BEDFORD INQUIRER. ________ Friday Horning, Ssv. I<, 1860. "FEARLESS AND FREE." O. OVER—Editor and ProprJetor. PAY UP! PAT DTP The election is now over, and tbe Republicans have been successful. We have been at considf-ra . ble expense during the campaign, and would like otr debtors to antie up. Tbe crops have been good, and they have no excuse for not paying us. For the last six or nine months we have not got in money enough to carry on our printing establishment and have had to run several hundred dollars in debt for doi g so. Will not our subscribers now pay us? A great many owe us for advertising, particularly Estate printing. The approaching Court will afford many an opportunity to pay us, and we hope noue of our friends will come to town without preparing themselves to settle with us, and those not coming will please send the amount of their indebtedness by a triend or by letter. We are in earnest in this matter. POLITICAL MEETING. A Meeting of the friends of Lincoln and Hamlin, to congratulate each other upon the glorious results of the late elections, will be held at the Court House, io Bedford 80-ougb, on the evening of TUESPAY the 20th inst, being the Tuesday evening of Court Week. Several speakers will be present to address tho meeting. By order of the County Committee. S. L RUSSELL, Chairman. Bedford comm. We this week publish tbe official returns of the election for President in Bedford County. It will Oe seen Lincoln oarrie# the County by a majority of 2SI votes over tho Reading electoral ticket, and by a majority of 181 votes over all opposition ! This is truly grat ifying. Our County now stands redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled, and we mean to keep it so. All that is needed for our friends, hereafter, is to vote, as we have the numbers. At the Ootober election, Foster had 2561 votes, and Curtin had 2464. Foster's majori ty was 97. At tbe election for President, Lincoln bad 2505 votes—a gain of 41—and all opposition 2324 votes—a loss of 237. Although we Lave an apparent gain of 41 votes, and thu opposition a loss of 227, yet this is not correct. The loss on our side, we believe, was a? great as that of the opposi tion. Many of our voters stayed at home, un der the belief that evorything was aecure, and that their votes were not needed. Our gain, and part of the opposition loss, oceurrod by men voting for Lincoln, that voted against us for Governor. We know of a dozen snob in Bedford Township, ond there were others all over the County. All bail to Bedford County ! she has placed herself ?amoDg the list of patriotio Lincoln Counties of tbe State. She stands forth as one of tbe Counties that has done her whole duty ! Huzza! Huzza! St. Clair Township deserves especial credit for her Tote at tbe November electiou. In October she gave Curtin 73 majority. She gives Lincoln 111 over tbe Koading ticket and 95 over all opposition—a gain of 22! This is glorious for St. Clair. Monroe gave Curtin 56 it gives Lincoln 74 over all—a gain of 18. Well done for Monroe. Hopewell gave at the October election 44 majority—it gives Lincoln 59 over all. East Providenoe gives Lincoln 121 ever all, it gave Curtin 101.— West Providence gives Lincoln over all 125, it gave Curtin 113. Union gives Lincoln 48 over ail, it gave Curtin 41. South Woodbcrry gives Lincoln 28, it gave Curtin 24. In fact our friends did well in nearly every Township in tbe County, particularly Napier, Juniata, Schellsborg, Snake Spiiug. But it is uo use in particularizing, as they all appear to have done well. MIDDLE WOODBERRY.— Tbis is a gallant Township. She made our hearts rejoice at the October election with her 98 majority— We well recollect that the Locofocos charged our friends with importing votes from Blair County, but our boys told them to look out, and they would find a reserved vote that would swell the majority iu November to 120—and it is done, and 2 votea over, 122 being Lincoln's majority. We have the votes there all the time for 125 majority if we get them out. — But what must appear strange to tbe Loeofoeos, is the faot that Blair gives Lincoln some three hundred over Curtin! Whet do they now think of Ibe imported vote in Woodborry ♦ A Fraudulent Victory! CURTIN'S MAJORITY IMPORTED. The most stupendous and audacious frauds were perpetrated by the Black Republican wire-workers at the reoent State election. In almost every election district in the State where there was a Republican majority in the Election board, numbers of fraudulent votes were polled. In some such districts in our own county, the TEN DAY LIST was. swelled to the number of fifty and sixty ! In Phila delphia, we are informed by a gentleman who resides in that city, and who at the late elec tion acted as a watcher at one of the