The northern states didn't have slavery as the southern states did, and they were smaller. They were afraid that if slaves were counted as part of the population that would give the southern states an advantage when they were represented in Congress. In 1790 35% of the population in VA was slave, so that can make a difference in the balance of power between states.

What did northern states compromise when southern delegates finally consented to some commercial regulations?
One of the compromises that came about between the North and the South was the right for States to regulate slave trade for another 20 years, after which, the Government would take over. There was also a compromise that allowed southern states the right to count slaves as 3/5s of a person, whereas initially the North did not want slaves to be counted at all. This is how the representative numbers were chosen for the House, which led to the South agreeing to commercial regulations proposed by the North.
