I'm pretty sure Stephen A. Douglas DID NOT pass the Compromise of 1850. He only agreed about the idea of a railroad starting from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. Douglas's plan failed anyway, but just to be clear that Stephen A. Douglass was NOT in any part of passing the Compromise of 1850, I promise you!
Yea you are wrong, he helped pass the law through congress by splitting them up into 6 (later 5) separate measures. few members were prepared to vote for all of them, but from different elements Douglas hoped to mobilize a majority for each.
The Compromise of 1850 included five separate bills that passed Congress to defuse tension between the slaves states of the South and the free states of the North. Henry Clay devised the Compromise and passed it with the help of Stephen Douglas.

Henry Clay was not directly involved in the Compromise of 1850, as he had retired from the Senate by that time. However, he played a crucial role in earlier compromises related to slavery, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Compromise of 1850 was largely shaped by other leaders, including Stephen A. Douglas, but Clay's earlier efforts laid the groundwork for such legislative negotiations. Clay is often associated with the spirit of compromise in American politics.
