If I am correct, and I believe I am, the Compromise of 1850 ended the practice of slave auctions inside the borders of Washington DC.
The overriding issue was slavery. The compromise included The Fugitive Slave Act and agreement to allow slavery within the borders of Missouri.

The Compromise of 1850 did not offer a permanent solution to the slavery question because the "Fugitive Slave Law" that was part of it was not enforced by Northern states, leading Southern political leaders faced with no choice but to secede.
