THE MARYLAND STYLE. - The State of Maryland occupies a position of "betwixt and betweenity" which gives a vast influence in the campaign. Her orators are men of mingled energy, moderation, sound sense and reasonable argument. Thus, at a Bell-Everett meeting at Brunswick, N. J. on the 15th inst. Hon. J. M. Harris, M. C. of Maryland, spoke as follows:

When Abraham Lincoln is elected, what practical thing is he to do in connection with slavery? I believe the first act of his administration will be to nationalize the party. He will endeavor to strengthen it South, and make it acceptable there. Is there a Republican who would vote for him if he didn't believe he would make his administration a National one? Why, then, don't you make it the party of the country before the election? I have no fears of the Republican party. I have mingled in Congress for years with Republicans, and I haven't heard the first man of them say that they were going to interfere with the institution of slavery. How different is this from the balderdash we hear occasionally from some of our lugubrious friends who sigh so movingly over the desolation of our political Zion, whenever they think of the election of a Republican President.
