Some people favored Henry Clay's proposed compromise while others said that we should just let slave states secede from the Union.
With the Compromise of 1850 Clay had specific proposals for achieving a compromise, including his idea for Texas' boundary. He also wanted to exclude slavery from the Southwest. Clahoun was on the opposite end as far as the slavery issue and felt any states and territories in the Southwest should be slave states.

John C. Calhoun was not satisfied with Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 because he believed it failed to adequately protect the interests of the Southern states and their institution of slavery. Calhoun felt that the compromise did not provide enough safeguards against the potential expansion of free states, which he feared would diminish the South's political power and economic interests. He advocated for a stronger assertion of states' rights and the protection of slavery, viewing the compromise as a temporary fix rather than a long-term solution to the growing sectional tensions.
