Nobody seems to care one straw for what the Peers say about any public matter.

A Resolution of the Court of Common Council, or of a meeting at Freemasons' Hall, has often made a greater sensation than this declaration of a branch of the Legislature against the Executive Government.

The institution of the Peerage is evidently dying a natural death.
I dined yesterday--where, and on what, and at what price, I am ashamed to tell you.

Such scandalous extravagance and gluttony I will not commit to writing.

I blush when I think of it.
