THE ..<« NATIONAL REITBLICAN, OF AUGUSTA, GA. SUBSCRIBE FOB LT. The present Presidential campaign in volves more momentous consequences than any previous political contest in the history of the country. The people of Georgia arc deeply interested in the result, will therefore, look forward to the developments of the campaign with increasing interest. The dissemination of reliable news, and of sound constitutional views on the important issues of the day are essential to the success of the Republican party. To supply in a measure this need, we wil mail The National RefubUcas for any four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the low rate of f 1.50: We appeal to the old supporters of the Republican to aid us in extending its circulation. We pledge onrselves to devote all our energy and ability to the streoess of the great cause in which the Union Repub lican Party is embarked; and to spare neither labor nor expense in making Tire National Republican, a useful and reliable n ewspaper.

St. James’ Cliarch. The unfinished repairs on the building, rendering impracticable any service, the doors of St. James’ Church, and the Sabbath School, will be closed throughout the day. ■> » Tite Free-Pew System. The recent introduction of tlie free pew system in the First Presbyterian Church, at Cincinnati, is attracting much attention. So widely prevalent lias the pew system of church sittings become in the cities, and so expensive the privilege of a place in houses ostensibly dedicated, to the worship of God, that the poor are excluded as absolutely as they are from the private parlors of their wealthy neighbors. The house of God ceases to be a place where all who will may come to confess their sins and seek instruc tion in the way of life. It is transformed into a place in which persons of wealth hold stock, and to whose privileges only they and their families, or such other persons of similar social standing whom they may oc caaionally invite, can hare access." The Gospel is not preached to the poor in Cin cinnati to any considerable extent. The Gospel is too expensive in other citios for the poor. These are sentences which should bring burning to the face of every minister of a # pewed church in the cityi and to the faces of every congregation that aids in making the Gospel.too expensive for the poor. To gratify their own wicked pride ami personal vanity—sins which will bear with hard weight against them in the day of judgment—do these pretended worshipers of the meek Saviour shut the gates of the church agaiuet'lheir poor neighbors. Lost the poor should come into the assembly with toil worn garments, lest the elegance oi these fashionable religious boudoirs should be somewhat diminished, arrangement'! are made which fully preclude the possibility of any such thing occurring. But will not angels, when these rich men and the poor at their gates come to die, know how to discriminate, and to bear the worthy one to Abraham's bosom 1 The worthless imitation, though set in gold, will have no preference before the true gem, though, in the unpolished roughness of the mine. God may be no respecter of persons ; but the Deity is not always, or generally, felt to be so certainly present in a spkhdid temple as to cause the humble attendants to forget that their fellow mortals are respecters of persons according to their outward appear ance. In order to make the free church experiment complete, there must be a more democratic spirit inculcated in the congrega tion. Plainness of apparel, less fashion, fewer outward signs of social distinction—’in short, more of the mass meeting Style, and that democratic appearand which puts rich and poor, high and low, upon an easy equality for the occasion; this is as necessary as free seats and free preaching .to attract the masses.
