Peddling and pitiful compromises
Pelting one another with catchwords
Perfectly illustrated and exemplified
Perpetually excite our curiosity
Pierced to the quick
Pitiful shifts of policy
Plainly dictated by a lofty purpose
Pleading the exigencies of strategical interest [exigencies = urgent situations]
Plunged into tumultuous preoccupation
Pointed out with triumphant malice
