The excerpt from Jefferson Davis' speech to the Mississippi Legislature that best expresses a major theme of the speech is: “Now, as in 1851, I hold separation from the Union by the State of Mississippi to be the last remedy—the final alternative.”

Jefferson Davis loves Mississippi, and throughout the speech he praises the State that saw him grow into a man. It is due to this very love that he strongly believes (and this particular speech is not the first time he states it) that Mississippi should separate from the Union. The excerpt quoted clearly states his main idea in the speech at hand.
