Nope.
The slaves that could not leave Alabama and go into Oregon were still slaves in Alabama.
Are you suggesting all 19th century fights against slavery were illegitimate because they didn't immediately attempt to end slavery worldwide?
Didn't a lot of Republicans vote for the Corwin Amendment, or am I thinking of something else?
What does the Corwin Amendment have to do with the founding of the Republican Party?

Lincoln at Peoria, Illinois, on October 16, 1854, CW 2:248.
I wish to MAKE and to KEEP the distinction between the EXISTING institution, and the EXTENSION of it, so broad, and so clear, that no honest man can misunderstand me, and no dishonest one, successfully misrepresent me.
Lincoln, Greenville, Illinois, September 13, 1858, CW:3:96.
In a most able manner did Mr. Lincoln clear up and refute the charges that he was an Abolitionist, and an Amalgamationist, and in favor of placing negroes upon a social and political equality with the whites. He asserted positively, and proved conclusively by his former acts and speeches that he was not in favor of interfering with slavery in the States where it exists, nor ever had been. That he was not even in favor of abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, unless a majority of the people of the District should be in favor of it, and remuneration should be made to masters who might be unwilling to give up their slaves without compensation; and even then he would want it done gradually.
Lincoln, Chicago, Illinois, July 10, 1858, CW 2:492, emphasis added.
I have said a hundred times and I have no no inclination to take it back, that I believe there is no right, and ought to be no inclination in the people of the free States to enter into the slave States, and interfere with the question of slavery at all. I have said that always..
Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, June 23, 1858, CW 2:471.
I have declared a thousand times, and now repeat that, in my opinion, neither the General government, nor any other power outside of the slave states, can constitutionally or rightfully interfere with slaves or slavery where it already exists.
Lincoln at Bloomington, Illinois, on September 4, 1858, CW 3:87.
We have no right to interfere with slavery in the States. We only want to restrict it to where it is.
Lincoln at Ottawa, Illinois, on August 21, 1858, CW 3:16, italics added.
I will say here, while upon this subject, that I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
Lincoln at Quincy, Illinois, October 13, 1858 CW 3:277.
I expressly declared in my opening speech, that I had neither the inclination to exercise, nor the belief in the existence of the right to interfere with the States of Kentucky or Virginia in doing as they pleased with slavery or any other existing institution.
Lincoln, Columbus, Ohio, September 16, 1859, CW 3:435.
We must not disturb slavery in the states where it exists, because the constitution, and the peace of the country, both forbid us. We must not withhold an efficient fugitive slave law, because the constitution demands it.
