The Compromise of 1850 was a bill passed by the Senate in 1850. Senator Henry Clay was the main sponsor of the bill.
Clay proposed that a series of measures be passed as an omnibus compromise bill. Support for this plan was largely organized by Stephen A. Douglas. The measures were the admission of California as a free state; the organization of New Mexico and Utah territories without mention of slavery, the status of that institution to be determined by the territories themselves when they were ready to be admitted as states (this formula came to be known as popular sovereignty);the prohibition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia; a more stringent fugitive slave law; and the settlement of Texas boundary claims by federal payment of $10 million on the debt contracted by the Republic of Texas.
There was no slave trade agreement signed in Washington DC. Some mistakenly thought that the bill that ended slavery in the District was so named, however, this is wrong. The bill that ended slavery in the District was called the "1850 Compromise" and was signed into law in 1850.
If I am correct, and I believe I am, the Compromise of 1850 ended the practice of slave auctions inside the borders of Washington DC.

The March on Washington happened in Washington DC. The March on Washington ended at the Washington DC mall. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people participated.
Before becoming the US president Lincoln's position on slavery in Washington DC was similar to that of Henry Clay. As a matter of principle he favored emancipation in the capitol. On the matter of constitutional interpretation, he believed that the Federal government had the power to end slavery in Washington DC. With that said, Lincoln, as a matter of prudence argued that it was too risky to attempt, and unlikely to succeed.
