What were the terms to the compromise?

The Compromise of 1850 was a series of legislative measures designed to address the issue of slavery in the newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War. The terms included the admission of California as a free state, the organization of the territories of New Mexico and Utah with the question of slavery to be decided by popular sovereignty, the abolition of the slave trade (but not slavery itself) in Washington D.C., and the enactment of a stricter Fugitive Slave Law. These terms were intended to maintain the delicate balance between free and slave states in the Union.
