, an active interest in the presidential canvass of 1852, and on the election of General Pierce was invited to a seat in his cabinet. This offer was at first declined, but having accepted an invitation to attend the inauguration, which took place on the 4th of March, 1853, he was induced, ‘by public considerations,’ on its renewal, to reconsider the matter and accept the office of Secretary of War.” [1890, The Davis Memorial Volume or Our Dead President, Jefferson Davis, and the World's Tribute To His Memory, p. 79.]
