Question: Who drafted the compromise which followed the admission of California as a state?
Context: California Admission Day is a legal holiday in the state of California in the United States.  It is celebrated as a day of observance annually on September 9 to commemorate the anniversary of the 1850 admission of California into the Union as the thirty-first state. William Hayden English (August 27, 1822 – February 7, 1896) was an American congressman from Indiana and the Democratic nominee for vice president in 1880.  English entered politics at a young age, becoming a part of Jesse D. Bright's conservative faction of the Indiana Democratic Party.  After a few years in the federal bureaucracy in Washington beginning in 1845, he returned to Indiana and participated in the state constitutional convention of 1850.  He was elected to the state house of representatives in 1851 and served as its speaker at the age of twenty-nine.  After a two-year term in the state house, English represented Indiana in the federal House of Representatives for four terms from 1853 to 1861, working most notably to achieve a compromise on the admission of Kansas as a state. The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California.  The news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad.  The sudden influx of immigration and gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy, and California became one of the few American states to go directly to statehood without first being a territory, in the Compromise of 1850.  The Gold Rush initiated the California Genocide, with 100,000 Native Californians dying between 1848 and 1868.  By the time it ended, California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory to the home state of the first nominee for the Republican Party. The Admission Day Monument is an 1897 sculpture by Douglas Tilden, located at the intersection of Market Street and Montgomery Street in San Francisco, California, United States.  It commemorates California Admission Day (September 9, 1850), the date on which the state became part of the Union, following the Mexican-American war of 1848. Human history in California begins with indigenous Americans first arriving in California some 13,000–15,000 years ago.  Exploration and settlement by Europeans along the coasts and in the inland valleys began in the 16th century.  California was acquired by the United States under the terms of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the defeat of Mexico in the Mexican–American War.  American westward expansion intensified with the California Gold Rush, beginning in 1849.  California joined the Union as a free state in 1850, due to the Compromise of 1850.  By the end of the 19th century, California was still largely rural and agricultural, but had a population of about 1.4 million. The Missouri Compromise is the title generally attached to the legislation passed by the 16th United States Congress on May 8, 1820.  The measures provided for the admission of Maine as a state along with Missouri as a slave state, thus maintaining the balance of power between North and South.  As part of the compromise, slavery was prohibited North of the 36°30′ parallel, excluding Missouri.  President James Monroe signed the legislation on April 6, 1820. The Compromise of 1850 was a package of five separate bills passed by the United States Congress in September 1850, which defused a four-year political confrontation between slave and free states on the status of territories acquired during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848).  The compromise, drafted by Whig Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and brokered by Clay and Democratic Senator Stephen Douglas of Illinois, reduced sectional conflict.  Controversy arose over the Fugitive Slave provision.  The Compromise was greeted with relief, but each side disliked some of its specific provisions: The Southern California Regional Occupational Center or SoCal ROC is located in the South Bay suburbs of Los Angeles of Torrance, California.  It is a Joint Powers Authority serving 6 school districts (Inglewood, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Torrance).  SoCal ROC serves an area encompassing 14 cities and certain unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.  The total population of this community is approximately 721,000.  SoCal ROC is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  All courses are certified by California State Department of Education.  Instructors are credentialed by the State of California.  SoCal ROC is nationally recognized as an Exemplary Career-Oriented Secondary School.  Admission is open to high school and adult students throughout Southern California.  High school students from the participating districts have priority for enrollment.  SoCal ROC is located at 2300 Crenshaw Boulevard in Torrance, California. The Public Land Commission, a former agency of the United States government, was created following the admission of California as a state in 1850 (part of the Compromise of 1850).  The Commission's purpose was to determine the validity of prior Spanish and Mexican land grants in California.
