We recommend the following extract from an address delivered by Joseph T. Buckingham, Esq editor of the Boston Courier, before the Massuchu sets Charitable Mechanic Association, on the 7tl of Ocober last, to the special attention and deli berale consideration our readers generally and o the mechanics and aboring class of the community particularly.

 Give me whereupon to stand, exclaimed Archi medes, and with my lever will move the word.- The mechanics of these free and independent State, can do as much; they gan make as proud boast a, the Grecian Philosopher, and they are not, like him without safe position on which to plant themselves while they put the power into operation, The inhu ence they possess as body is daily increasing Ar awakening spirit is abroad among them, and stirring them up to the establishment ofsciools, lyceums md institutions for purposes of education, and for IT, ting and directing their energies to the advancement of literature, and arts, and sciences. The highest honor of Il mechanic or any other man, consists 1T the cultivation of his mind; because it Is mind tha controls and directs every thing else. It is mind which pursues, preserves aud enjoys happiness it is the mind alone, of all earthly pussons which n eternal mind is the only attribute of our nature which exalts us to the likeness of our Maker-the only one, in which the image of God is reflected.

 ''It is the mind that makes the body rich. It i. wisdom aad understanding that makes the man nde pendent Ignorance is, of all slavery, tic most de grading Chains and letters may be made of gold a well as of iron, but neither the one nor the othe can keep down the energies of an intelligent, well cultivated, independent mind-a mind trianed in tn, school of wiiue, and imbued with principles of hon esty integrity, frmness, honor, and that self love which foims the basis of the social system. Tn, power of such spirit is uncomfortable and unlimi ted it's elasticity more be subdued than tha of the vita. fluid, which sustains it's physical organi zatiou Prison walls cannot confne il; no mountains nor seas set bounds to its operations"
