No, and it was not intended to.

It was a largely successful attempt to mediate the disagreement between North and South, by fixing a single line of latitude, and making slavery illegal anywhere North of that line.

It lasted thirty years until the admission of California, which extended so far on either side of the line that a new Compromise had to be worked out. That one did not last.
