Obscured beneath the rubbish of the age
Obsessed with an overweening pride
Obstacles that are difficult but not insuperable
Obviously at variance with facts
Occasioned by direct moral turpitude
[turpitude = depravity; baseness]

On sure ground of fact
On the edge of great irritability
On the horns of a dilemma

One of the foreseen and inevitable results

Oppressed by some vague dread
Organs of party rage and popular frenzy
Our opinions were diametrically opposed
Our vaunted civilization
Outward mark of obeisance and humiliation
[obeisance = attitude of deference]
Overcome by an access of misery
Overshadowed by a fretful anxiety
Overwhelmed with reproach and popular indignation
