Now it is our duty to pay the last sad tribute of respect to one who died comparatively young in years and who ADDRESS OF ME. VANCE, OF NORTH CAROLINA. 11 stood upon the threshold of an opening career replete with the promise of usefulness. As a Representative of the people of North Carolina, John W. Shackelford was untiring in the vigilance with which he guarded the interests intrusted to his care. While he was firm and resolute in pursuing the course he believed to I)e right, yet he bore hims...elf with such modesty and moderation that he seemed to escape the sharp antagonism of political contests. He commended himself to his associates by his undeviating fidel- ity to what he believed to be just toward the Government as well as toward individuals. As an honest man his reputation is stain- less. While it may not be claimed that he was a great orator, yet he possessed a calm judgment and careful thought and just action, which, after all, bear the burden of the day. Indeed, judging Mr. Shackelford from my intercourse with him, I remember no man to whom could be more aptly applied the shrewd judgment of Horace Walpole : To act with common sense, according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know ; and the best philosophy to do one's duties, take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot, bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it, whatever it is, and despise affectation.
