Explanation:

The speech by Jefferson Davis to the Mississippi Legislature focuses on the state's potential separation from the Union. The excerpt "Now, as in 1851, I hold separation from the Union by the State of Mississippi to be the last remedy - the final alternative" directly addresses the major theme of the state's possible secession. The other excerpts discuss topics like constitutional rights, personal history (military service), and false accusations (forcing slavery), which are not the main theme of the speech.

Answer:

"Now, as in 1851, I hold separation from the Union by the State of Mississippi to be the last remedy - the final alternative."
