How was the compromise of 1850 more a triumph of sectional self-interest than a true national compromise?

By definition, a compromise is a resolution of conflicting sectional interests. 'National compromise' doesn't mean too much.
The Compromise of 1850 was a rather desperate attempt to replace the successful Missouri Compromise, which had kept the peace for thirty years, but was rendered inoperable by the admission of California - too big to fit the geographical terms of the compromise.
In the new deal, California would be admitted as free soil - a major concession by the South, who then needed to be appeased by the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways.
This did not keep the peace, as we know.
