Jackson's big Southern problem was with South Carolina which led a sort of rebellion against the tariff which protected Northern industry at the expense of southern cotton farming.
These people proposed a doctrine of nullification which would allow any state to nullify any federal law which they found to be objectionable. Closely related to that idea was the idea that if things got too bad, states could secede from the union and become independent nations. Jackson believed that it was his duty as president to oppose nullification and certainly to disallow succession.
Interestingly, in the background was the issue of slavery. Southern states believed that it the federal government could impose damaging tariffs against their strong objections, that in due time it could abolish slavery. Jackson was not a threat to abolish slavery since he had over a 100 of his own.

What was the party that developed in opposition to the Jacksonian Democrats?
The Whig Party was formed in the winter of 1833--1834 by former National Republicans such as Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, and by Southern States Rights supporters such a Willie P. Mangum. Many southerners, who hated Jackson's power grabs and stance during the nullification crisis, supported the new party, as did many Anti-Masons. In its early form, the Whig Party was united only by opposition to the policies of President Andrew Jackson, especially his removal of the deposits from the Bank of the United States without the consent of Congress. The Whigs pledged themselves to Congressional supremacy, as opposed to "King Andrew's" executive actions such as the bank veto and his veto of a funding bill for a state highway in KY.
