It was getting harder to create new slave-states, so the Compromise had to include a gesture of appeasement to the South. This was the Fugitive Slave Act, which infuriated the North, and generally raised the tensions.

What was the admission of California in the compromise of 1850?
The admission of such a vast new state as free soil was a major concession by the South. That is why Congress felt they needed to make a big gesture to appease the South, in the form of the controversial Fugitive Slave Act.
What new slave state did the Compromise of 1850 admit?
California. (New Respondent) No, California was to be free - a major decision that needed a big gesture of appeasement for the South. This gesture was the Fugitive Slave Act that brought the civil war a long step closer. I'm not sure it admitted any new slave-states. I think it allowed for the states of Utah and New Mexico to be eligible for slavery under certain conditions when the time came.
How did the thirteen colonies benefit by working together?
The Americans found that they could work together during the Revolutionary War. In peacetime, things did not work well. They needed taxation to have an army and they needed currency. The Articles of Confederation needed change. The Colonists needed to stop being Virginians, New Yorkers, and North Carolinians; they needed to think as Americans. So they had to come together to write a Constitution.

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.
