Senate

.—In some countries, is an assembly of the scum of the earth, who will stick at nothing that is depraved and dishonourable, to increase their treasures by plundering the people, depriving them first of their wealth, and then of all the sweets of liberty, and all the comforts of domestic life.—In England the senators are all honest men, “all honourable men!”
