We investigate the global classical solutions of the non-relativistic Vlasov-Darwin system with generalized variables (VDG) in three dimensions. We first prove the global existence and uniqueness for small initial data and derive the decay estimates of the Darwin potentials. Then, we show in this framework that the solutions converge in a pointwise sense to solutions of the classical Vlasov-Poisson system (VP) at the asymptotic rate of $\frac{1}{c^2}$ as the speed of light $c$ tends to infinity for all time. Moreover, we obtain rigorously an asymptotic estimate of the difference between the two systems.