precincts, there were at loast 10,000 fraudulent votes polled for the Republican candidates. This was done by importing votes from New Jersey and New England, and having their names put upon the Ten Day List. In Bradford, Tioga and Erie counties, thousands of votes were cast for Curtin, by persons shipped over from New York. In Allegheny and Lancaster counties the same gamo was played. The vote of these places show? it. Take up tbo Cen sus reports, and in most of them you can't find within a thousand or two as many voters as there are votes polled, and this, too, in the face of the fact that a considerable number of voters never turn out to the election. On the 6tb of November, uext, these importod votes will be needed in New Jersey and New York, and the fraudulent majority of Curtin in Penn sylvania can be reduced to nothing if every Democrat rallies to his post. — Bedjord Ga zette. At the October election, we wore beaten in Bedford Couuty 97 votes. We have for Pres ident a majority of 281 over tho Reading elec toral ticket, and 181 over Foster, and now Lincoln has from 60,000 to 100,000 majority in the State. Pretty good, considering that the voters from New England, New Jersey and New York were "needed" at homo "on the 6th of November." Try again, our ex-Know- Nothiog friend. Maybe you oan give as good an excuse for the November thiashing your new love party has received. Perhaps this time they were imported from the South 1 DEMOCRATS ! Remember that we are now a united party, that there is but one Democratic Electoral Ticket, that the Breckinridge men and the Douglas men will Loth vote it, and that there for, we may redeem Pennsylvania, if we go to work. Now is the time to fight for principle ! The old Democratio flag still waves above us ! It shall never he dishonored. To the rescue, Democrats of Bedford county.— Bedford Ga zette. Well, they did vote for principle , with a vengeance ! Tbe Douglas men gave Breckin ridge half a vote, and the Breckinridge men gave Douglas half a vote ! "To the rescue, Democrats of Bedford County !" Well, they came, didn't they T NEW JKRBBV.. —It L NOW rendered pretty eertain thai four Lincoln electors and three Douglas electors have been eleoted in New Jer sey. These three electors were on the fusion ticket and on the straight Douglas. .MISSOURI. —This State has gone for Bell by about 6,000 or 7,000 majority. This leaves Douglas only the three electors from New Jeisey. VIRGINIA. —This State is very close betweiu Bell and Breckinridge, with the chances in favor of Bell. Maryland, has gone for Beckinridge, by some 300 oi 400 majority. Georgia and North Carolina are both oiose between Bell and Breckinridge with the ohauces in favor of Breckinridge. Kentucky and Tennessee have gone for Bell. The 1098 of the Locofocos in Cumberland Valley, on the October election, is 44 votes. Suppose they had the same majority they bad before, we would still have carried tbe County by 137 over all. They lost 14 votes in South ampton, and 33 in Juniata; add these logetb* er, and we still would have carried tbe County by 90 over all. We think Bedford County is a pretty Bafe Lincoln County. The Charleston Mercury says that "if Mr. Lincoln were to come out and declare that he held sacred every right of the South, with re spect to African slavery, no one should be lieve him; and if be was believed, his profes sions should not have the least influence on the course of the South." This may fairly be called obstinacy. CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIBERS. This is the last number that our campaign subscribers will receive. We hope they will now become regolar subscribers. Wo intend to devote considerable attention to our paper through the winter, and make it worthy the patronage of the people of the County. We reoeived, some days ago, a Card, signed by thirteen citizens of Kaiosburg, in reference to a Card published in the Gazette of the 26th ult. We think the signers a little fast. That Card does not "charge the citizens of Ruins burg with a base falsehood, gotten up to in jure" any one. The publication of this C ard would do DO good, and might do harm. OLD BERKS HERSELF AGAIN. Berks County gives Foster nearly 4000 ma jority. Last year Wright's majority was 1100. "Alt Berks" will soon be herself again—Bed ford Gazette , 19M ult. For President, Berks just gives 2137! Coming down, ain't it? The glory of "Alt Berks" has departed forever, Mr. Gazette. The majority for Lincoln in this State, will be probably 60,000 over all, and over 100,- 000 over tbe Reading ticket. We will pub liab tbe table in our next. _ Thursday next ia Thanksgiving Day.

