Oath and Paroles.

I do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith, allegiance, and loyalty to the government of the United States, and support, protect, defend and sustain the Constitution, Government and laws thereof; and I will maintain the national sovereignty in its integrity, any ordinance, resolution, or laws of any State Convention, or Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding. That I will discourage and discountenance secession, rebellion, and the disruption and severance of the Union, that I disclaim and abjure all fact and fellowship with the so called Confederate States and Confederate armies, and pledge my property and my life to the sacred performance of this, my solemn Oath of Allegiance to the Government of the United States. And further, I will not attempt to trade or have any correspondence, directly or indirectly, or have any business transaction whatever with any person living in the so called Confederate States unless under the proper military supervision and approval; and that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatever; and that I will well and faithfully perform all the duties required of me as a true and loyal citizen of these United States. So Help Me God.

(signed) Geo: Loyall
