	Compromise Measures of 1850 - MSN Encarta
		The measures, sometimes referred to collectively as the Omnibus Bill, dealt chiefly with the question of whether slavery was to be sanctioned or prohibited in the regions acquired from Mexico as a result of the Mexican War.
		This measure superseded the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
		The compromise measures resulted in a gradual intensification of the hostility between the slave and free states.

	Compromise of 1850 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Compromise of 1850 was a series of laws that resolved the territorial and slavery issues arising from the Mexican-American War (1846–48).
		The various compromises lessened political contention for four years, until the relative lull was shattered by the divisive Kansas-Nebraska Act.
		The Compromise came to coalesce around a plan dividing Texas at its present-day boundaries, creating territorial governments with "popular sovereignty" (without the Wilmot Proviso) for New Mexico and Utah, admitting California as a free state, abolishing the slave auctions in the District of Columbia, and enacting a harsh new fugitive slave law.

		Compromise of 1850 The annexation of Texas to the United States and the gain of new territory by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo at the close of the Mexican War (1848) aggravated the hostility between North and South concerning the question of the extension of slavery into the territories.
		John C. Calhoun and other Southerners, particularly Jefferson Davis, maintained that the South should be given guarantees of equal position in the territories, of the execution of fugitive slave laws, and of protection against the abolitionists.
		Clay proposed that a series of measures be passed as an omnibus compromise bill.

		Those Compromise measures of 1850 were founded upon the great fundamental principle that the people of each State and each Territory ought to be left free to form and regulate their own domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Federal Constitution.
		Being the only man in that city who was held responsible for affirmative votes on all those measures, I came forward and addressed the assembled inhabitants, defended each and every one of Clay’s Compromise measures as they passed the Senate and the House, and were approved by President Fillmore.
		Let it always be recorded in history to the immortal honor of the people of Chicago that they returned to their duty when they found that they were wrong, and did justice to those whom they had blamed and abused unjustly.

		In 1851, the Whig party and the Democratic party united in Illinois in adopting resolutions indorsing and approving the principles of the Compromise measures of 1850, as the proper adjustment of that question.
		In 1852, when the Whig party assembled in Convention at Baltimore for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Presidency, the first thing it did was to declare the Compromise measures of 1850, in substance and in principle, a suitable adjustment of that question.
		I walked into a public meeting in the hall of the House of Representatives, and replied to his repudiating speeches, and resolutions were carried over his head denouncing repudiation, and asserting the moral and legal obligation of Illinois to pay every dollar of the debt she owed and every bond that bore her seal.

	Omnibus Bill - KS-Cyclopedia - 1912
		Omnibus Bill.—The compromise measures of 1850 are of interest to the student of Kansas history, for the reason that they represent the last action of Congress on the question of slavery prior to the organization of Kansas as a territory, and paved the way for the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill (q.
		When, therefore, the pretentious measure on which Clay and his grand committee of thirteen had bestowed so much anxious thought and care had passed the senate, and was sent to the house, it had been so shorn and reduced that it was received with peals of laughter from both friend and foe.
		The Whigs who supported the compromise measures were known as "Silver Greys" or "Snuff Takers," and those opposed were called "Woolly Heads." Pierce was elected and the slave party was in power when the question of organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska came before Congress in 1854.

		The compromise measures met with a spirited resistance in the House, but were passed successively, the last and most obnoxious to the North becoming a law September 9, 1850.
		This forced construction of the late compromises was not promulgated, but held in abeyance by the South and her Northern allies until the times might be propitious for its practical application.
		There was on the part of the managers in both the Whig and Democratic parties a general acquiescence in the compromises of 1850, and a determination to accept them as a final settlement of the question which had, during its discussion, threatened their disruption.

		If it had been repealed by the compromise of 1850, those most interested in the repeal do not seem to have yet discovered it in 1853.
		This was the first open signal of danger to the Missouri compromise; and on the following day Summer, of Massachusetts, gave notice of an amendment to the bill, providing that nothing contained in it should abrogate or contravene that settlement of the slavery question.

		In addition, by early 1850 some Southerners were clamoring for a more effective federal fugitive slave law while many northern congressmen resurrected a demand that public slave sales in the District of Columbia be banished.

		And the last is a system of political measures by which the original character of the government has been radically changed.
		I propose to bestow upon each of these, in the order they stand, a few remarks, with the view of showing that it is owing to the action of this government that the equilibrium between the two sections has been destroyed, and the whole powers of the system centered in a sectional majority.
		To this I answer, there is but one way by which it can be, and that is by adopting such measures as will satisfy the States belonging to the Southern section that they can remain in the Union consistently with their honor and their safety.

		Another group proposed that the question be left to "popular sovereignty," that is, the government should permit settlers to enter the new territory with or without slaves as they pleased and, when the time came to organize the region into states, the people themselves should determine the question.
		These measures -- known in American history as the Compromise of 1850 -- were passed, and the country breathed a sigh of relief.

		Ay,sir, "superseded" is the phrase--"superseded by the principles of the legislation of 1850, commonly called the compromise measures." It is against this statement, untrue in fact, and without foundation in history, that the amendment which I have proposed is directed.
		No man concerned in carrying those measures through Congress, and least of all the distinguished man whose efforts mainly contributed to their success, ever imagined that in the Territorial acts, which formed a part of the series, they were planting the germs of a new agitation.
		The Missouri compromise was interference; the compromise of 1850 was non-interference, leaving the people to exercise their rights under the Constitution.

	Compromise of 1850
		Compromise Measures of 1850 or the Compromise of 1850, was a series of five legislative enactments, passed by the U.S. Congress during August and September 1850.
		Fugitive Slave Laws were acts passed by the United States Congress in 1793 and 1850*, which were intended to facilitate the recapture and extradition of runaway slaves and to commit the federal government to the legitimacy of holding property in slaves.
		Owing to northern resentments, the acts of 1793 and 1850 faced legal challenges, primarily in the form of jurisdictional disputes over state personal liberty laws.

		Compromise was possible as long as neither side controlled the Senate, which had been balanced since 1819.
		The Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise Measures of 1850 were attempts to solve the issue by making provisions for the future admittance of free and slave states.
		In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise and provided that settlers in the territories should decide "all questions pertaining to slavery." Soon settlers in Kansas were engaged in a bloody battle to decide the slavery issue.

		Douglas had been laboring for the adoption of the Missouri Compromise, his votes on the Oregon question, and upon all questions touching slavery, were given with reference to a settlement on that basis, and were consistent with it.
