 We give to-day the speech of Mr.. Forsyth, on Mr. Van Buren's nomina- tion--the only one we have yet seen, which goes at large into the support ot the appointment. That of Mir. Smith on the same side has been published, but in consequence of the irregulafily ot the mails, has not yet reached us.- We have seen some extracts from it. and have particularly noticed the foi- lowing important note, which proves the injustice of punishing Mir. Van Bu- ren by rejection, for the mere dis charge of his duty in ministerial ca- pacity, as well as of attrbuting to him changes in the administration of the 1 government, in procuring which he had lperhaps no agency whatever. Mir. Smith says

 "Snce the above speech was deliver ed,i have seen and conyersed with the President, and have been authorized to say sthat the objectionable paragraphs alluded to in the debate, were dictated by him to Mir. Van Buren,-that they were his acts, and not the act of Mr. Van Buren;@ and l have been snbse- quently informed, by Senator from Tennessee, that prior to his leaving home, 10 assume his station Tn the Senate, the President had told hiBh that he Gen. jackson) would on all oc- casions of consequence, require the opinion of his Cabinet in writing. thus. | Gas the Senator understood him.l dis pensiRg with Cabinet meetings. The fact, then, of not calling his Cabinet to- gether, was the Presidents own act, and not in consequence of the advise ment of Mir. Van Buren, as has been SC repeatedly affirmed"

 1 A public meeting, which is said to have been numcrously and respectfully attended, was lately held at New York. of persons friendly to the rejection of Mir. Van Buren's nomination, and resolu- lions were adopted in favor of the de- cision of the Senate on this important subject. Meetings likewise have been held at Philadelphia, and called at oth- CT places, for the purpose of manifest ling public feeling, on both sides of the question. The subject is likel, as we originally anticipated, to create much popular excitement. The friends of the present administration, with the ex- lception of such as are more strongly attached 10 Mr. Calhoun than to Gen. Jackson, will unite with zeal in favor of Mir. Van Buren and in opposition 10 the rejection. rlse opponents .: u,,f ii .!ias ias administration and the thorough going nullIliers will sustain and applaud the decision of the Senate. There can be DO doubt, we presume, of the support of Mr. Van Buren for the Vice Presden- icy by the friends of the administration generally, and if so, we consider his election morally certain. Nothing but an unforseenand unexpected contingent cy can defeatit.

 We have Washington papers of the 18th inst. but no intermediate paper from the 8th. We learn indirectly that bill rechartering the Bank of the
