The Whigs published a tract called "The Perils of Popery and Arbitrary Government," which attacked the policies of the Tories and accused them of being closet Catholics. The Tories responded with a tract called "The Danger of the Whigs," which accused the Whigs of being Republicans and accused them of wanting to abolish the monarchy.