The people of the-United States have indi cated, according to the forms prescribed by the Constitution, tbeir desire that Abraham Lin coln of Illinois shall be their nex President, and Hannibal Hamlin of Maine tbeir Vice Pres ident. A very largo plurality of the popular vote has been cast for them, and a decided ma jority of Electors chosen whu will undoubtedly vote for and elect ibein on the first Wednesday in December next. The electoral votes will bo formally sealed up and forwarded to Washing ton, there to be opened and counted, on a given day in February next, in the presenoe of both Houses of Congress; and it will then be the duty of Mr. John C. Breckinridge, as President of the Senate, to declare Lincolo and Hamlin duly elected President and Vioe Prosideat of these United States. Some people do Dot like this, as is very nat ural. Dogberry discovered, a good while ago, that "When two ride a horse, one must ride behind. ' ihat is not generally deemed the preferable seat; but the rule remains uuaffeoted by that circumstance. We knovr how to gym* pathize with the defeated; for we remember how toe felt when Adams was defeated; aud Clay; and Scott; and Fremont. It is decidedly ploas anter to be on the winning side especially when —as now—it happens also to be the right side. We sympathize with the afflicted; but we can not recommend them to do anything desperate. What is the use* They aie beaten now, they may triumph next time; in fact, they have gen erally had their own way: had they been sub jected to the discipline of adversity &s often as we have, they'would probably bear it with more philosophy, and deport themselves more befit tingly. ♦ We live to learn: and one of the most difficult acquirements is that of meeting reverses with graceful fortitude. The telegraph informs as that most of the Cotton States are meditating a withdrawal from the Union because of Lincoln's election. Very well: they have a right to meditate, and medi itition is a profitable employment of leisure.— We have a etironio, ioyiuoiole disbelief in Dis union as a remedy for either Northern or South ern grievances; we cannot perooive any neees aary relation between the alleged disease and this ultra-heroic remedy; still, we say, if any body sees fit to meditate Disunion, let them do •0 nniuoleatod. That was a base and hypoeritie !row that the House once raised, at Southern dictation, about the ears of John Quioey Adains, because be presented a petition for the dissolution of the Union. The petitioner bad a right to make the request; it was the member's duty to present it. And now, if the Cotton Sutos oonsider tbo value of Ibe Union debata ble we maintain tbeir perfect right to discuss it. Nay, we bold with Jefferson to theinalien aUe right of communities to alter or abolish fotms of government that have beoome oppres sive or injurious; and if tbe Cotton States shall beiome satisfied that thoy can do better out of tbi Union than in it, we insist on letting them go in peace. Tbe right to secede may bo a revolutionary one, but it exists nevertheless; and we do not see bow one party can have a right to do what another party has a right to prevent. Wo must ever resist the asserted . right of any State to remain in the Uuion and nullify or defy the laws thereof: to withdraw from the Union is quite another matter. And whenever a considerable section of our UDIOU i shall deliberately resolve to go out, we sbail ; resist all coercive measures desigued to keep it in. We hope never to live in a republio where of one section i 3 piuned to tbe residue by bay onets. But while we thus uphold tbe practical lib erty if not the abstract right of secession, we I must insist (hat the step be taken, if it ever shall be, with tbe deliberation and gravity be fitting so momentous an issue. Let ample time be given for reflection; let the subject be fully canvassed before the pceple; and let a popular vote be taken iu every case before secession is decreed. Let tbe people bo told just why they are urged to break up the confederation; let them have both sides of the question fully pre sented; let them reflect, deliberate, then vote; and let the act of secessioa be tbe eobo of an unmistakable popular fiat. A judgement thus rendered, a demau i for separation so backed, would either be acquiesced in witbout the effu sion of blood, or those who rushed upou oarnage to defy and defeat it would place themselves clearly iu the wroug. The measures now being inaugurated in tbe Cottn Stages with a view (apparently) to Se cession, sr.eut to us destitute of gravity and legitimate force. They hear the unmistakeable impress of haste— of passion—of dirtrnst of the popular judgment. They seem clearly intended to precipitate the South into rebellion before the baselessness of the clamors which have tuislei uud excited her, can be ascertained by the greet body cf her people. We trust that they will be confronted with calmness, with dignity, and with unwavering trust in the inhe rent strength of the Uuion aud the loyalty of tne American People. Important from (he South. THE SECESSION MOVEMENT. THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE — A BILL INTRO DUCED DECLARING GEORGIA OUT OF THE UNION. Milledgeville, Nov. 12.