Meeting of Friends to Immigrants.


By notice in our advertising columns it VIII
be seen that the citizens of New York friendly to
the formation of a Society for the Protection Of
Immigrants arriving here from Europe, without
distinction of country or creed, are invited to
assemble in General Meeting at Washington Hall
on Tuesday evening next. We trust there VIII
be a very general attendance. The outrageous
frauds and impositons to which Immigrants have
hitherto been subjected, through their ignorance Of
our laws, language, county, and customs must be
thoroughly cradicated and this can only be done
through the nstWmcnlality of some organization
able and willing TO afford to all Immigrants cor
rect, disintcrcsted and full information on all sub
lects of interest TO them and at once TO expose and
defeat every attempt 10 deiraud or mislead them
