The deal was to allow California to join the union as free soil, in exchange for Congress agreeing to toughen-up the Fugitive Slave Act, with official slave-catchers hunting down runaways. This aroused the growing Abolitionist lobby, and led to the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.

Who was the people that the compromise of 1850 allowed people to decide whether they wanted slavery?
The Compromise of 1850 did not allow any choice in the matter. It reflected the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 that allowed the people of those two territories to vote on the slavery question. The only time it was tried (in Kansas), it led to terrible bloodshed, and was not tried again. The result was that Kansas rejected slavery.
What was the plan to ban slavery in territories gained from New Mexico?
In the Compromise of 1850, the Mexican Cession territory (excluding California) was to become New Mexico and Utah. Their slave situations were to be determined using popular sovereignty, or the power of the votes of the people to decide if it would be a slave state or not. In addition, the Compromise of 1850 also gave the disputed territory between Texas, a slave state, and New Mexico to New Mexico. This invalidated the previous compromise, the Missouri Compromise, which banned slavery in North of 36 in newly gained territory.