—Mr. Her'ridgo in troduced a resolution in the House this morn ing, declaring Georgia to be out of the Uuion. A bill making similar declaration was also introduced, which providas for calling a con vention to ratify tbe secession. Both were referred to a committee to report upon the matter. The resignation of Senator Toombs is to take place on the 4th of Marcb, unless Geor gia secedes before that time. A NEW MOVE—THE ELECTORAL VOTE OF THE NORTHERN NULLIFICATION STATES TO BE THROWN OCT. Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 12.—A resolution was offered in the House to-day, instructing the Senators and Representatives in Congress from this State, to resist the eountiog, in tbo Electoral College, of tbe votes of the States wbieh have nullified the fugitive slave law. Its consideration was made the special order tor tbe 20'h inst. A resolution was also offered contemplating the call of a Southern convention in February at Atlanta. One of the provisions of the "retaliatory bill'' exempts all foreign goods aDd merchan dise imported into Georgia and other Southern ports, from State, county and corporation tax lifter the Ist of January uext. A bill has been introduced in both Houses, calling a Convention, to which all Federal af fairs shall be referred. IMPORTANT RUMOR —SOUTH CAROLINA'S DEC LARATION OF INDEPENDENCE PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT. Washington, Nov. 12.—it is reported that the Declaration of Independence oi South Car olina was laid before the I'resideut to day.— This rumor needs confirmation. EFFECT OF THE SECESSION MOVEMENT ON THE MONEY MARKET. LOUISVILLE, NOV. 12.—The Broker's are charging 5 per cent, discount on South Caro lina and Georgia bank bills. LEXINGTON, Kr., Nov. 12.—The rumor that Mr. Breckiuridge is going South to make Union speeches, or in auy manner interfere with the troubles of secessions, is stated by that gentleman to be witbout foundation. THE SOUTHERN MEDICAL STUDENTS. NEW YORK, NOV. 12.—The Southern Medi cal Students have resolved to postpone their action until tbe Southern Stales shall secede. REPORTED SUSPENSION OF BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA. NEW YORK, NOV. 12.—1t is reported that tbe Bank of South Carolina has suspended speoie paymont. SENTIMENT IN VIRGINIA." RICHMOND, Nov. 12 —The affairs in the South attract much attentiun here. The people are oalmly awaiting tbo issue. Meetiogs will probably be held in the dif ferent counties before the Legislature meets, for tbe expression of public opinion. The vote of the State has not yet been ascer tained. Both the 801 l and Breckinridge parties figuro out majorities. Several counties have not beeu heard from. It is understood that Tom Corwin, of Ohio, can, if he will, ooeupy a prominent position in Mr. Liocolu's cabinet, and in the event of his declining to do so an invitation will be extend ed to Mr Ewing or Mr. Vinton, of tbe same State. Mr. Graham or Mr. Badger, of North Car olina, are also confidentially mentioned in this connection. UNION MEETING AT LEXINGTON, KT. LEXINGTON, KR., Nov. 12.—A meeting of the Bell aud Douglas parlies was held here to day, at wbioh resolutions wore adopted denounc ing in strong terms any attempts at secession or disunion by any State. Patrioto speeches were made by Leslie Coombs and others. UNION MEETING AT HENDERSON, KT. HENDERSON, KY., NOV. 12.—A large and enthusiastic Union meeting, irrespective of par ty, was held to-day. Ex-Governor Dixon presided. Strong Union speeches were made by Bell, Breckinridge and Douglas men. Union resolutions were unanimously adopted in which secession is strongly deprecated. A meeting of '.he people of tbe whole State has beeu called for Saturday next. THE SENTIMENT AT WASHINGTON—THE PRESI DENT TO ISSUE A SPECIAL PROCLAMATION. WASHINGTON, NOV. 12.— AS far as can be ascertained, there ts no disposition either on the part of the Administration or of gentlemen of political prominence here, to interfere with the present Southera movements, except, perhaps, in a friendly spirit. It is now probable that the President will soon issue an address or proclamation, as tbe election of delegates to tbe South Carolina Con vention will take place at an earlier day than was recently anticipated, aud as, in consequence there would not be sufficient time for the gene ral eiiculatiou of an appeal through the annual message, as was nrigtnul contemplated. The subject was to-night under consideration. Such is the alarm that Washington will not be continued as the seat of government, that tho value of real estate has been sensibly af fected by tbo secession movement - Gov. Houston, of Texas, talks in the follow ing sensible way to the Disuuion babblers.