Answer 1:
Slave owners.
Answer 2:
Slave owners are one group. Various worker's groups in the North would be another. No one really wants to compete with slave labor - or compete with how little a runaway slave is willing to work for.
And, sad to say, Abolitionists in those times were like Libertarians today. They were regarded as possibly right in theory, but impractical, a small group, and more loud than anything else. They weren't terribly numerous compared to the entirety of the Northern population. Thus most of the North was quite happy with a demographic of near exclusively Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Scandinavian heritage.
And thus would not wish runaway slaves to settle there.
