There was no "Republican Party" in 1820; the Republican Party in the United States was founded in the 1840s on an anti-slavery policy.
Federalists were a prominent political party that died by 1820. With the federalists gone it left only the republican party in the United States.

The main parties between 1828 and 1854 were the Democratic Party and the Whig Party. Between 1854 and 1860, the Whig Party fell apart and was replaced by the Republican Party. Before 1828, the main parties were Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party, from which the Democratic Party came.
John Quincy Adams ran for U. S. President as a Democratic-Republican in 1820 and 1824 and as a National Republican in 1828.

All though party strength was difficult to judge and not properly recorded prior to the general election of 1830 (only 56% of MPs in 1820 belonged firmly to a party group), the UK general election of 1820 resulted in a working majority for the Tory Party - the spiritual precursor to the modern Conservative Party.
The Federalist Party was the first political party in the U.S. It's supporters believed in a strong federal government.The Republican party spun out of the Whig party. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 divided the country between the pro-slavery, agrarian South and anti-slavery, industrial North, Angered by the Kansas-Nebraska Act where settlers in these territories would decide if their state would be free or slave the anti-slavery members of the Whig party met to form a new party. The party's first nominating convention, in Philadelphia, June 17, 1856, announced the birth of the Republican Party as a unified political force.Clarification of the Republican Party TodayIt should be kept in mind that the Republican Party of today is the opposite of the Republican Party from the time of Lincoln and until 1964. Before then the Democratic Party was the pro-slavery party until the Civil Way and the pro segregation party after that until 1964. In 1964 the Civil Right Act was passed eliminating official segregation (Jim Crow laws which made segregation a legal institution were prohibited). This was seen by the segregationists (largely the South) as an act of the Democratic Party (Lyndon Johnson's initiative) so almost instantly supporters of segregation supporters switched from the Democratic to the Republican. So, the anti-slavery party of Lincoln became the pro segregation party and the Democratic Party, the pro slavery party before this historic date, became the friend of minorities and the powerless. So, keep in mind when today's Republicans say they're the party of Lincoln it's a trick -- the party name's the same but it's intents and beliefs, or at least were, the opposite. If you think about it, what sense does it make that the rebel states of the Civil War are supporters of Lincoln???

1820 was the third of four times that an existing state became two states. In an effort to keep the number of slave states and free states equal at the time that Missouri put in its request for statehood, the federal government asked Massachusetts to surrender the half of the state east of New Hampshire. Massachusetts agreed, and its northeastern half became Maine. The Federalist Party was history by that point in history, leaving one major party, the Democratic-Republican Party. As a result, James Monroe ran unopposed in the election of 1820, and in 1824 there were four Democratic-Republican candidates, none of whom received the required minimum number of electoral votes.