— The ex tracts are from bis speech at Austin, Texas, September 22d : "But, fellow-citizens, we have a new party in our midst. They have deserted tbe old democracy, and under the lead of Mr. Yancey have started what they oall a Southern Con stitutional party. They say that they could not get their constitutional rights in tho na tional democracy ; and because tbe platform was adopted which they all endorsed and un der which they all fought, iu 1856, they sece ded. Jt will be recollected that 1 objected to that platform in 1856 ; but 1 was declared to be wrong. They all denounced mc then : but now they suddenly aee that the platform won't do, and they secede to get their constitutional rights. They are keepers of the Constitution ; they don't want anything but the Constitution, and they won't have anything but the Uon utitution. Tbey have studied it so profoundly j that they claios to know better what it means than the men who made it. They have oomi ■ nated Southern constitutional candidates, and have uieu traveling about the country ex pounding tbe Constitution ; and yet there is searjely one of them but will tell you that, notwithstanding tbe fact that Mr. Linoolo may be elected in he mode pointed out by the Con stitution, and by a constitutional majority, they will not submit. You hear it from the stump ; you read it in their papers and their resolutions, that if Mr. Lincoln is elected the Union is to be dissolved! Here is a con stitutional party that intends to violate the Constitution because a man is constitutionally elected President! Here is a constitutional party that proclaims it treasonable for a tnau to uphold the Constitution. If the people constitutionally elect a President, is the minor ity to resist him! Do they intend to carry that principle into their new Southern Con federacy! If they do, wo can readily con ceive bow long it will last. * * "But who are tbe teachers of this new fangled southern constitutional democracy.— ! Are they uot ut*n like Yancey and Wigfall, who have been always regarded as beyond the pale of national democracy! Transplants front the South Carolina nursery of disuuion ! Whenever and wherever the spirit of nulifija tiou and disuuion has shown itself, they and their coadjutators have been found regularly at work. They have been defeated time and again, but like men who have a purpose, they have not ceased tbeir efforts. No sacrifice of pride or dignity has been deemed too great if it assisted in the great purpose of disunion.— What, if they assailed the Compromise of 1850. They endorsed it iu the platform of 1852. From non-intervention they turn to interven tion. From tho pocultar advooates of state rights, denying the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, tbey become the advooates of tbe Su preme Court, as an arbiter, and shout for the Dred Scott decision. Anything for disunion ! They can as readily dissolve the Union upou one issue as another. At the Nashville Con vention they determined to dissolve it, unless the Missouri Compromise line was extended to the Paoifio. In 1854 they deemed the exis tence of this line a cause of separatiou, and demanded its repeal. Tbe admission of Kan sas was the next ultimatum, and now it is tbe eleotion of Mr. Lincoln. Should they fail, it will be the adoption of the slave code, and the repeal of the laws making tho slave trade piracy." MR. LINCOLN ON ELECTION DAT. —The election ia Springfield, Illinois, on Tuesday week, was quietly conducted, notwithstanding the heavy importations of nooiinai residents to overcome the expected Republican majority. Mr. Lincoln had passed most of the day in the Governor's House, reoeiviog numerous vis itors, eutertainiug them with discussions upon various topics, not exclusively political, but sometimes humorously touohing upon matters as foreign to the business of the dav as the splitting of rails. The city has beon enliven ed with tho performances of roving bands of music, discharges of cannon, and other mani festations of popular feeling. The multitude at the Court House, where the polls are fixed, was vory great during the forenoon and tho early part of tho afternoon, but toward three o'clock it diminished suffi ciently t> allow tolerable free passage. Mr. Lincoln, who bad intended to delay voting till five o'clock, was consulted to take advantage of this opportunity. He accordingly, after surveying tho Court House, and tho crowd surrounding it, from his window, and stoppiog a morneut to read a fragment of good news sent him from