From th« Wmibingtoi Qlob«. debate in the senate, On the Nominatim of Mr. fan JJunn. Sketch of Mr. Forsyth's Speech) IN KEPLr TO MU. MILLIK Mr, PaßKiDitNr: We were told by flu Sensi or wtm has Just conclude'!, ia the be ginning of hn extraordinary speech, that Ik intended t* publish his renmks for his own ▼iadicatinn. No friend of Mr, Van Bur-o: will complain of the fulfillment of tins in tention. Os the long list of offences committed by* Mr. Van Burnt, U was natural that tht Senator should begin with (hose at homo. He says General Jackson has been separat ed from bun and bis friends by the artifices, of Mr. Van Horen, mid he tells ns of hit 1 own zeal and devotion to the hero of New - <)cle«n» : and read mint's ficm his own spiech at the Waxaws, when he assured | auditors that *• the philosophy of utiur O’ i u s '• a rulli.ient guaraoy” lot the Gcne-p ■ il'a “ local altachl•l•*rlts. ,, ll.iv/ does i'Ji appear (list Mr. Van Boren produced thi»|» dreadful separation f No evidence of it is , exhibited ; and, with due deference to the - Senator, I would suggoat that he was only ( mistaken in his theory ; " the philosophy , of imarc” was not so strung a guaiaoty a* lie imagined. Bot, is whit is insinuated, < fact? il is General Jackson forgotten his j local attacmnniKs, (he land ol his birtli and i of his earliest affections, where he bar so [ many <1 - voted and disinterested Irionds f i No sir } it is not possible ; General Jack- i sou has not separated Iroiu South. Carolina, i nor Isai separated t orn South-Carolina, nor y ha# South Cut <lina yet withdrawn from him, although the Senator seems 10 be ear- r neatly hunting up causes for a divorce. i The radical paily in Soulh-Carolina— t tho Unionists--have, the Senator says, giv-'f • n mi their adhesion from interested motives i to VI-, Van Buien fur the succession to the g -and Hub is anothsr of hi a i crime*: N iw, sir, Ido not kn-w that it is f trie 'urn they di-sire he succession for Mr.l, Van Rureo j certainly they niigu- go further # and fare worse, and faro modi worse and f not go quite ho far. Fur this supposed in | tcresied adhesion, they are stigmatised heieil by ono of their Senators. I am treading, Mr. I’resid ent, upon almost (.nbiddenf groom! ; travelling into a neighbouring S'ate j ,o mingle in its party siife; bul l I• ci lor j vhe>e Rnlicals—these II .io-jisu ; we acted t together in by-gone times ; we think alike , still ; ami if I weie not to say a word in t their bahalf, as the two Senators from the , v l!tn»e are of the party opposed to them at 1 ur.e, thev m ght chance to be condemned ’] for the want of the plea of not guilty to g the charge exhibited against t iem. Under fi vhese C»>. tuvs , (>■■ 1- U i.. •epeih the imputations cam upon the anti -nullil'iers j es South Curoii ia, takt -g up du evi , uerice, shsft nrove that they are unj > -.tly 1 charged. Wint is this evidence? The, iena' if who iuik-'» the ■ h rg,- on the ques- [ U,.n of the, J* -mmole war, stood ny the G - neral with firm ness nod zeal ; defended ( him ri*hl or wrong. The radicals were a . mo,.g his ceusurei s and the question is ein 1 phatically asked, where was Geo c,ia then f , Georgia then was where she is now, and I 4 where I trust she wi I ever be f.-u -d, by the , side of the Unionists, standing up fur the , right and reprehending the wrong. The | Senator seem# to imagine lh.i ! true patriot-l, ism consists in favor ol one's Intends, in!| ceasing to discriminate between truth a.nil error. Such is not our theory—for violated! laws, we held nil re p m#ib e, friends and foes. It-cent developeni irs nave shewn that General J ickson bad means ol defence he disdained In use, but if iheie is one Geor-| gum, one rallied, who regrets ihe part lie| took on that transaciun, I -hank God, to me, he is uokuuivi.. I trust, Sir, that to a-! tone for hi- own eiror in d (ending wit at tie j nr ics insinuates urns wrong, he docs not, unp der the powei of some in s er leeling. in tend to censure every thing that is right. Mr. Cobb and Mr. Crawford have been named by du Senator. Mr, Cobb is no longer am mp os to answer. He did his du ty, arc u tltug to bis conception of dial du v, in tliis and every other act of his public life, lire friends know 'hut his conduct w»* open, and bis motives pore. The ground he stood upon here, he never sb.u.d .tied while he lived. Me. Ciawl »rd, S am.sur rinsed the del un c til 1 think,—(Mr, Mil er said he alluded to M .

I am glad (o be corrected, Mr. Joe Ctu«v ford acted w'-th lus tilends, and is guilty ol the charge d having voted for eoquuv uifo the Semnnd" wee. He lives to remember, not to regret that act. This Union party, which seems (o haunt hi* imagination, it I am not strangely mi* iaken. had the honor, a short pme -’nee. to lumbar him as a member of it, (Mr. Mil ler denied that he had aver been.) W. u, ilie Senator ought to know ; but in tins fact, 1 cannot b ■ mistaken—The .Senator tv a candidate, broug it forward by flu: party, tor the Stale Government—-and the causi ol postponing f i two years the elevation id ’he accuni|)lisn d gentleman who now stands at the helm of h r affnrs. the recollec tion ot that lact should have prevented » charge against them ,d being Irmii selfish motives, love of office, devoted to the do minant power ; following 1 ko the sun-fi,us er, the mistions ot the risen sun.

I Who and what is the gentleman at whom: this arrow has been cast, the first of the -lioal of office seekers !

South Carolina i was neglect'd. (i-ivernor Hamilton was,l told he might have been Secretary of War, ’ but for his violence agiinst the I'ariff; and , what seemed to have added venom io the | H'ing, S mlb Carolina was not only passed ( over, but an Attorney General was looked ’ for in Georgia ; and all thin was the wm k of the Uom Daniel of New V >rk.

If my memory dec ives me i ot, h-’ b.is publicly declared he migtit tiave , had i slice, luni he desired; he did n -t desire i it. In this, and in all other things, he is < incapable of deceit.
