No.
The Compromise allowed the Missouri territory to join the USA as a slave-state.
The condition was that there should be no more new slave-states North of the parallel that marked Missouri's Southern border.
This represented a clear 'line in the sand' that kept the peace for thirty years, until the admission of California made the Compromise inoperable.
