middle:
confound the hour he entered my shop! i am a revolutionary but not a murderer. and it would be so easy to kill him. he deserves it. or does he? no! no one deserves the sacrifice others make in becoming assassins. what is to be gained by it? nothing. others and still others keep coming, and the first kill the second, and then these kill the next, and so on until everything becomes a sea of blood. i could cut his throat, so, swish, swish! he would not even have time to moan, and with his eyes shut he would not even see the shine of the razor or the gleam in my eye.

end:
,” he said. he walked to the wardrobe for his belt, his pistol, and his cap. i must have been very pale, and i felt my shirt soaked with sweat. torres finished adjusting his belt buckle, straightened his gun in its holster, and smoothing his hair mechanically, put on his cap. from his trousers pocket he took some coins to pay for the shave. and he started toward the door. on the threshold he stopped for a moment, and turning toward me, he said, "they told me you would kill me. i came to find out if it was true. but it’s not easy to kill. i know what i’m talking about.”

What is the answer to this question

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