New York by Simeon Draper, started out, accompanied by a few of his more immediate associates, and walked leisurely over to deposit his vote. He was not observ ed by the masses until ho rea.iied the Court House steps, bat at that moment he was sud denly salutod with the wildest outbursts of ou tbusiasm ever yielded by a popular assem blage. All party feelings seemed to be forgotten, aud evea the distributors of opposition tickets joined iu the overwhelming demonstrations of greeting- Mr. Lincoln paesed through the hall and up the stairs without impediment, but on reaching the court room the crowd gather fed about biro with such excese of zeal that it was with some difficulty ho made bis way through. Mr. Lincoln advanced as rapidly as possible to toe voting table and handed in his ticket, upon which, it is hardly necessary to say, all the names were sound Republicans. The only alteration he made was the cut ting off his own name at the top, where it had been printed. As he emerged after voting, from the temporary enclosure, the manifesta tions of enthusiasm were doubled, and Mr. Lincoln, moving his hat, bowed in acknowledge ment. Many persons pushed forward to take his hand and exchange a cordial welcome witb bim, but the crush was too great for comforta ble conversation, so be was soon released, and escorted out with all the popular honors that could be lavished upon him. He at once re turned to his room in tb State House, after an absence of not more than five minutes alto gether, and resumed bis quiet intercourse witb his visitors, ss composedly as if he bad not just been the object of as overwhelming a tes timonial of public affection as ever any ruan was visited with.—JV". Y. Tribune. AFTER THE BATTLE. WHAT THE NEWSPAPER PRESS THINKS OP THE RESULT. The-New York Journal of Commerce (Breck inridge) say 3: "We have met the enemy, ar.,d we are theirs. Such at least are the unmistakable indications. I'ho splendid Democratic union majority of 29,- 000 in this city, has doubtless been overborne by tbe avalanche of Black Republicanism from the middle, western, aud northern parts of tho State; and if so, we have nothing to do but to submit, with tho best grace we can. The vote of the Empire State, added to those of other States which may be considered sure for Lin coln, makes it alt but certain that he will be onr next President. Oue consolation remains to us as conservative uen, viz: that wo bavo both houses of Congress. This will check any wayward fancies that may seize the Executive, under the pressure of his abolition advisors, or otherwise. Let u< bopo for tbe best." The New York Herald says: "Now that tbe smoke and dust of election are cleared away, it behooves all good oitizeos to settle down to their occupaiious, and te dis charge the duty which they owe to their fami lies. Let tbe artisans and mechanics, who have suffered themselves to be temporarily diverted from their pursuits by their patriotic impulses, agaiu apply themselves steadily to them." [Prom the New Yoik Express, Bell and Ev erett.] 1 ha consequence of this departure froui the chart of Washington, an d from the spirit of the Federal Constitution, remains to be seen. We deplore—deeply deplore it; and yet, as good citizens, it is our daty to make the best of it and to acquiesco in it, as under tbe forms, if not iu the spirit and mtaut, of tbe Constitu tion. What our Southern countrymen may do remains te be aeeD; but we hope their appreheu 9ion will be soothed, if not assuaged, by the fact that the House of Representatives, as well as the Senate are to be conservative, and can not be wielded for destructive principles against the States of tho South. The fact that Abraham Liucoln runs second best in the Slave State of Delaware is not the least significant among the many significant and suggestive faots of tbe glorious political cam ps igu through which we have just passed. The Wilmington State Journal and Statesman, which is exceedingly jubilant over the result, ooutaiut returns which are nearly complcto, aud which 1 foot up for Breckinridge 6.147, Lincoln 3,751 Bell 3,272; and Doughs 992 G. P. Fisher, who sympathizes w:th the Republicans in all their leading ideas—the non-extension of Slave ry, Free Homesteads, Protection to American Industry,&c.,— is elected to Congress. Since there is, according to The Express, and other like veracious authority, no Republican party in the Southern States, little Delaware may be said to have done remarkably well. She will do even better next time. BY TELEGRAPH i PHILA., Nov. 15,1860. To Inquirer .*•—The fusion electoral tioket is defeated io New Jersey. Tbe official vote re turns four Linoolo and three Douglas electors. D. J. C. EVEN THOSE who are in tbe enjoyment of perfect health frequently have nee
