The publication which appeared in Mr. Holt's paper of the
20th instant, informing, "that a coalition is forming in
this city between certain Whigs, and some of the most
atrocious and obnoxious Tories, for the purpose of promoting
the Dancing Assembly," the public may be assured, is without
foundation in fact, and an infamous attack upon the
characters of gentlemen, who have been as uniform and
steady, made as large sacrifices of property, and run as
many personal hazards in the pursuit of the happiness and
freedom of their country, as the designing knave who dared
give birth to that infamous publication. The greatest care
has been taken to exclude every character, whose admission
could possibly give a pang to a real Whig;--and the author
of that publication may be assured, that there are Whigs
concerned in promoting the Dancing Assembly, who dare think
and act for themselves.
