The concession the North had to make on behalf of the South was to allow the employment of official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways and return them to their owners, and all citizens were obliged to co-operate with these slave-catchers.
In fact, this backfired badly. It angered the abolitionists, provoked Harriet Beecher Stowe into writing 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', and glorified the Underground Railroad, awakening anti-slavery feelings in large numbers who had not been especially interested in the debate till then.
So it did not benefit the South, as intended. As far as the forthcoming war was concerned, it worked in favour of the North. Some might say that without it, the war could have been averted.

How was the US politically impacted by the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850?
The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act made slavery a national issue. By that, it meant that while many in the North disapproved of slavery, it was a "Southern" issue, in a manner of speaking. The new slave law was designed to return slaves who had escaped to the North and sought their freedom. The new act, a part of the 1850 Missouri Compromise, now, by law, held Northern officials and even ordinary citizens part of the slavery issue. People giving aid and support to refugee slaves were under Federal obligation to help in their return. This angered many in the North, however, they only could blame their own elected representatives in Washington DC for the problem. As an aside, president-elect Lincoln, promised to enforce the law. Nothing, however, seemed to satisfy a good number of Southerners. Abolitionists in 1850 were astonished.
