ANDREW HINIGHAM AND BOSTON, TOGET11ER WITK HIS TESTIMONY EFORE THE HARPER'S FERRY COMMITTEE OF THE SENATE, IN RELANTION TO JOEIN _BROWN. -ALSO- THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM AN-D OTHER MATTERS. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE. Reception at Hingham. YoAn .1. .ndrew among His Towns-Peole. A CORDIAL WELCOME HOME. Phonographically Reported for the Traveller by .T. M. W. Yerrnton. JoHN A. ANDREW, Esq., the Republican nomi- nee for Governor, resides, during the summer months, in the fine old town of Hingham, down by the sea-shore, where he has made his home for some years. On Saturday, he returned there from most effective and noble service in the canvass now so energetically prosecuted in Maine, and his fellow-townsmen, irrespective of party affiliation, determined to give him a reception which should testify their admiration and love for the man, and their conviction that his nomination by the Republican party, as their candidate for thae chief office in the gift of the Commonwealth, was one eminently fit to be made. The time fixed was Monday evening, Sept. 3d, and notwithstanding the brief notice that could be given (for the prep- arations were, almost literally, the work of an hour), the demonstration was not only large in point of numbers, but most hearty and enthusias- tic in its character, and must have been exceeding- man in whose honor it was conceived and carried out. At eight o'clock, several hundred people gath- ered in front of Loring's Hall, where they were marshalled in procession, and, preceded by the North Weymouth Band, marched through the streets of the beautiful and ancient town, the way being illuminated by the blaze of blue lights and the flash of rockets, and the air stirred with the frequeiat cheers of the rejoicing multitude. The good people of Hingham seemed to be all astir, and balcony, door-vay and window were thronged with eager and happy faces, while groups were gathered in the streets at the most available positions, who greeted the procession as it passed with cheers and shouts. Many buildings were illuminated, and every thing was lively and animated as upon a holiday. About nine o'clock, the march ended, for the time, in front of Mr. Andrew's house, where a large company had already assembled, in antici- pation of the arrival of the procession. Among the number were many gentlemen not of Mr. Andrew's household of political faith, who took part in the festivities of the occasion with hearti- ness and zeal. The fair ladies of the town were present, in large numbers, and thronged the gar- den in front of the house, giving an added loveli- ness to the scene. Arrived at the house, the band played Hail to the Chief, after which the crowd made the wel. ly gratifying to the genial and warm-hearted gentle kin ring with three cheers for Mr. Andrew. T.T.
