The occasion for this address was Charles H. Wharton's "A Letter to the Roman Catholics of the City of Worcester
... ", 1784, which was published in Annapolis. See number 361. "But the letter not only being printed here, but circulated
widely through the country, a regard to your information, and the tranquility of your consciences requires some notice
to be taken of it." Wharton and Carroll were acquainted and this probably accounts for the moderate temper of the con-
troversy. John Carroll (1735-1815) was a prominent American Catholic and in 1789 was made the first bishop in the
United States.

Introduction is dated March 10,1784. Dedicated to William Paca, governor. "My purpose is to point out some of the
most material errors of our own government, and to propose such measures, as I conceive necessary to revive public credit,
to establish a fair national character, and to render government firm, respectable, and happy." p. vi. He is mainly concerned
with the state and national debts and means of paying them up at an early date. He concludes: "... that without more
harmony between the states, without more zeal, public spirit, and attention in our rulers, without a more vigorous govern-
ment, without more regard to justice, good faith, honour and gratitude, this great and stupendous revolution will answer
no better purpose, than to convince mankind, they were never intended to be free." p. 37. See pages 67-8 for a short
sketch of Hanson's career.
