Thomas Jefferson worried about the Missouri Compromise in 1820 because it seemed to split the nation along "slave" and "free" lines. He called it something like "an alarm bell in the night." (Google the exactly quotation if you wish.) Prior to this time politicians did not think in terms of the nation being divided into two different regions, but Jefferson saw that this would lead to conflict. In addition, Jefferson and most other people of his generation had thought of slavery as something that would just go away soon.
I do not think they did.

Thomas Jefferson referred to the Missouri Compromise as a " fire bell in the night" because of the fact that he saw it as an extremely pressing matter. A fire bell in the night indicates there is an emergency and Jefferson saw the matter as an emergency. Jefferson knew that the federal government in the person of the Congress was overstepping its constitutional rights by demanding that the State of Missouri - which had chosen to permit black slavery in that state - not be permitted into the Union or be permitted only if the State of Kansas (a free state) also be admitted to assure that the balance of power remained with the North. To Jefferson, this intrusion into the internal affairs of a sovereign state - Missouri - boded ill for the concept of states' rights. Remember, the first and strongest "check" to federal power was the power of the sovereign States to move against any unconstitutional efforts by the central government via such actions and nullification and secession. Without this power, the States would soon find themselves as politically impotent within the nation as counties are with States.
