The Julius Pratt Company gave an ivory cane to the leading opponent of this proviso, leaving blank space on the inscription for the anticipated date of its repeal. In the Senate, it was enacted through a technical maneuver involving votes on whether to vote. One bill which provided for this regulation was introduced by George Patton's great-grandfather, and another is named for New Hampshire's Charles Atherton. A maneuver againt it involved the "nine ladies from Fredricksburg" and the strategic omission of the intent of a piece of paper which Julius Caesar Alford made a motion to set on fire. Joshua Giddings played a key role in repealing this proviso in 1844, along with the man who constantly tested its limitations, Massachussetts Representative John Quincy Adams. For 10 points, name this standing rule of the House of Representatives, adopted in 1836 at the behest of Southern Congressmen, which prohibited the consideration of any petition regarding slavery.
