After Jefferson Davis' resignation from the U.S. Senate in September 1851, he was succeeded by Democrat John J. McRae. After Davis' withdrawal from the Senate in January 1861, his seat remained vacant until February 1870, after Mississippi was readmitted to the Union. The seat was filled at that time by Republican Adelbert Ames.
