Nothing much, except the Fugitive Slave Act.
This was like a big gesture of appeasement, because the rest of the Compromise seemed to be very favourable to the North.
That was why Congress went overboard in making a macho law with heavy fines for the slightest breach of the Act. This turned ordinary Northern citizens into unpaid slave-catchers, and they strongly resented this, even when they were not Abolitionists.
The novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was written as a protest against the Act, and it was an instant best-seller that drove the two sections further apart, and undoubtedly brought the nation closer to civil war.
Two possible new slave-states and the Fugitive Slave Act, with official slave-catchers employed to hunt down runaways.
That Act did not actually help them at all, because it caused such an emotive reaction in the North that Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as a response to it.

The Compromise of 1850 appeased both North and South in several ways. The South was granted a harsher treatment of fugitive slaves by the North. Both North and South were granted parts of the Texas Territory. At this time, Washington, D.C. still had slaves, but the Compromise of 1850 did away with that practice.
The Missouri Compromise postponed the issue of slavery.
Basically the Missouri Compromise of 1850 was a fair compromise. One problem for Northern abolitionists was that the Compromise ushered in the Fugitive Slave Act. They were outraged that the new compromise included this law.
